Chai: Tel Aviv (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1579526-Chai-Tel-Aviv I am going to be leaving WdC, because is expensive for me (because shekels are not so good as U.S. dollars) and I am really only using the blog. You can still follow me if you want to, at this: [Link: 'http://noaeliyahu.wordpress.com/'] Is all the same . I really like WdC, and I will come back to read other blogs. I promise!

You know, because life is short? And I like the Sephardi men. They look like Arabs, they talk like Jews...and they're really, really, really good...for romance . If my mother knew... Shabbat shalom! L'Chaim!...[Read Full Post] Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:05:21 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/693410 I hate the deportation orders for the West Bank. Is doing nothing for peace. I want all this fighting, all this controversy, all of this animosity to just end, you know? Because now I am on the boardwalk, and I have falafel and a fruit juice and good conversation and this is the Israel I want. I want this, without knowing that my brother is fighting n...[Read Full Post] Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:26:54 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/693178 The firm demand to sustain an independent Jewish state, one that holds its security in its own hands while at the same time tirelessly seeking peace as well as the demand to treat threats of annihilation, Holocaust denials, and terror mongering with the utmost severity. - Shimon Peres Almighty G-d, remember the six million people that were gass...[Read Full Post] Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:23:10 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/692964 I am considering moving to New York for my graduate school a year from this Fall. It would be out of comfort zone, away from my family, and in another country, but I think I need a change. I think also I need to learn the opinions of others, and be able to learn not to think like an Israeli. And there are so many Jews in New York that I would not feel like I was al...[Read Full Post] Sat, 03 Apr 2010 16:31:19 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/692166 Two IDF soldiers were killed . Baruch dayan emet. Always makes me very sad to hear this, because, as a former soldier, I know what it means to be afraid while on duty. Mostly our fears go unrecognized, but, as this shows, sometimes they come true. Border control is the hardest sort of job, because all terrorists must, at some point, pas...[Read Full Post] Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:29:38 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/691439 The talks are not going well between President Obama and Bibi Netanyahu. Is not good news. Is a conservative trying to talk with someone more liberal. Still, there is hope for at least agreeing to disagree on some policies. America, I would like to say mazel tov for passing your health care bill! I have heard much criticism from Americans at sc...[Read Full Post] Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:33:18 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/691222 Just bought a really cool shirt. Is blue, and in write print says PEACE and then shalom in Hebrew script and then salaam in Arabic script. I like it very much . I have talked also with my friend Suzana from Germany. She says I can come visit in the summer any time with friends, if I am wanting still to take a vacation out of Israel.

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:28:59 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/690671 So, besides the American-Israeli relationship on the rocks ("Oi vey!"), there is good news! The Palestinians appear to be as creative as ever, going so far as to paint themselves blue like the alien characters in that movie Avatar, comparing the occupation to that of the human presence in the planet featured in the film. Meanwhile, they continue to a...[Read Full Post] Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:04:35 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/690331
