[JMellerMD]

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

Grandchildren and not forgotten.

[twisTeen]

She is so very strong, a very special woman.

[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...

[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.

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.
