Hear husband’s cousins in Tel Aviv are trying to keep what’s happening from their 2 young girls. Imagine your own 4-year old hearing rocket fire. Imagine your 1-year old who cries at thunder. Heart hurts.

British friend posts a cartoon on FB purporting to be history of the region. Extremely one-sided and includes fallacy that Jews weren’t already living in Israel before its founding. Try to argue with her but know she’ll go back to not caring one bit about the area as soon as it’s out of the news so why bother. Don’t mention how deeply insulted you are about her casual belief that Israel shouldn’t exist.

Remember living in Britain and how it was the bizarro-world of Israeli news.
