Sorry I have been a bit out of it. Just read your last nights posts too.
Pls stay safe!
And our thoughts are with you all despite living so far.
Have a safe and happy Shabbos.
I listen to the radio, and I hate the music!!!
Are they trying to get us all to commit suicide by listening to depressing music?
In all seriousness - we need them to cheer us up - the tough-man status here in Israel will not last long if everyone keeps trying to get us depressed.
On a lighter note: Last night I was watching channel 10 news, and Inon Magal was interviewing an Israeli in Tzfat. He inquired as to whether the fellow would be sleeping in the bomb shelter, and the fellow said, "Me? Bomb shelter? No way!"
Inon pressed on, and said, "But isn't it safer to be in a safe area that katyushas can't penetrate?"
The fellow said "It's OK - I have this tree here" - and he pointed to a palm tree.
I burst out laughing at the sheer Israeli chutzpa.
2 minutes later Inon had convinced him that it would be a good idea to sleep indoors, in the bomb shelter.
The gut instinct of a lot of Israelis is - "Me, show fear? Never!" - but it is quite amusing at times.
As the Rambam puts it - a gibbor is not an idiot who constantly puts his life in danger and miraculously escapes. You have to know when to show bravado and when to sleep in the bomb shelter.
Shabbat Shalom, may it be a tranquil and peaceful one.
Jameel,
Why aren't they bombing the source of the katyusha rockets in souther lebanon? Are they mobile? Are they not destroying them to give opportunity for Israel to hit Lebanon harder for release of the soldiers when these rockets still fall in norther Israel?
JH: The IDF is not reacting with it's full might, and are still restrained by the government.
Napalm, for example, would do the job very quickly.
As our civilian casulties rate rises by the hour, it's not immoral to consider that option. (And we didn't start this war either)
This is so frightening, when o when is Moshiach coming?
JH: I don't know if your hebrew is up to par - but here's an article that explains it all.

Rock of Galilee knows your phone number???
and how do you get this real time information? and does that mean you are tied down to your computer?
rafi, you're not part of the blogger's telephone network?
Rafi G: I should be washing the floors for shabbat but instead I'm blogging on and off.
And yes, Rock knows my number ;-)
In terms of where I get all my updates from; I can't go into all of that now...many varied sources. This was the first time Rock called me instead of me SMSing him...(about a real time news update)
hey rock! good to see you online :)
I just finished sponja.. I guess you have to join hatzalla and first response units to get a petur from that today...
no, not a part of the network.. I also was not invited to that big jblogosphere meeting (protocols of the bloggers of zion) that happened a couple of weeks ago that Jameel crashed or something..
Hello Jameel,
Just looked up the names of the captured soldiers and thought your readers (and their shul gabbays) might be interested:
Eldad Regev is Eldad ben Tovah.
Ehud Goldwasser is Ehud ben Malka. (for some reason, today's Haaretz njewspaper gives his name as Ohad but Arutz 7 and nrg have Ehud)
and Gilad Shalit is Gilad ben Aviva.
Shabbat shalom

They need to carpet bomb the areas these rockets are coming from. I love the smell of Napalm Shabbos morning.
be strong
be safe
aim well
take care
what about keeping the non-kidnapped in your prayers:
also keep in mind:
rock of the galilee.
Just thought youd want to know that while the typical response to all this by the world is that Israel should stop the force, the political right here in the US is very much supporting Israel and they understand the nature of the enemy we are dealing with. I don't know what else to say except stay strong, hope you have a great shabbos, and hopefully this will all be over soon....
rock -that would be rockofgalilee ben what?
just rock of the galilee is fine. (there's only one of us and God knows who it is quite well)
Rock: OK - we'll keep you in mind too :)
Keep up the good work
