(OT)Re: [HSF] Broken femur

[Mitch Lirtzman]

If I may be so bold, Aliyah is truly one reason these souls emigrated to 
Israel. Indeed many may have been forced from their homes and could only go 
to Israel for their own safety. I'm sorry if it seems a bit defensive and 
forgive me for going off the OT, but from my vantage point, "it's always 
there". And by the way, "homeland" should not be in quotes. We were there 
first.
Respectfully,
Mitch Lirtzman
