Well, Led Zeppelin would say “Rock N’ Roll” but I’ll settle for “written on my blog”. No it’s not because there is an all out war in Israel, and certainly not because I do not care about my readers, just been a bit busy, life takes you by surprise when you least expect it, you know what they say.
Another reason I was absent for a while is the lack of sensations lately, no riots, no one is threatening anyone, and it seems too peaceful for the middle east, the end of days perhaps? Time will tell
in any case, the national morale is rising, economy is improving significantly and people on the streets are smiling again after the long period of economic darkness the world experienced, but is that all there is to it? Talking to Israelis, who are well adjusted to such peaceful periods being followed by a period of chaos and uncertainty you will learn that althoug everything seems well, we are planning for the worst. Maybe it’s a Jewish thing, but we are not really used to not being persecuted or threatened at least once a week.
Juts the other day I opened my radio and when they didn’t say anything about some foreign politician condemning Israel for something, I thought the radio was broken, I cannot remember a time when Israel was not condemned for something, anything, selling too orange oranges to other countries, buying too much soda, taking a too long afternoon nap on weekends – anything.
Sarcasm aside, I really do feel, like many of my countrymen, something is “going down” something is boiling underneath awaiting to erupt, I just hope we will have the power to contain it when it does.
Cheers and have a great weekend.
