I’ve been in Israel for a week and my emotions are, as always when I’m here, a complete mess — a samatocha, if you will, and even if you won’t. I’m up, I’m down, I hate it, I love it, a whirlpool, constantly returning to wherever I was just a few minutes before, the very [...]

I’m going home.
Right – so I’m off to Israel! In like /checks clock/ half an hour! Yikes! So, obviously, I didn’t manage to post yesterday, and this won’t really be much — but I wanted to leave a few links up, in case people came here looking for my usual Israel/Palestine rantings and/or ravings. I may post [...]

Hello I must be going! + A call to anti-DADT arms.
The week began with a single, solitary book review on my professional plate — and wham! By late Monday morning, it was jam-packed with a book review, plus not one, not two, not even three, but four projects for the PR firm for which I often write. As a constantly scrambling freelancer, I’m loathe to [...]

The truth is out there. Or possibly right here.
For reasons that I can’t quite pull together, I’ve been thinking an awful lot recently about humans and our interactions with Earth’s other creatures. Mostly I’ve been thinking about how stupid we are. No, no, let me rephrase: Mostly I’ve been thinking about how far we have to go in actually understanding what the hell [...]

Good stuff: Delete delete delete.
At various intervals in my busy day, I worked on a post that I hoped to put up by 3:00, by 5:30, by 8:00, before I went to bed. Then at about 9:30 I just trashed the whole thing. It wasn’t that it was a terrible post — it’s just that it wasn’t a very [...]

LGBT people – a revelation.
You know, I don’t usually do this sort of thing, but this here is a post for my straight readers. If you happen to be LGB and/or T, you can feel free to wander off to other parts of the Internet. Go on, you crazy kids! I’ll wait. Ok, are they gone? Right, then. I [...]

The loss of strangers – Veterans Day, 2010
Two humbling facts crept into my consciousness this morning. The first came as I listened to NPR and heard the reading of a fallen US soldier’s letter — I assumed, from the lyrical tone, that the letter-writer was from an earlier age. I assumed he had been killed in the Second World War. Upon learning [...]

On Israel and the endless slap in America’s face.
I often feel that I am absolutely out of words on Israel/Palestine. Out. Finished. Done. The well is dry, and the bucket has a hole. But sweet baby Moses in the bulrushes, if Israel/Palestine doesn’t keep doing the same ol’ do, forcing me to search around in my bag for a little more verbiage. Woe, [...]

Israel, settlments, & the Administration – tell them what you think.
I have income-earning, committed-to work today, work that is both time-consuming and demanding, so this is just a placeholder post, asking that if you support a two-state peace in Israel/Palestine, you call your President, your Secretary of State and your representatives in Congress and tell them that. From HaAretz: The U.S. State Department said it [...]
