Posted on | November 28, 2008 | No Comments
Finally Friday. Blessed Weekend. Cried yesterday, watching the news and this morning, reading the paper. Makes it difficult to think of peace when 125, at least, killed in terror attack in India and hundreds more injured. Especially India. The place on earth where I found quiet and quite a lot of myself when traveled there six years ago. So do almost everyone I know. A two years old baby, Mose-Tzvi, who’s Hasidic (ultra orthodox jews) parents run kind of a home providing Jewish environment for Israelis that wish to feel at home, is all over the news. They managed to get him out of the “Jewish house” where his parents, brothers and sisters and other Israelis (about 6 people) are still held hostage. What do we do with that one? And what do we do with the explosive issue of the rights of the Bedouins in the Negev desert area in the south of Israel,on their land? Just a day before yesterday, a documentary on TV quoted a Bedouin man saying: “your conflict with the Palestinians is a piece of cake (he actually said “a children game”, which is the figure of speech in Hebrew) compared to the disaster you’re going to have with your Bedouin citizens. This weekend I probably won’t figure out what to do with all of our national and international problems. Maybe next week. Shabbat Shalom (“good Sabbath” or “peace sabbath”) in the meantime. salam.
