I’ve been cold since we arrived in the US and I haven’t been able to warm up properly.  I’ve tested negative three times but am more and more wiped out, even though I’m coughing less and less.  Every time I try to write in these pages I seem to lose my focus.  Can it be also because every day what I read about Israel disappoints me more and more?   I don’t know if it’s a question of distorted news or a distorted lens.  But when I’m in Israel I seem to feel more informed and more forgiving as a result.  From here it doesn’t look so good and the press much less informed.
