Spent four weeks star-Reporter Marina Klimchuk in Israel and the West Bank since October 7th, experienced humanity, but also a climate of unforgiveness. A personal conclusion.
New York City on a Friday afternoon in November. A wealthy Jewish neighborhood. Basya leans against the window sill at dusk. She quickly types on her phone. She has to hurry. As soon as Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, arrives, according to religious law, she is no longer allowed to use her cell phone. My girlfriend Basya is an Orthodox Jew. A call, a final voice message to Hassan. Then, at the last moment, a short conversation with a diplomat who suddenly got in touch. At some point she puts the phone down and looks at me angrily. “How can this all be?” she shouts at me.
