Yes, yes, YES Joshua! This is spot on. Joy is indeed the antidote, well, *an* antidote, to so much negativity. Here, you show it standing against out and out rampant evil. Joy, real joy, is indeed something divine. Thank you, thank you again, for this piece which is (to me, at least) a tremendously positive and inspiring sign - perhaps much more than may be realised at first sight.

Bravo to all those Israelis who can find joy and laugh and get on with living. The strength of Israelis is amazing and their courage in doing so as well. This article made me feel overwhelmingly happy inside and gave me hope for better times.
