I have just finished watching the selected footage from your film. I'm moved by your complete dedication. You are giving voice to the beautiful people of Sderot. I feel their song, I see their hope. Avi's mission to empower the musical gifts of this generation is truly inspiring. Peace to you both. Laura,

Israel UNILATERALLY dismantled ALL Jewish settlements in Gaza in 2005 by sending in the Israeli army and forcibly evacuating every citizen (if someone else would have done it, we would have called it ethnic/religious cleansing!). You can read about it here (and see photos): http://www.tomgrossmedia.com/ExodusFromGaza.html Every last jewish settlement was evaculated from Gaza. And guess what? That brought the Hamas geographically CLOSER so that they could fire their rockets from shorter range. So now we can agree what Israel has sacrified for "their commitment to peace". What has Hamas sacrified for theirs? Greg,

Be careful how you through the word 'Holocaust' around. It is extremely insulting to Jewish people all over the world. The use of the term 'Gaza Holocaust' was created by Hamas in its attempt to turn the world on its side. Have you heard of 'The CNN Strategy?' Read this link to get a perspective on the information you are using to base your opinion... http://www.nationalpost.com/news/world/story.html?id=1149129 . Keep in mind that you are comparing 1,000 casualties in an defensive movement to 6 MILLION casualties in an atempt to annihilate an entire people. ------------------------------------------------------------ I am very greatful for having read this blog. It sounds like a horrible way to live but I commend you on your courage and your resiliance to make the truth heard. I will do my best to help from here in Dallas, TX, USA. I hope you wont mind my sending this blog link to media outlets in my area. First I have to address Greg. Be careful how you through the word ‘Holocaust’ around.

In case you don't realise it, as an American, you "have blood" on your hands from just about every war in the world since the USA's declaration of independence from Britain. So, is it safe to assume that you don't support the "War on Terror"? LOL... Greg…you need to get your head out your arse and do some serious introspection.

Israel refuses to honor it's commitment to peace by dismantling illegal settlements in Gaza and has made native people prisoners in there own lands. If someone shoots a rocket I don't have a problem trying with Isreal try to eliminating the shooter, but what is going on now is madness. Since the US gave you practically the entire arsenal of your military blood is on my hands and it troubles me greatly. If you think this is the way to peace you are greatly mistaken. God help us all!! As bad as I feel for you what is going on in Gaza is another holocaust.

The progressive sadness I felt while reading your blog, from where you started out so happy in the beginning, to where you are now, and how the focus of the blog has changed, has left me almost speechless. I posted a small entry on my own blog (http://dmdad.blogspot.com/2009/01/ever-heard-of-tzeva-adom.html) to see if I can get anyone to come and have a read of your plight too... Good luck, from South Africa. Hi…your blog details were passed to me by a Jewish friend, and I’m glad he did.

It is always unfortunate that the media will only tell one side of the story. I am from South Africa and we also tried to protect our way of living. We created apartheid which the whole world condemned. Today we have lost that battle against the rest of the world. What we did try and protect ourselves from now became a constant threat. We can't walk in the streets and are not safe in our own homes anymore. More people get murdered in this country annually than in war torn countries. I hope you succeed in protecting you way of living. Thanks for the wonderful in depth article on live in Israel. It is always unfortunate that the media will only tell one side of the story.

U are correct. The information we read in the daily papers is rubbish. We need to get this kind of information into the media. I am going to put a link to your site on my blog, and will also forward your blog details to local media. Maybe, just maybe, someone there will decide to post the truth! Good luck and God bless.

So, your blog and movie trailer provided a very pleasant contrast. I wish you and Avi all the very best, and every success in this endeavour. And I pray that the government of Israel - now that it has finally woken up and come to its senses - will stay the course without succumbing to the pressures from those who just don't seem to give a damn about Israel's security needs. Laura,
