War

I've been meaning to blog this whole week, but ever since the rockets started hitting Nahariya and then Haifa I have been left a bit stunned to post on silly little observations like the fact that I don't like Angelina Jolie very much.
Family and dear friends are being attacked and all I can do is watch on the television. It might be strange but I really want to be in Israel right now. I've been having really bad dreams which I know sound a little dramatic since I'm out of harm's way.
Last night I was speaking to friends of mine who question Israel's right to exist, who claim Al Queda are acting out of self defense. The conversation left me feeling drained. I felt like there was really no point in discussing something that is close to my heart. I felt like I was viewed like the "crazy girl who defends Israel no matter what" and I really like to believe their didn't matter to me, but when you have people you love and respect look at you as if you are completely nuts it does something to you.
Anyway, Israellycool has been doing a good job covering the up to minute events. And if you speak Russian one of my closest friends, Polya, is writing about here experience living in Haifa. I thought this was an interesting take on the conflict with Lebanon.
II meant to also convey how sad it makes me that innocent civilians are dying in Lebanon, however I do think the IDF is doing the right thing. And if it wasn't for Hazbollah's cowardly actions of launching rockets from small villages and towns the the casualties would be much smaller. Also I want write a big Fuck You to Putin. There I said it, I feel better.
