A "Family" at War
[USA Today] Jon Medved - Thousands of Israeli homes have been damaged by missiles as the deaths and casualties continue to mount. The vulnerability is ever-present. Our families are fighting for their very lives. With so many of our sons and daughters in the thick of the fight, this war is our war. Our army is our kids, and Jewish kids will not be kidnapped and slaughtered ever again without there being hell to pay. Because we will no longer sit idly while our enemies openly call for our destruction and amass the means to carry out their threats. Because we refuse to accept as normal a life where we must be afraid of a missile landing on our porch while we drink our morning coffee. Because this war is not being fought over territory, but our right to exist.
