Israeli politics is more like some comic episode than ever. Ultra-orthodox Housing and Construction Minister Ariel Atias wants to create a society where even religious Jews are segregated from secular ones - even more than what is already developing spontaneously. Then you can only imagine how he perceives the Arab citizens of Israel! Luckily he is one of an extreme minority that never will get these appalling suggestions passed, even though he is part of the government. No minister in any other Western democracy would stay in their seat after delivering such statements. Foreign Minister Lieberman is assisted on just about every matter by Barak and Peres and today he also said that he had deliberately chosen to avoid taking part in the debate over West Bank settlements, as his own residence in a settlement would pose a conflict of interest. Maybe since he is an Israeli, he should stop negotiating matters that relate to Israel all-in-all..? It would be a great relief for Israeli politics. On the other side of the fence Hamas' leader Haniyeh accuses Abbas and Fatha for spying in Gaza on Israel's account. No wonder we cannot get peace when the behaviour on both sides have sunk lower than sand box level...

Vegetables - Kids, 1 - 0
Kids are learning that the world does not spin around them and that food is more than white rice, schnitzel and pita. My beautiful man is so brave, determined and patient and I am helping out as far as I might with my sparse Hebrew. I guess they will be decent before going to the army...
