[commited19]

Miriam Peretz you are an angel and such a strong and wonderful woman. May you and your family be blessed and looked after

[stepetroul]

for rnathans00: this is the e-mail I've received from an Israeli friend:

You have to watch this!!!

Subject: Fwd: Miriam Peretz's speech at Friends of IDF dinner in New York

(the link to youtube)

She raised $250 million within an hour after this speech!

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I hate none, but I can't help hating war...

מרים את אישה נדירה , שפשוט אי אפשר להסביר את התופעה, אשריהם ישראל שיש להם אמהות כמוך.

[Lincalderon]

Heartbreaking video but shows the love of country. With some young people in the U.S. this is dead, but others have enlisted even though no draft. I can see fighting more when your actual country is being attacked which is what happens to Israel. They do not "start" it, but others engage them first. They would love peace but how can you have that when others don't even respect your right to exist.? They refrained for 7 years while Hamas lobbed rockets at them.

[SHOULSON18]

If the Arabs out down their weapons, there will be peace. If the Jews put down their weapons, they will all be dead!

Study history.

[stepetroul]

@slmrcs: can't tell whether she is evil or not, but surely ARE the men who exploits her grief. You're totally RIGHT, she is blind addressing to blinds, too.

I regard your quote continuation of both mine.

[slmrcs]

Um...If a message is not given with love, both it and the messenger will be rejected (not the exact quote). So what's wrong with this woman? I woudn't say she's evil, nor her sons, but she blind and on a narrow path. What is her paradigm that her sons died for? The hardest thing to do is often to question paradigms, people die for paradigms. Israel is not special, just another country, and the violence stops when the circle of violence is stopped.

[yossisaness]

אשה נפלאה.

הכל מתחיל ונגמר בחינוך.

[barbjohnson100]

An incredible woman of high stature in every regard. Thank you Miriam Peretz.

[stepetroul]

Her drama is exploited for the war to be continued and not to be stopped.

She is proud of her sons, but are her sons proud of her?

Israelis and Palestinians are being exploited by the WAR PIGS!!!

WAKE UP AT LAST!!!

[stepetroul]

She raised $250 million within an hour after this speech!

THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM (not her sons' killing).

Not only your war will NEVER stop (because few people make money out of wars, Israelis included), but these $250 million will be used to continue this war, with their friends, cousins, brothers and even mother possibly being killed in the future, too.

I'm very sorry that this speech is NOT against, but IN FAVOUR OF WAR...

[gtamir613]

@stepetroul All sane people are against war - certainly this woman is at the top of this list. The point that is made here is to raise money to help these brave soldiers continue to defend the Israeli People from our enemies. We are not paranoid, violent or looking to profit from war - we are just being strong in a very tough neighborhood that wants us dead.

[rnathans00]

@stepetroul Where are you getting that $250 million figure? I'm well aware of the FIDF organization and they never have that kind of money to pursue their projects. And your suggestion she or those around her are war mongers is insulting. Take your hatred elsewhere.

[thegotgots]

A very brave woman.

[connieann3]

She is why I love the Jewish people. Let us speak up to our family and friends to love and support the nation of Israel, and to decry the decision of this White House administration pressure Israel to give up her land to her avowed enemies. May God forgive us for abandoning Israel in her time of danger.

may God arise and Israel's enemies be scattered!God bless this mother in Israel and remember her words of courage and faith.

[FreeMp3MusicNow]

Very brave woman. Very moving.

Wish no more sorrow to the Israeli mothers.

Enough for wars.

[DrAvrington]

Such a tragedy for this poor woman and her family. Her words outline the truths told by Rabbi Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal within "Eim Habinim Semeichah", Rabbi Meir David Kahane within "Or Hara'ayon" but none more than Rabbi Ovadiah ben Yakov Sforno: “When you burn out the inhabitants of the land, Then you will merit to inherit it to your children…” Crush this "Palestinian" antsemitic Jihadist mythology, elect a Jewish Prime Minister and liberate ALL of YOUR lands...

[menodimi1]

Love her

[tomsquirks]

Thank you for giving your sons for the most worthwhile task and cause today, that of defending Israel and its capital Jerusalem. Thank you so very much and may G-d bless you!!

[bnice29]

Is Miriam related to Adva Peretz, a matrichot of SAR-EL in 5767?

[Couleegal]

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty...may G-d bless this strong and upright woman and avenge all injustice in His Time.

[Othy238]

May G-d Bless Mrs Peretz and Israel as a whole. Strengthen Protect Love and as I believe Oh G-D you will! Amen

[daniel62kwlwu]

i love Israel!!!!

[kimsegar1]

One precious Mother, her love for her son's and family and for Israel. She knows for a fact that soon Israel will make a stand like never before to the whole world and we all know G-d Himself is coming and will rule from Jerusalem. How anyone cannot love Israel and the Jewish people who have blessed the whole world is beyond me, much less believe the lies of the enemies. The Jews are my heart, keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem, His Chosen and My heart.

[Tiffakneeee]

What a courageous women! May Hashem continue to give you strength and may you live to be 120 years in good health and only see nachas from your whole family.

[JMellerMD]

A very moving and wonderful Jewish mother! May she be blessed by her

Grandchildren and not forgotten.

[amichain]

Nothing is stronger , nothings is bigger

[twisTeen]

She is so very strong, a very special woman.

[111333king]

Heartbreaking  but uplifting.What a people, what courage and faith

[TheMordyS]

Excellent speech

[einkerem]

This is what Israel so so very special. Parents with dedication, determination and unparallel faith in our cause to live as Jews in our own one and small country no matter what the price. May Mrs. Peretz be blessed with a house full of grandchildren!
