I am a Christian, and I love Israel and the Jewish people. When I lived in Cuba, I went to school with a lot of Jewish children. As of today, I keep in touch with most of them and I will always cherish our friendship. Also, when I came to the USA, the best jobs, treatment and friendships has been given to me by Jewish people, friends, bosses, companies, etc. I cry with you when you are attacked and will admire you until I die. I am always praying for all of you. I love you and will always admire all of you!!
God be with you.
