This is a video of a boycott of Israel going on in France.
Anti-Semitism is EVERYWHERE. Anti-Israel sentiment is EVERYWHERE. These instances prove why advocacy groups like the JIDF are so important- we need to be louder than those that hate us if we want to end these feelings.
My friend Naomi brought my attention to another worthy organization,
Stand With Us. Check out their website.
Lehit homies.

just wow.
Read this survey about the opinion of American Jews and Israel and please let me know if this is all some sick joke to make me mad.

Who does the world hate more, America or Israel?
Very interesting CNN article about "haters of America" and, seriously, buddy, you wanna worry about Israel and nuking America? Hmm...
Thoughts?

hire me, I need money to move to israel!
Ok first an observation- everyone seems to want to hire someone with experience- so then how did all these people get that first job to get the experience to hire someone? I just want to be a hostess or wait tables, and I have a brain (I think) that I use (sometimes), isn't that enough? If anything I'm OVER qualified, I just don't have any experience.
Anyways.... I started hebrew ulpan last night! שלום! מה נשמע? הכול בסדר פא Shalom! Ma nishma? Hakol bseder. Hi, whats up? Everythings ok here. Ayyyyyyyyyy (thinking of it like the Fonzi "ayyyyy.") I'm learning! I really just want to know hebrew. But its the first real step I can take right now for my move- I don't want to contact the aliyah agencies too early.
Its funny how much living in israel remains on my mind throughout the day and its been a good two months since I've been back. But I'm not surprised at the same time because I've been constantly reminding myself why I want to do it.
One of the biggest things I think about is what I'm going to miss about America when I move. Most of its pretty dumb- material or food related. Bacon. My eagles. Starbucks skinny vanilla lattes. Manicures and pedicures.
All material things- pathetic on my part, but such is life. But I kind of laugh when I think about, because it's not that I'll miss them. I'll miss them, but at the same time, I want to move to Israel enough that I don't so much care about those things. Its more important that I follow this really strange and inexplicable desire to move there and make what I can of it. I can replace crack I mean skinny vanilla lattes with regular ones, right? Watch I move and start drinking black coffee. That'd make life easier.
I think its time to snuggle with Baxter and get a manicure and pedicure. להתראות! see ya lata.
