Thank you! And the garbage that continues to be regurgitated out there no in attempts to make this a Jew versus Christian battle is repulsive. Why are these people claiming faith and then full of such hate and anger? It is disheartening at times…

Leah – I waited until today to read this when I could give it my full attention. What a wonderful affirmation of Mr. Weinstein's work – and yours!

You are so right, just the fact that MRFF was even nominated, says so much! It is an absolute endorsement of how important this fight is, and this is a spark of understanding…

This is good news! I am delighted!
It is unlikely that anyone in the US will garner the Nobel Peace Prize in the coming year, but it is very encouraging that MRFF has been nominated.
This is welcome attention. It gives MRFF and the problems it addresses a wider audience.
MSNBC, are you running with this? Hope springs eternal….
Unfortunately, too many in our country do not know much, if anything, about the history of the Nobel Peace Prize. In the past few weeks I explained the inventor Alfred Nobel and the reasons for this legacy to nearly everyone with whom I came in contact.
Once again, ignorance is not bliss. We will just have to try to keep plugging… and plugging… the holes in others' knowledge.
The reward? Every once in a while we may find a way to spark some glimmer of comprehension, of something other than what they have been told all their lives. That is what makes it all worthwhile.
