With Israel still reeling from yesterday's horror show and the continuing situation, many of us find ourselves in utter despair. I am still trying to collect my thoughts, but in the meantime I am heartened to see many celebrities with huge followings come out in unequivocal support of Israel.
For some, it is their first time speaking out, such is the nature of the red lines crossed by the palestinian Arabs. For others, we have seen their support before.
Don't get me wrong: their public displays of support won't bring back any of our dead and captured, but it somehow makes us feel less alone and can hopefully make an impact when it comes to influencing those who may have been on the fence about the conflict.
Besides, I am hoping this post will somehow make things a bit easier for my kids to cope with events.
Here is a list of the celebrities who have spoken up or otherwise indicated they stand with us (with thanks-but-no-thanks to a vile Twitter user who compiled some of the list as a way to boycott the celebrities):
I will be updating the list as more come to light:

Those who value human life must unite how terrorists and dictators support each other. Russia and Iran sponsor & commit the mass slaughter of civilians. In Ukraine, in Israel. It's not enough to condemn, their targets must be defended and ability to kill deterred and destroyed.

Sending love and support to all my Jewish friends today, and to the innocent victims of the Hamas attacks in Israel. If you have a Jewish family member, colleague or friend, maybe give them a call today and let them know you’re thinking of them, they’ll need it.
