So, a quick update on life...Pretty great, personally that is. We are both doing really well, a few weeks ago we went to a lovely cabin up North for the weekend and next weeks we will go to the desert for some hiking and camping and a stop at the Dead Sea on the way home, so we have been doing some fun stuff lately.

Tonight is the first night of Pesach, my favorite holiday on the Jewish calendar, and one of the times when I get most homesick for the real Seders that we used to have at home. Here they run through it to get to dinner, always a shame for me. Amy, we will have to do this next time we see each other, and even though it may not be on Pesach, it will be just as fun and spiritual as we will do it right!

Things have been interesting here in Israel. Due to overwhelming anti-Israel sentiments and anti-Semitism in the world, especially during our last war, as well having to deal with non-stop terrorism (for which we are always the bad guys, I really dont get it) the Israeli population voted right wing for these elections. Now our Prime Minister is a rat that we had about 10 years ago and failed miserably, our Foreign Minister is a fascist...no joke, Idan and I also call him a ben zonah (son of a @#$%^). He strongly believes in transferring the Arabs out of Israel and is just an absloutely evil man (just look in his eyes).

Anyhoo, out of this mess came yet another sign of Israeli resilience, which I will share with you now. Here, we laugh at our problems, sometimes going a bit overboard, but I guess its a defense mechanism...below is the link to a hilarious song that one of our comedy shows wrote to the rest of the world about getting attacked by rockets ans the non-stop targetting of Israeli citizens by the terrorists. I have translated whatever is in Hebrew, and hope you are able to see the humor in this as we do. Idan and I have watched this numerous times, always cracking up from it, so enjoy. As a sarcastic song, they pretend to have terrible English and play on every stereotype out there, so don't take too much offense, cuz we are all bashed in it :)

It's called "someone throws on you Til" by Xplain (rocket): http://www.mako.co.il/tv-erez-nehederet/fd82c9a2478a8110/Article-f85dd0df440de11004.htm

How would you feel if someone throws on you TIL (Rocket)
This is not what we built the Jewish State for לא בשביל זה בנינו בית יהודי

Our army is the most moral in the world, at least in the five most moral of all (armies), we can close on the the most moral in the region...הכי מוסרי בעולםאו לפחות בין החמישה המוסריים מכולםטוב אולי אפשר לסגורעל הכי מוסרי באזור

They throw on us TILIM (Rockets),

But remember who started shooting on EZRACHIM (Citizens)

How do you feel if in London they shoot on EZRACHIM (Citizens)
You want LASHUT (to sail) in the TEMZA (Thames river) but instead they shoot on EZRACHIM (Citizens)

If you ask why we fight,we say:They started

It's so hard when there is TZEVA ADOM (the color RED, ie, sirens for an incoming rocket attack)We have to house citizens from the South (in the North)לארח תושבות מהדרום
They walk naked in the house, they are so MISKENOT (unfortunate- here it is specifically relating to girls- and at that, pretty women)
Because a Grud missile fell on their clothing closet גראד פגע להן בחדר ארונות

You support us or we take Benayun from Liverpool (A major Israeli soccer player in England)
And we tell Noa Tishbi to take back BETIPUL (the Israeli created tv show, In Treatment)
We take Bar Refaeli, נשאיר את ליאו בלי כלוםand we'll leave Leo with nothing

We will remind you what it was like in the Cold War Europe
"Fire Brothers, Fire (the DJ in the background)"שריפה אחים שריפה
I think the point is clear...
