floating off the map

yitkadal v’yitkadash sh’mai raba…

my reaction to the gruesome news (missiles, gaza – more of the same) is remarkably detached.

to the 10 (more by now? the horror) blasphemed corpses i dedicate one modest post and what compassion i can summon.

[...continued after a long argument with my father during which i vainly swiped my little paw...]

i do not oppose the idf but its reluctance to live up to its name. without a steadfast army, israel would likely crumble. but why, why after weeks devoid of violence, has a “defense” force attacked civilians?
an “accident?” both times? unlikely, i think.
