Israel here and there

Our Moishe House mate went to Taglit Birthright Israel on 29th December. She was afraid to make that decicion but after taking the advice from her parents and friends she finally took off. We are still worried about her so we decided to put in the schedule of january's events a special meeting to discuss the israeli situaton today. We invited some special guessts: a Rabbi, an graduate of Arab studies, an graduate of international affairs, a journalist, a lawyer, a pacifist, and an anarchist and all of our dear friends.

The introduction to our discuss was watching the interview with Ania Ciszewska- our Moishe House Mate on the nationwide Polish station. She was saying what young Jews in Diaspora are thinking about current situation. Here is the link, just copy it to your browser:

The discussion, as you can guess, was passionate. We acctually cannot say that it was fruitfull but it brought lots of new ways to look at the conflict.

Just after the meeting was going to an end we got the info that IDF land forces entered into the Gaza Teritory.
