How often have we heard this phrase or something similar?
“Sorry to hear [insert name here] has died/passed away, but he/she had a good innings ”
Recently I had a comment (expression of sympathy) re losing paw in November which went on to say “ but as he must have been one of the early transplant patients, he did well......” etc etc
He wasn’t actually, and despite an “extra” 20 years’ “reprieve” it doesn’t lessen the impact (or indeed the fact that for me, his death is premature ) . ?
Somehow it bothers me and I will be more careful about what I say myself in future.
The majority of Israeli Jews do not want to occupy Gaza.
