  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was murdered by Hamas terrorists and whose body was recovered from Gaza last week, approved the publication of footage filmed by Hamas as part of its psychological terror campaign.

“This must serve as an immediate wake-up call to the world, to act today to secure the release of the remaining 101 hostages before it is too late. No other family should go through what our family went through,” Goldberg-Polin's parents, Jon and Rachel, told the media.

They are currently still observing the traditional Jewish mourning period after the death of a family member called shiva, which immediately follows the funeral.
