I could only stay for a short while at Etgar Keret’s lecture at the university today, because I had an appointment to get a heart monitor, and then a bunch of other medical stuff.  But in the brief time I could sit there he really did my heart good.  The idea that stuck most in my head was the idea that life now is like marvel comics, with the unexpected impossible happening all the time, and the fact that we spend  so much time watching the news it has become our entertainment now.  That’s why we’d rather have an entertainer who lies than a suber truth teller.  So obvious and so true.

He looked as if he could talk for hours – and i could have listened – but the parking garage under the health clinic where I was supposed to get the monitor is so crowded I knew it would take me an hour to park.  

So I listened to the news on the radio.  The Hague was accusing Netanyahu and Gallant of genocide and issuing a warrant for their arrest.  

That’s crazy. A marvel comic.  No way to prove their innocence.  So many lies buried in Gaza.  Even how many people were killed.  No records, no bodies, just announcements.  The truth doesn’t matter.

It’s a good story.
