Another HOMICIDE BOMBING in Tel-Aviv

I am again horrified and disgusted by the sub-human perpetrators of this heinous atrocity. Another sub-human exploded himself and 9 other ordinary people in a popular and crowded fast-food felafel stand in the city of Tel-Aviv, and wounded (read: mutilated with severe pain) approximately 100 others. This is the reason I call it a 'homocide' rather than the accepted term 'suicide' bombing. This person committed an act of homicide. Which is not the same thing as killing civilians in the course of defending yourself, as Israel does.

Does Israel target civilians? Let me put it another way: Does Israel set its sights on restaurants, schools, buses or playgrounds when it retaliates? Does it ever take the offensive that way? Not on your life!

Tell me, do you want to live next to the type of culture which perpetrates these acts?? Would you feel safe living near a sick culture which glorifies death?? When was the last time you got on a bus and had a panic attack worrying if the guy in the next seat had an explosive belt strapped to his waist, and was just waiting for the right moment to blow himself (and YOU) up?

This is a SICK kind of enemy. With an enemy such as this, you don't reason and you don't negotiate - because you can't! You KILL THEM FIRST, BEFORE THEY KILL YOU. Israel is NOT doing that nearly enough. It is not showing the Arabs that you DON'T MESS WITH ISRAEL, AND YOU DON'T MESS WITH JEWS. This is what is wrong with Israel today; it is too concerned about what the world will think; too politically correct. Whatever happened to the term 'Never Again!' ?? What about what the great Hillel said: Im aiyn ani li, mi li?? What in the world should we do now - wait for someone to approve our destroying the enemy before they destroy us? Or doesn't it say in Torah, "u'viarta ha-rah mi-kirbecha" ??

The Great Debate: Is it Itsy Bitsy, or Inky Dinky, of Spider Fame?

Image
For the better part of a year, I've had an on-again, off-again debate with my D.H. as to the "correct" adjective in the children's finger-play nursery rhyme, "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider" (now you know which one I favor). My D. H. insists that the correct descriptive is "inky dinky," whereas I demur.  I vaguely recollect from my own childhood, either hearing " itsy-bitsy spider ," or even more familiar to me, the description "eency-weency," referring to said spider's miniscule size, yet plucky persistance, and how he (she?) braved the violent rainstorm which "washed it out" after the arduous climb up the water spout, yet doggedly climbed the spout again, after the sun came out and 'dried up all the rain.' Many, if not most of our American nursery rhymes originated on the other side of the pond, in England, for obvious reasons: the American colonists were British in origin, and brought with them the culture an

The End. Is there a Beginning...?

This is my first post back on Tikkun Olam since April 23rd, 2015. It does not feel real. Why is it that we never think we will ever have a JOLT in our lives that will change the entire life course we have been traveling? We continue on, day by day, complacent, even in the face of serious illness--believing that what we are living is the only reality; that it is immutable, that it is PHYSICAL: you can touch it, feel it, and it will continue to be there for you tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow... But it isn't. And it won't.  Because the unthinkable can, and does, happen, in time. To everybody. As it happened to me, almost a year ago, on August 10, 2015, when my DH - Dear Husband, of 46 years, died. I am living in an Alternate Universe. Because the universe in which I was living all my life until now, is gone. I still want to slap myself in the face and wake myself up. It's a dream. A terrible nightmare.  It's a horror movie with a frightening ending, but I will

Some Recent Israeli Accomplishments in her 67 Years: Independence Day 2015

Image
An update to Waze which might nip kidnappings in the bud, a possible cure for Alzheimer's, and water management methods California surely can use - just to mention three, on the occasion of Israel's 67th Independence Day celebrations: Lighting the (Independence Day) Torch of the Future of the World. (What a country; what a people!) Dr. Marta Weinstock-Rosin who invented the memory-improving drug Exelon speaks up about a possible future without Alzheimer's. A short excerpt about Dr. Weinstock-Rosin, below.  In many ways, Exelon, and its inventor, paved new paths in Israeli medicine, and Israeli society. Weinstock-Rosin, who is Orthodox, was born in Vienna and fled with her family to Britain in 1939, narrowly escaping from the Nazis. She came to Israel with her family in 1969, and became a professor at Hebrew University in 1981. In 1983, she became head of the Pharmacology department at the Hebrew University (now part of the Institute for Drug Research) in the Fa
