The most important fact about the refusal of air force pilots and other reservists in the army here is that they will not simply follow orders, that they will oppose any order that does not seem to them moral or ethical. Underline that fact. It can be dangerous to them or even to the country but it is the way that should have been followed in World War II.

Our afternoon and evening were perfectly planned – After a visit with our newly-widowed invalid brother-in-law, we’d grab a cake and celebrate our grandson’s birthday. But the country is going to be filled with protests and we won’t be able to go anywhere. So we’ll visit our neighbors – 2 of them are planning to vote for the reform on Sunday. Who knows? – we still have a chance to help them wake up.
this is the last step in stopping the avalanche – just quit the knesset. walk out.

We participate in this government by sticking with it. We’ve got to quit now. share this with everyone. Get Ganz, Lapid, everybody – to walk out of that shit show.

“Would you be interested in meeting some friends at the port at Michmoret?” I ask Ezi. “Sure,” he says, “I’ve never seen it…. and my father built it.” This happens to me all the time — we go somewhere and Ezi uncovers some important fact about the family. And Michmoret is such a gorgeous place. This is where Ezi’s father, who was in a deep depression after his father died in 1948, rebuilt himself by donating the port. Somehow I felt his presence there.

I admit it. I didn’t demonstrate today. I wasn’t among the hundreds of thousands of people waving flags all over the country.
I got scared. Me and my metal hips – what are we going to do when some horse steps on us, or even when a fellow protester steps back and jostles us?
Yes, it’s getting really violent and I’m a bit too fragile to endanger myself.
I feel like I’m waving to you from the Titanic, but I don’t know how to stop the ship from sinking.
Maybe tomorrow when the enemy attack against us finally comes, we’ll come together, but I have a feeling that these guys are the same ones who killed themselves on Massada.

We should be out on the streets already, but because I’ve been exhibiting some of the symptoms that brought our prime minister to the hospital the other day, the doctor has recommended that I spend my time taking my meds and keeping away from the hospital. Even though the weather is becoming bearable. So I won’t be wearing my grandmother needs democracy shirt until the sun goes down.
And it isn’t really that far away to walk to join in. I may not be able to keep away.

Where else could we escape to on the day before the enormous ineffective protests shut down the country? A bright beautiful Sufi college in Ba’aka Al Gharbia. I highly recommend it for its cheerful atmosphere and positive attitude.
Then we had a wonderful lunch with the Muassi family and managed to avoid complaining too much about our situation.
So we’re ready for tomorrow.
I would really like to help them set up their intensive Arabic course for Israeli women.
