What can a writer do to be helpful during wartime?
Thats a question my guest, the internationally acclaimed israeli writer Edgar Carrett, asked himself after the Hamas invasion of Israel one year ago this week.
What he did was read to adults and to children who lived in the kibbutzim that were attacked.
He went to the front lines to see what he could do to help israeli soldiers.
But he doesnt support the war or the Netanyahu government or Hamas or Hezbollah.
