the holidays here seems endless this year.  I, for one, have no patience for them.  Even though we had a wonderful holiday dinner with the family, there were no stars in the sky, and no sense of celebration. I guess seeing Netanyahu speak at the UN was the final downer.  i mean i agreed with every point he made, knowing he left out the points about his enormous errors in judgement which caused great suffering to his own people.  But our reasons for despising him are not related to what he did to the Gazan people.  They are more about how his mistakes allowed the Gazans to carry out the worst massacre since the Holocaust.  That massacre, and the massacre that promised to come, to destroy every one of the residents of Israel, was ameliorated only because of the people of Israel.
