Focused on Israel

The skies are gray in New Jersey. The leaves are brown, rain fell, we have no snow. My clients (thank you, thank you) are busy sending me work, and I’m not tempted to photograph much right now. When I do have time, I’m checking up on the news in Israel. Or on Twitter, to see what links are posted there. Mostly, I click on the ones related to Israel (and the ‘situation’ or ‘matzav’ as it’s known in Hebrew). I check certain blogs more often. In Facebook I see friends wondering “what is the best way to support Israel?”. A new website called Help Us Win has many suggestions.

Today a blog called Real Israel (the blog is new to me, just learned about this last week via Twitter) posted:

Why I Love Israel

I thank her for including my post on Art in Israel (often pics speak louder than words for me).

I just read on the Jerusalem Post that the Israelis are expected to wrap up the operations in Gaza in about a week or so. That will be a relief for many.

It will only be a relief if the job is done, Leora. If Hamas continues to throw rockets at our cities, Israel must continue to respond.
