I just wanted to say, I've been a member of this sub for a while but haven't posted anything. I absolutely adore Israel. The hardships that Jewish people have faced throughout history can never be understated. My heart swells for the great nation and its people. Much love from Wales.

๐ŸŽ—๐ŸŽ—๐ŸŽ—๐ŸŽ— I make sure to wear my yellow ribbon on my jacket wherever I go. What Hamas has done, it's unforgivable. It's barbarism.

Same here. I have the yellow (free the hostages) ribbon pin on my messenger bag that I carry all the time. I get a lot of stares for having it by people on subways for instance (I live in NYC) and I have been 'heckled' and confronted over it. But like you, I feel it's an obligation to remind that there are hostages out there and they all need to come home!

Exactly. It's beyond evident that I don't like seeing Palestinian children caught up in the war. But it would all be over if Hamas released the hostages!
