As far as I can ascertain, the list below contains the names of all those, Israelis (Jews and Bedouin), and foreigners, still held captive by Hamas, and possibly other terrorist organisations, in Gaza on Day 331, and believed to still be alive. Pray for them; think of them; read their names. Behind each name is a person and, by extension, a complete world.
If you have any capacity for prayer left after that, pray for the families of those slaughtered by Hamas, whose bodies are still held in Gaza.
If you have any capacity for prayer left after that, pray for the future of the State of Israel. It needs your prayers no less than the hostages and their families do.
I have no other useful words to add today.
Israel, the Jewish homeland, cannot be a country that doesn’t protect its citizens. This horrible government, which doesn’t uphold the most basic Jewish values, cannot continue.
Our hearts are with you. I’m sure you are thinking how close your own family came to a similar experience. The PM has GOT to go…
Thank you for the names. May they see freedom!
David – hard times. May I share this on Facebook?
Sure you can.
Hard times indeed
Thank you – may we all have the mental strength to get through this.
