Why is it so hard for most of the world to understand the love of the land that most Jews feel in their souls? Without Israel, we are lost as a people. Israel makes us feel proud. Terror against Israelis is felt throughout the Diaspora. We must help the Israelis prevail, no matter where we live.

I naively thought that the only harm that befell the agricultural areas was the loss of workers, I had no idea that agriculture was a specific target as well as the people. This is awful. Thank you for highlighting this, it needs to be amplified even more!

I love the ending: "Israel made the desert bloom. And we will do it again."

It was painful. It's almost as painful as reading about people because, ultimately, it IS about people. The viciousness is beyond me. I sometimes wonder what kind of a woman bore kids who grew into monsters driven by nothing but hate. But I want to focus on the ending. We will do it again. Hate can only achieve so much.

Thank you so much for the critical information you gave in this article, something it is unlikely we would see in our newsmedia in the US. And thank you for the work you do and all the people working so hard to rebuild this argricultural industry. You and the others will bring it to its glory again. Am Yisrael Chai!
