Retweeting as a thread:
Mr. President, You are right, unlike you, I am always respectful -- especially when I talk to the President of the United States at the request of a U.S. Senator in your party. I try to be respectful even with people I disagree with.

My summer reading list is topped by Naomi Kehati Bronner’s new book: “On the Wings of Eagles.” bit.ly/4vAvajz It’s the extraordinary story of how her mother was married to her uncle in Yemen at age 10, how they found their way to Israel in 1949. Her mother worked as house cleaner, who never learned to read. Her father a janitor. Their daughter, Naomi is a clinical psychologist. The history of Arab Jews who came to Israel in one family!

Just started reading Dr. Shoshan Haran’s gripping book ``Mission in Captivity.’’ bit.ly/4vtCmy1 It will make a great play one day. It’s the story of how Hamas gunmen on October 7, 2023, killed her husband, sister, and brother-in-law in Kibbutz Be’eri. Then they kidnapped Haran into Gaza with her daughter, two grandchildren, sister in-law and niece. For 50 days, ten people -- six hostages and four captors -- lived together in a tiny, sealed room. Oh my, what they learned about each other.
