I missed a lot of stuff from the book in Season 1, and S2 was clearly too late to bring all of that back. I loved S1 and still enjoyed S2, but I think it would have been even better if they'd made S1 longer. There was much more that could have been told there.

S2 was definitely more like Dr Who than the apocalyptic stakes of S1, but I guess you can do that only once.

As many of you here, and as all of you who have met or worked with me, know, I am an Israeli.

I’m also a life long peace activist for Israel-Palestine.

Unfortunately, MANY of you have taken the last few days to attack me, call me a murderer, lecture me about the world I grew up and lived in for 35+ years of my life, dare to speak down to me and over me, erase my history and lifelong dedication for Palestinian rights, and even wished me to die.

Others of you have taken the opportunity to call me an antisemite, a race traitor, a horrible person, a hypocrite, a terrorist, and erase my history and lifelong dedication to Jewish life and making Israel a better place to live.

Yet, VERY FEW of you have asked how I am. How is my family? How are my friends? How are YOU?

Well, no. I have my family & friends in deep crisis. Many have lost their own other family and friends, parents, siblings, kids and lovers - some by bullets, others by fire, others by kidnapping. A comrade of mine lost his parents. An other had their 16 year old son taken into Gaza. Too many people I know or am connected to have been murdered or taken. And I use the word murder, not killed, because sleeping civilians in their home or at a party are not military combattants. Babies aren’t targets.

I also have Palestinian friends who have lost families in Gaza from the bombs currently falling from IDF planes. My heart aches for them too as theirs does for me.

But many of you only care about death when one side fits your own narrative and unformed and ignorant beliefs.

So no, I’m not OK. I’m not OK at all.

I'm sorry about what happened to you. About what happened to thousands of people in Israel and Palestine.

About picking sides, a lot of people insist on seeing this as a conflict between Israel and Palestine. Between all Israelis and all Palestinians. I think that's the wrong take; it's a conflict between extremists on both sides and civilians on both sides.

Hamas attacks, Israeli civilians die. Israel retaliates, and Palestinian civilians die. Whatever happens, more civilians die. Hamas is just plain evil in deliberately targeting civilians and trying to kill as many as possible, but Israel's response is not that much better, because while they don't deliberately target civilians, they certainly don't seem to care enough about Palestinian civilians to make a serious effort to avoid killing them.

The whole thing just seems to be a never-ending war on people.

I'm sorry you're in the middle of it. I'm sorry so many others have to live in this hell. And I'm sorry I have no solution. I have no idea what can possibly be done to end this; both sides seem determine to continue killing each other until everybody is dead. It's awful.

And the reason I only respond now is because this is the first time you show up in my feed. I have no idea who you are, but I wish you and everybody else in Israel and Palestine the best. Or at least something better than the current mess.
