Israelis are often said to wear their hearts on their sleeves, a testament to the warmth and compassion that define the spirit of this nation.
You rarely, if ever, hear someone say, "I was in Israel or met Israelis, and they were so cold and heartless." This simply isn't the essence of the Israeli people.
Since October 7, our hearts have been shattering on a daily basis, yet, in the midst of this turmoil, the true essence of our national character shines even brighter. And no matter how much money and effort is invested in slandering Israel and Israelis, you cannot convince anyone who has been to Israel or met Israelis that they are anything we are accused by haters of being.
Israelis are a people of passion and compassion, instinctively reaching out to help each other and strangers without a second thought. In times of danger, our unity becomes our strength, and crisis seems only to fuel our creativity and drive to work harder.
What puzzles me, though, is the lack of this spirit on the other side. Where are the stories of compassion towards an Israeli woman, a child, or even an animal from them? Discussions on peace, the desire to live harmoniously, and the aspiration to prosper seem conspicuously absent from their narrative.
Despite my critiques of my country, my pride in our collective heart remains unwavering. Our ability to unite in adversity, to extend a helping hand without hesitation, and to continue striving for a better future even when faced with unimaginable challenges speaks volumes of who we are.
The Israeli heart is not just about surviving; it's about thriving with empathy, unity, and an unbreakable resolve.
This is the story of Israel and the Jewish people, a nation that, despite its small size, has an immense heart that beats with hope, resilience, and an enduring love for life.

It’s always the little things you do that I notice. The way you look at the moon. The way your eyes light up and your lips turn upwards when you see me. The little notes you leave around the house. How you always have fresh flowers on the table. And the small acts of kindness you do for people and animals. All those little things make me love you more each day.
