@rcman Thankyou - You must have been reading me on another thread. I shared too much . . .
I also listen to other people's stories; once you allow people to tell their story you would be amazed - even the relationships within families are affected by politics - probably happening in America now.
Jewish people have been kind to me - one was a well-known piano teacher here in Perth who taught my two younger girls piano 'for the price of one' and a few little jobs done by my husband. My best friend, who I do not often see now, is a Hungarian Jewish lady who married a Chinese man and their offspring, both first and second generation are absolutely beautiful-looking people, inside and out.
She and I are both conflicted about what is happening in Israel now and we tread carefully in our conversations.
Take care
