Not proud to be Israeli today, quite ashamed of the accusations against Moshe Katzav, shocked about the deal he had with the General Attorney.
Unbelievable. Wait, it actually is.

So I am at home, recovering as they say.
Its nice to be at home. I realize it was wise to move to this flat, I like it a lot, it feels home. Last night had a long conversation realizing how many flats I made into a home in the past 4 years, four flats turned into a home.
I cannot concentrate for long, I can watch lazy films, do some reading, still not able to read anything clever or write,it will come back to me they say.
I discovered I made quite a lot of friends, and luckily, they know how to cool, thanks to them I have what to eat, shame I am not that hungry.
Friends are coming for London, they are all around. trying to meet up with them.
So you see, I am getting better. Soon my brain will function again, I might have something interesting to say.
Untill then: goodbye.

Back from hospital
1. How come nurses have their name tags on display, and Doctors don`t?
2. Why on earth was I receiving food for Geriatrics for 5 days? I was born in the 70`s, not the 30`s.
3. The younger the doctors are, the nicer and kinder you will find them. What`s the lesson? Does the more you get to know the human body the less you appreciate the human soul? or does the fat salary changes your psyche?
4. If the idea of you (or me in this case) staying in the hospital is for you (or me) to get more rest, why do the nurses wake you/me at 6:30 AM.
5. Pain and Brain do rhyme. And it does have implication on their semantics.
like: pain killers are brain killer. fact.

Handing in a big piece of work to day,its 12 poems I wrote.
I am giving a presntation today about an academic topic. Analazing a novel that was published in Hebrew in 1986, Grass Roots by Roth Almog, checking the Historiographics, analazing everything that happened that year. In the society and litrature.
As far as I am concered I was in 6th grade and I had a terrfic role in the school play, My grandfather died and bat mitzva was very small, besides that, It was a good year 1986, For me at least.

I decided not to take a private surgeon, I even didn`t check the cost. I guess its me rebelling against the power of money, an illness Israel is covered by. If you have money you can by a prime minister, you can buy football teams, you can get medicine to cure your cancer, privately. You can decided to close down supermarkets (check Gaidamak), you can get the best surgeon.
I will get the same services as the other person in the near by bed. I just hope she is getting good care. very good care, for free.

Few weeks ago went to a hotel for Shabbat with a group of friends, or to be accrute, friends of friends. All lovely people, English Speaking. I didnt preform any social skills that Shabbat: I was quite, very slow and sensetive. Towards the end I started warming up, caatting with people. you know, being friendly.
There is a gain, and a pain. I was asked twice if I am Irish. Yeup.

So its eight days before the operation. I went to the hospital today, to get some papers my Kupat Holim (NHS)needs, no idea why they cannot fax or email it themselves, why on earth would they want to put someone as irresponsible as me in the middle. Of course I got there without the right papers. and its 36 degrees out.
The bright side:
1. It helped being there, it is becoming real, and therefore less scary.
2. I dont need to get the monthly injection. less pain, my gain.
3. I didnt have change so the nice guy let me out withput paying for parking.
4. There is a little mall there, with lots of cafes and fresh juices, and a health store. All sorted now.
5. S is flying in, with lots of mags, sorted.
So its getting better, I can even write about it in my blog. I guess its part of including it in my life. not something to hide or to be ashamed of, its just part of life.

Sometines I feel something. I carry an emotion, I am in a mental state, and it has no name.
Its quite how I feel now. the only thing that comes to mind is Graceland.
Thats how I feel today. Graceland. How on earth Paul Simon knows How I feel?
I wonder.
The mississippi delta was shining
Like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
Im going to graceland
Graceland
In memphis tennessee
Im going to graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But Ive reason to believe
We both will be received
In graceland
She comes back to tell me shes gone
As if I didnt know that
As if I didnt know my own bed
As if Id never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees youre blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
Im going to graceland
Memphis tennessee
Im going to graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to graceland
And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
Im looking at ghosts and empties
But Ive reason to believe
We all will be received
In graceland
There is a girl in new york city
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when Im falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means were bouncing into graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees youre blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
In graceland, in graceland
Im going to graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
Theres some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe theres no obligations now
Maybe Ive a reason to believe
We all will be received
In graceland

Its my house warming party tonight. It means a lot to me. Its more my finally landing party, and also 18 days before my operation it is my way of saying, Hi, who ever is responsible for whats going on, probably G-d Almighty himself, look that`s how I am. Happy, with many friends,able to work to study to progress, capable to throw a wild party, (as wild as a geek like me can be), surly if I can do this I can fully recover, right?
(I do realise its more proving to myself. Not to no one else).
Its also about finding my place, in a practical way - new flat where I want to live, and also in an inner way. being happier with who I am, accepting my flaws, celebrating what I am proud of.

from Haaretz regarding UK Acedemic boycott
I usually try not to read Haaretz - I would read its litrature and culture supplement, I will flick through it on the internet. Its far from my views. Not tghis morning though...
Battle for Britain
By Haaretz Editorial
Britain has become in recent years the battlefield in Israel's fight for its existence as a Jewish state.
The number of British organizations calling for the boycott of Israel, their public campaigns, and their constant comparisons between Israel and the apartheid regime of South Africa have made the battle for British public opinion particularly significant.
On Wednesday, representatives of the new British University and College Union (UCU) will be meeting in Bournemouth. On the agenda is another proposal to boycott Israel's academic institutions. These proposals have become as regular and as predictable as Qassam attacks on Sderot. The fact that studies at the Sapir Academic College in Sderot are not taking place because of the constant rocket fire from Gaza, even though the college is not in occupied territory and Gaza is no longer occupied, apparently does not bother British academia. The fact that Hamas, which controls the Palestinian Authority, does not recognize even pre-1967 Israel, and commits acts of terror against civilians, does not matter either. These nuances did not stop one boycott initiator from saying last week that justice in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is entirely on one side.
In the face of boycott proposals by Britain's National Union of Journalists, by a group of British doctors and a group of architects, and in the wake of the Anglican Church's decision to divest from companies cooperating with Israel, even the Israeli left - which opposes the occupation and has been working against it for years - has no choice but to fight back. Taking off the gloves in this debate involves knowingly foregoing the kudos that British academia lavishes on all who are willing to express anti-Israel stands. The UCU has even had the termerity to proclaim that Israeli lecturers who disown the policies of the Israeli government will not be boycotted. It is British academics who should lose sleep over this McCarthyistic demand. Academic freedom means first of all an open exchange of opinions, without coercion, and not shutting people's mouths. Moreover, the British boycott is directed at Israel's academic institutions that in any case are a bastion of opposition to the occupation.
On the 40th anniversary of the Six-Day War, British academia should look realistically at peace efforts in the Middle East: Over the past decade, Israel has elected governments that have expressed the desire of a majority of Israelis for a bilateral solution of two states for two peoples and a withdrawal from most of the settlements. The withdrawal from Gaza was to have been the first stage. The victory of Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel, cut off the process.
The anti-Zionist winds blowing in Europe, mainly in academia and in Britain, strengthen the position that the very birth of the Jewish state was a mistake. The European hard left regards the Law of Return as the root of all evil; however, without acknowledging the Jewish character of the State of Israel, there is not even a basis for dialogue. British academia is in fact demanding that Israel democratically cease to exist as a Zionist entity, and that it be swallowed up in the non-democratic region in order to pander to the latest trend
