The thing I love the most about Jewish law is its respect for life. From what Ive seen, there are barely ANY Jewish laws that cannot be broken if it would preserve life. It's like all their laws have an asterisk after that reads "unless it would save a life".

You forgot my favorite fact. They made the initial measurements with Israelis and expected to fit 800 odd people in the plane but, and I quote "Because the passengers were so light, many more were squeezed in." Also my mother happened to work as a flight attendant at the time and saw small chairs being crammed into a cargo plane and was wondering why the heck were they doing it. (Eventually they didn't need the chairs and just crammed everyone in)

Over 4000 Ethiopian Jews died on their journey from Ethiopia, due to hunger, murder, exhaustion, and more. Today, here in Israel, we remember those brave souls who had only one dream - to get to Jerusalem. I don't know if you uploaded this video on this date on purpose, but anyway, it is very appropriate. And we insist that everyone understands that it was not only a great effort from the Israeli government, but even moreso a brave and fearless journey that the Ethiopian Jews chose to lead, mostly because of their zionism, and not because of the political situation in Ethiopia.
