At last SOMEBODY is saying what I’ve been worrying about for a year: Yahya Sinwar’s aims in rejecting and amending Biden’s hostage deal – The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com) 

He doesn’t want to settle.  He’s relying on world pressure to get rid of us.  That’s why he’s sacrificed 30 thousand Gazans.

That part has been obvious, but what I didn’t realize is that I’m really stressed by this situation.  Last night I flipped out over a crazy neighbor, and only a walk on the beach could ease my mind.  Today we went to the Land of Israel Museum and wandered into an exhibit meant to calm us down – an asan moment.

It’s a good exhibit but I was infuriated, and it took me a while to realize that my anger stemmed from something familiar.  You know how someone tells you to ‘calm down’ when you thought you were calm and that instruction makes you angry?  Well, that exhibit made me realize how justifiably stressed I am.  As long as all the world believes the lies they’re planting – we’re trapped.  

I’ve been reading the New York Times for ages, but only recently has the news about Israel become so slanted that even I have noticed it.  Check it out.  Check out HaAretz or Times of Israel and see if there is any connection at all.  You’ll see that we seem to be publishing both sides, but the NYT only discusses negative elements.  Maybe some complaints might help.  But it really grieves me that my former favorite paper has betrayed me.
