tel Aviv is amazing – 7.4.24

We killed a very high up Hizballah guy yesterday – at least Hizballah and I think it was us who did it – and the retribution is massive.  

But we went to Tel Aviv for ice cream, and the crowds were so thick we could barely get through the street and were happy to get to the queue for Iyal Shani’s latest creations.  Cassata is the name of the place and they have the best ice cream ever.  Strong, unique tastes,  All of us agreed that our choices were the best.

It took us a while to find it.  Many Tel Aviv restaurants don’t have signs because there is a tax on the sign.  But all of the neighborhood around herzl st. is crowded with amazing eateries and bars, and the people are amazing.  We kept running to really fine people – people who are very much in touch with reality and accept it in all its aspects.

innocence and guilt - 7.3.24

I was watching an interview with Roger Waters yesterday about “the filthy disgusting lies” the Israelis told about the violent massacre.  The interviewer stopped him to decry Waters’ lies and was answered with “there is no evidence.”  Since the Hamas and Nukba murderers filmed their own crimes, it’s clear that there is a great deal of evidence and no one has to rely on victims and witnesses.  Nevertheless, although Waters made light of his rape and murder denial, it feels to me like it is exactly parallel to the murder crimes themselves, aiding and abetting.

Maybe he should have paid attention to school about the difference between facts and opinions.

Prices - 6.2.24

 I took a taxi home from the hospital today – my first time in an incredibly long time.  The price was double what I paid last time.  On the other hand, the driver was a young man, quick, efficient, and silent. 

When I think of how expensive it was, I compare it to my visit to the hospital itself where within an hour I had all my tests – halter, blood test, stress tests, ultrasounds, etc. evaluated by the surgeon – and it all cost me nothing.  

What a joy to only pay for a taxi.

p.s. I’m fine

Who's on First - 7.1.24

I tell you, I’m more confused than Costello.

I mean I don’t know who is doing what or why.  Did the director of Shifa hospital really know about all the Hamas hiding there among the patients?  Is the reason he was let out  was that he was innocent?  Who was giving the commands for letting all the prisoners of war free?  Is there going to be a war?  Will our shelter take a direct hit? Will we survive this situation? No wonder we are confused.
