Rutland is roughly 5,500 miles from the fighting in the Gaza Strip, but Nadav Tamir wasn't fooled by the distance.
"I know most of you are concerned about what's going on in the Middle East," the Israeli consul general to New England told a gathering of about 30 people at the Rutland Jewish Center on Thursday morning. "Many of us are worried and confused. We have relatives in combat or in range of missiles and we've all been devastated by images of civilians suffering in Gaza." The head diplomat completed a two-day tour of the Green Mountain State on Thursday with a breakfast address in Rutland followed by a meeting with Gov. James Douglas in Montpelier.
