Tag Meir activists visited the Abu Khdeir familys mourning tent to convey a message of solidarity, but the atmosphere was uneasy.
It was probably the largest group that came to the mourning tent of the Abu Khdeir family, on the seam between Beit Hanina and Shuafat neighborhoods of Jerusalem. The size of the contingent was most likely unexpected, considering that the 350 men and women who arrived by seven buses were all Jewish Israelis, the majority from various religious streams. The visit was organized by Tag Meir, an organization created about two-and-a-half years ago by Gadi Gvaryahu, an agronomist consultant from Rehovot, in reaction to the heinous contents of the Torat Hamelech book and its ideology, written by Yitzhak Shapira, a rabbi from the Yitzhar settlement.
The book, which authorizes killing of gentiles, including children, for the sake of Israel, gave Gvaryahu a terrible shock. Then came the nasty graffiti on mosque walls, and even arson. Since then, Gvaryahu and the growing number of Tag Meir activists visit each mosque, church or location where there is a price tag attack, bearing a different Jewish message.

Despite the ongoing rocket fire by Gaza terrorists, Israel has not halted the entry of trucks into Gaza and on Thursday, some 200 trucks carrying food and basic supplies entered Gaza. The government said that the trucks were allowed to pass through for humanitarian purposes, and were inspected and found not to be carrying any items or equipment that could be used to attack Israel.
The trucks are said to be carrying a greater than normal supply of food, officials said. According to sources, the IDF and DEFENSE Ministry officials urged the government's Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, Yoav Mordechai, to allow an increased amount of supplies into Gaza, so that residents would have enough to eat in case the IDF begins a ground assault against Hamas.
The trucks enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, which is often targeted by Gaza terrorists for missile attacks. The workers at the crossing are all Israeli, and have been given special safety instructions by the Home Front Command, officials said. It should be noted that one of the terror tunnels destroyed by the IDF several days ago was located right next to the Crossing.

Baskin was heavily involved in freeing Gilad Shalit.
He tried convincing Hamas (Meshaal) to stop. He blames Hamas and acknowledges Netanyahu tried to avoid escalation & had no choice....
