On Friday we went for a walk, and I had the feeling that Covid was walking along beside me.  Breathless on every incline, yet overwhelmed by the beauty of the greenery, the narcissus, the migrating birds.  Ezi took many pictures, but I had to concentrate on walking.  Today I took a covid test, but it looks like I’ve just got a bad cold.  Whatever it is, I spent most of sunny yesterday at home on zoom, staying away from others, trying to avoid harming others.  

And all the while I was thinking of the question of innocence and guilt.

Who is innocent and who is guilty and what is guilt – we are fighting on all our borders and in the sea, and we’re considered the agressors.  Nasrallah talks about nuking us, people are getting killed from the north to the south, east and west, and it’s our fault.  The hostages who have been freed tell that they were guarded by armed children, and we are blamed for children as collateral damage.  have a look:

This kind of preparation for war has been going on for decades and yet we constantly worry about harming children.   These children have been turned into Manchurian Candidates.
