Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), is currently experienced by well over 1/3 of the Israeli population:
The social health programs run by the government are not meeting the need. Not even close. 90% of people who were present at the site of a missile attack have not even sought mental health assistance.
And yet, 38% of the people are suffering one or more symptom of PTSD. The poll was conducted among Arab as well as Hebrew Israelis.
Shlomo Mantzur escaped Baghdad at age 15 when the Iraqi people conducted a pogrom. Their Nazi-style government had collapsed, so the people took matters into their own hands, brutally killing and injuring many people simply because they were Jewish.
Jews had ties to the city of Baghdad dating back a thousand years. And yet there are people today who say (1) Jews have no connection to the seed of Abraham, and they also say (2) Israelis are all Europeans, when in fact, the majority of Israel’s current population comes from the Middle East nations such as Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, and so forth. Below is an example of this special type of antisemite who denies the legitimacy of the Hebrew people:
What a clown, who thinks that all Israelis emigrated from Europe; who does not know that Gaza has an ancient synagogue dated to 508 AD; would anyone claim that in 508 AD, the Hebrews that build this synagogue had no link to Abraham? Seriously?

Two photos above on the far right, a poll shows that almost two thirds of Israelis support Trump’s plan to relocate Gazans while the Strip is rebuilt. Only 6% think there is a better solution (perhaps 1% for each of 6 different options) and only 10% think that solution is immoral.
Israelis continue to suffer greatly and will continue for many years as a result of this unprovoked attack on Oct 7. Israelis are now aware that Gazan children, women, and men were involved in capturing, torturing, murdering, and holding innocent Israelis as Prisoners of War (POWs) in their own apartments and homes.
Six Israeli bodies found in tunnel under Gaza
Israelis are aware that the majority of Gazans support Hamas 100%. A percentage of Arabs in Samaria and Judea also support Hamas.
But as for the Gazans, Israeli already offered them a mini-state in 2007 when Israel uprooted all the Hebrew towns there. Gazans turned the place into a giant launching pad with a network of attack tunnels. 65% of Israelis who participated in the poll now feel that enough is enough, the experiment has failed, and it’s time to try something new for Gaza. No workable solution has been proposed other than President Trump’s. Belatedly, after Trump’s threat, Egypt has just now offered to help rebuild Gaza. This after Egypt allowed tunnels which armed Gaza while blocking Gazan civilians from seeking refuge in Egypt? Too little, too late, Egypt: https://JTOD.org/egypt-refused-all-gazan-refugees/
As for Jordan, who just had a meeting with President Trump in Washington, they have only agreed to take in two thousand sick Gazan children. But at least that’s a start.
