When I moved to Atlanta, the Counsel General (aka Ambassador) from Israel to this region was Reda Mansour. Mr. Mansour is a Druze-Israeli and brought to our community a deeper understanding of the lives of non-Jewish Israelis. He represented their commitment to a strong and lasting Israel for people of all faiths.
Today, a Druze village (not his specifically) fell victim to a missile attack from Hezbollah. A rocket manufactured by Iran, fell on a soccer (aka football) field, killing 11 children and teens. Israeli citizens. Futures cut short by a regime aimed at wiping Israel off the map.
More horror stories such as these aren’t told EVERY day because the anti-missle systems of Israel (thanks in part to support from the US) intercept dozens and dozens day and night, preventing the mass murder Iran proxies want. Today alone, over 100 missiles fired at Israel from Hezbollah, sadly this one got through the defense systems … and the consequences unimaginable.
If you don’t support Israel’s right to defend itself, its children of all faiths, then what do you actually stand for?
Ambassaor Mansour, please accept my condolences on behalf of your entire Druze community. May the memories of these children be a blessing to all who knew them and may their legacy be a lasting peace.
