This past Sunday, a woman named Racheli Fraenkel gave one of the most remarkable and moving pleas ever delivered by an anxious mother.
In remarks that spanned just 90 seconds, Fraenkel, whose 16-year-old son Naphtali was one of the three Israeli teens kidnapped last week by Palestinian terrorists, exemplified the virtuousness and inner strength of the entire Jewish people.
"I came out to say thank you," she began, before graciously praising others for their help and support. There were no words of anger or rage, no hatred or calls for revenge. Indeed, from the outset, this woman, who had surely just been through the worst 48 hours of her life, immediately focused attention on others, making sure to offer them thanks and encouragement, as if she was not the one in need of such reassurance.
No one would have faulted Frankel for screaming, breaking down in tears or hurling accusations. No one would have condemned her for criticizing the powers-that-be, demanding action and blasting a world indifferent to Jewish suffering.
But in a steady and composed manner, this loving Jewish mother voiced appreciation for the "waves of prayer and support" and "positive energy" she and her family had received from a sympathetic public.
"Please pray with us," she asked, as tears began to well up in her eyes.
"They were just boys on their way home from school," she pointed out, before concluding on a poignant note of optimism. "We'll hug them soon," Frankel vowed, adding, "G0D willing, we will be able to celebrate their return safely."

My outrage meter has pegged out...

99% of my Jewish friends are Israelis. American Jews for the most part are flaming idiots.
Even in Israel they are usually quite left on many social matters. They have government funded abortions for all, for instance.
True

On the positive side this kidnapping will serve as a warning to all Israelis..... Don’t get sucked into Muzzzzlim hell by kidnapping and lose 6 years of your life in a Hamas prison cage
That’s how long it takes to get released if at all
BTW the Israelis should kidnap the families of Palestinian leaders. Kidnap a hundred of them
Kidnapping has been a Muzzzzlim war tactic ever since Muhhamed the first Jihadist psycho killer
