We were on our way to the theater when we realized we were too sick to sit in an audience and went home to bed.  That was when Bibi announced his firing of Gallant.  

An amazing move – to take away the attention from the news this morning that Bibi hired people to steal military secrets to doctor and release to foreign presses.  It must have been a long time in the planning.  The wild card to pull out for when Gallant sent induction notices to Haredim.  The purpose – to keep the Haredim in the government so that his coalition doesn’t fall.       

The kids called while we were in bed to ask us to join the protest – we were already in bed and ready to sleep.  No way we could go out.  Trying to sleep all I could picture was a man tarred and feathered and driven out of town.  

Gallant has been the connection of Israel to the U.S., the only one that could tell the truth, and it can well cause Iran to rethink the milder form of revenge they had planned.

And now I’m going to try to go back to sleep. As soon as I erase that tar and feather image from my mind.
