I asked the guy at the grocery what he thinks of the political situation. Now he’s always incredibly positive and careful to help and not trouble any of his customers. That’s why we all love the grocery even though it’s much more expensive than a supermarket. Always optimistic. But his answer was the same one everyone else gives. “It’s troubling.” No one really believes Bennet is a leader, no one believes he’s mature, worldly, sophisticated. And our lives depend on his maturity, wisdom, sophistication, and delicacy. If he just knew Arabic I’d be a little less uneasy.

And yet, the possibility of the return of Bibi and his ruffians terrifies me even more.
