Meanwhile life from Israel
I just called with Tamar, to share some thoughts. And to check what is going on -check a former post on recent events-
According to her knowledge people near Gaza spent the weekend in their shelters because of Kassam-missiles coming out of Gaza.
In Jerusalem a man named Nuriel was kidnapped and killed. Pictures were released today.
In Israel, the Knesset is going crazy and Likud is fighting (Knesset is parliament, and Likud is the party of Sharon, who is by now not really supported by his party anymore...)
Israel is striking back, and it is striking hard.
Israel is on the verge of a huge political crisis.
As Tamar told me: I am so tired of it. So tired, I don't want to hear it anymore. I even close the TV to avoid it.
When one sees the picture of Nuriel, one can easily see the similarity of pictures out of Iraq and else where. The influence of Osama, although many Palestinians believe he is not doing anything good for their cause, is all over the place. He became the new symbol for resistance in the Arab world.
Hamas called for cease fire yesterday, but their members don't follow the orders from above, it is clear the head doesn't know about the tail, as Tamar said.
And Israel gets scared. They are afraid they are loosing control.
I wonder if they didn't anticipate to this. If they didn't prepare for such events.
Having lived over there, and having seen some of the institutions in Gaza and West Bank, this is not surprising to me.
Moreover: the Palestinian men in control over these things were killed or captured by Israeli.
So what's next?
Capturing all possible new leaders? -referring to the 300 people captured in the last 3 days...-

It seems like every person calling/coming from Israel has decided to dig a rift between their own thoughts and the political reality...More than 50 years of hopes and still nothing, Rabin's dead cold, the dove of peace as well... :-/
Peace, shalom and salaam for all....have a nice day, sweetie...
