Dear Client,
As we reflect on yesterday’s impactful pro-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., I’m reminded of the shared struggles many of us face due to displacement and conflict. My own family’s journey, which saw us leave Israel for Chile after a war in the 70s, and then flee Chile following Pinochet’s military coup, has deeply ingrained in me the personal toll of war and upheaval.
A Shared History of Displacement: This personal history resonates with many of you, our valued clients from Central and South America, who have similarly fled war, crime, and persecution. Our collective experiences of displacement forge a bond of empathy and understanding that transcends borders and backgrounds.
Empathizing with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: The recent tragic events in Israel, involving a terrorist attack and the displacement of countless individuals, mirror the challenges faced by my family and many others worldwide. The plight of Palestinians in Gaza, affected by the actions of Hamas, also reminds us of the complex, multi-sided nature of conflict.
A Rally of Shared Emotions and Hopes:The rally, especially the poignant speeches by women with relatives held as hostages in Gaza, brought to the surface emotions that many of us have experienced in our own journeys. Their courage and resilience echo our stories of loss, struggle, and hope.
Towards a United Future:Let’s use our experiences to foster a world of understanding and peace. We stand together not just for those in the Middle East but for everyone who has been touched by the ravages of conflict.
Your resilience and strength inspire our community every day, and I am proud to share this journey with you 🌟.
Warm regards,
Andres “Reflective” Mejer
