Yosef and Hamzah AlZayadni, father and son, were abducted while working together in the cowshed of Kibbutz Holit. Yosef, aged 53, and Hamzah, aged 22, live in Rahat. Yosef is a father to 18 children and a grandfather to 22 grandchildren. Hamzah is married and is a father to two children that are eagerly awaiting their father and grandfather to come back home. Yoesf's brother, Ali, is leading a prolonged effort to ask for the release of his family members from Hamas captivity. Yosef's younger children, Bilal and Aaisha, were abducted together along with their father and brother and were released in the recent deal. The family was seperated in captivity, and only two members have returned home. Since then, the returning children struggle to sleep and carry on while their father and brother are still in captivity. Yosef is described by his family as a beloved person who always knows how to resolve conflicts in peaceful ways. He is cherished by many as a dedicated father and grandfather. His family takes special care of him due to his diabetes, as he requires daily medical treatment to maintain his health. Hamzah, at the young age of 22, is urged to return quickly to his wife and young children, back to the embrace of the family. The extended AlZayadni family has been torn apart. There is a void that can only be filled when the family father returns home with his beloved son. It is a void that we cannot allow to keep open. Bring them home now. #BringThemHomeNow

Twitter still feels like driving a Ford to me, a sophisticated device people I know like but still doesn’t feel right.

I think these types of jokes have a lot of educational potential. If implemented in the classroom, they may become a way for students to acquire new vocabulary by building strong associations with it."
