I'm worried about the environmental impact of all those mid-air explosions.

I'm more worried about the impacts generally.

Don’t worry. The IDF purchased a bunch of offsets in Brazilian rain forests.

I dont want to minimize the situation there, but why would that be considered the most important story in the world right now?

I don’t Know enough about that area or situation to know whether that is a real possibility or not. But from a “big picture” outside view, what is the strategic aspect to this and the fighting between the two? Not oil, right? Not shipping or water rights? Is it Because a lot of people from the US live there?

Again, I don’t know much about the situation, but from the 10,000 m view, it seems to generate more news than it should.

(I should add that I am not minimizing what is happening to the people there. Just trying to understand why it is so important)

I think it starts with six million reasons...

Bach, thanks for the updates, but mostly, thanks for keeping us posted on how you and your family are doing. I don't know how you handle the stress of this.

Gosh, I don't know.

On a personal level maybe it's because one of our own and probably many friends of ours are getting rockets randomly lobbed at them.

On a humanitarian level it's because innocent civilians are being killed because the rabid dogs of Hamas and the like care more about their power and their grudges than their people.

On a national level we are a staunch (I hope) ally of Israel and are obligated to come to their defense if necessary.

On a global level it has the potential to deteriorate into a more major conflict in the Middle East with ramifications lasting years if not decades.
