To our Jewish and all our brethren -

Let us all rejoice today at the full release of all the living Israeli hostages this early morning from Gaza, as well as many of the dead hostages - who will be reunited even in sorrow and death with their loving families. Congrats to the leadership, the military and people of Israel, as well as many thousands of good folk from around the world, from the President of the United States on down, who have worked ceaselessly for this beautiful moment. This includes the US military, to whom two of our brave brothers belong. Let us all dare to hope that this will be a real and significant step toward lasting and true peace in the Middle East, and to the thriving of all its peoples. And finally - let us pray for the safety and well-being of the family and friends in Israel of so many of our good brothers. - Bitlerbro
