I happened to listen to an interview with David Grossman on an Israeli radio station, Galei Tzahal I think, in the days following Oct 7. It was very moving to hear what seemed to be anger at what had happened, and pessimism at what’s to come. His quiet passionate voice is unforgettable. Thank you for your piece, I hope David Grossman reads it too, he’d enjoy it.

I feel there is a connection between the strength of Samson and the IDF being sent eyeless, thanks to crazed messianics, into Gaza, to (perhaps) bring it down and bring down Israel in the process.....

We loved your conversation with Ramona Koval....and want more of your views on life.

After reading today piece I sat there thinking about story presented, the current narrative of the glorious simplicity of life with Rocky. Then, deeper thoughts came to me of the exploits of Samson and David. I will look up David Grossman and the interview with Ramona Koval. Love it.
