An Unplanned Break

Well, unfortunately, I find myself needing to take a break. It has nothing to do with iPeace whatsoever, has more to do with a mental fuse I have blown this week, probably a result of a few years worth of stresses.



I just don't have any energy left to write too much, and as you may have noticed, I can't write just 2 sentences, I gotta fill a page or none at all... in any case, I can't do much right now beside work on re-wiring my head.



Regardless of what happens, I hope… Continue

Globes

Ok so I'm back :)



I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the makers of the film "Waltz with Bashir" on their Golden Globe win last night. This is an amazing film, and the legitimacy it has gotten locally and worldwide is, in my view, a hopeful testament to the growing transition of Israel from a militarist society to a civilian society and the mounting wish to make wars a thing of our past.



I urge anyone who can to go see… Continue

Response to David and the members of iPeace

Last night, after a long day away from the computer, I opened my mailbox to find it bursting with interesting things - first, David's public referal, with compliments, to one of my blog posts. Second, lots of apparent comments. When I opened the post to see the comments, I discovered it had disappeared. Today I learnt it had been removed, the first blog post ever to be removed from iPeace, what an honour. I started writing a response to David privately and then ran out of room; and since the… Continue

Life in Spite of Everything

One of the best, if not the best, sites of alternative media I have ever seen:

Gaza Sderot: Life in Spite of Everything



In days like this, that project expresses exactly the type of attitude that needs to prevail - a wide view of many people from both sides of the border, who are suffering, and how their daily lives are. It does not point fingers at one or the other, just tells their stories like it is. Amazing, and - what makes it such a good… Continue

No, Gaza is not Auschwitz



An interesting blog post I read and translated from hebrew. I may not agree with every word she says here, I think she may have a few points a bit off, but on the other hand she makes some other interesting and relevant points. I would, though, have corrected "the people of Gaza" in some places to "Hamas".
