.Yesterday we read 1 Samuel 4- the defeat of the israelites with more than 10, 000 men lost and the arc lost to the Philistines. It’s a good reminder that we don’t always win, and we shouldn’t risk everything we have because we think we’re right.
And on Temple Mount today the men were chanting “Khaibar, Khaibar, ya yahud,” a reminder of the ‘battle’ of 628 when the Moslem army slaughtered a community of Jews in an oasis in khaibar.
see? I’m still here. I just haven’t figured out how to fix the graphics. Just hang on a bit. I spent the entire day chatting with bots who screwed everything up worse and now I’m back to where I was – a mess. but I feel like I’m getting closer to finding the line in the configuration that will make everything okay again. not great, but okay. The real bummer was when the guy screwed everything up and the site went down, he said the server has to be paid 50 bucks to restore it to its original messed-up condition. After some haggling or maybe a different bott taking over, the site was restored to its messed-up state.
Because I’ve been trying to escape from reality with birthday celebrations, I haven’t gone crazy that my site has suddenly become impossible and if I try to follow the advice of the server the site goes down. I am also not going to a demonstration tonight. The two things are connected – Just like my repeated pleas to the server bring me back to my beginning of my journey, my repeated pleas to the government get me into the same mess I’ve been in from the beginning. We just encourage Sinwar to rape and torture those hostages a little more, to kill some more, to starve his people a little more. which just makes the rest of the world hate us a little more…
But don’t worry – I’ll find a way out of the computer cycle and be back on line with a perfect site soon.
It is a wonder, but even someone like me can figure out the system, it just takes much more time than with normal people. So we should be back with a comfortable blog soon. Stay with me and hold my hand.
i only now discovered an email of mine – with all kinds of wonderful letters. Don’t use it until i figure out where it comes from. So sorry. For the time being : gut22@tauex.tau.ac.il
And while Baruch is working behind the scenes to help me restore my site, I must confess that after all we’ve been through, getting hacked is not the worst thing in the world. Especially in the light of what the future looks like for us. It’s almost my birthday and I’m happy to grow older. First, because of the fact that my world is a dangerous place, second because I really know more now about what’s important than I knew a year ago, and third because in the middle of this incredible mess I’ve got a good life and I appreciate it.
But Woke isn’t going away, my friends say, and even though their entire reasoning is based on fundamental ignorance, their actions will have terrible consequences for the next generation. for the world.
Forgive me for pontificating – it’s my birthday so I am evaluating my life and the future of my grandchildren after me.
