Dear friends in the 2000 Partnership - U.S.A.,

Being born in Afula almost 68 years ago to a pair of "Chalutsim", i.e. pioneers, I feel myself as a proud Jew in my country! We were going through the years, difficulties and terror- since I remember myself. Two gunmen, near the central bus station, stroked us again last week. 3 people were killed and many others seriously wounded ! These terror acts will not break us and I'm sure that with your support we'll overcome this terrible wave.
