Back at work
Rogel @ November 26, 2007 # 3 Comments
Going back to work the day after arriving back from Israel is not the most fun thing I ever done. Trying to fight the hundreds of e-mails and many issues, which I completely ignored when vacationed, while fighting the jet-lag is making the usual Monday “back to work” mood even worse. The truth is that […]
Mid November’s weather

One of the small funs of being in the middle of November in Eilat, in what the hotel calls “on the water room”, is to check the weather at home and see this:
It looks much nicer here

Things that never change

Coming back to visit home after long time, it is somewhat reassuring to see that somethings never change: My mother wonderful cooking, The traffic jam at Raanana junction and the knowing that no meter what I’ll get lost driving in Jerusalem…

Customer “Service”
Rogel @ November 11, 2007 # 6 Comments
After two days of trying,unsuccessfully, to get some help from my mother’s ISP technical support I have to conclude that I live to long outside of Israel. It seems that customer service here is very well trained to get rid of the caller as fast as possible with the least satisfactory solution - most […]

Charlie Savage,The author of Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency, reviews at the Atlantic the accumulation of power by the executive branch and he is suggesting:
In 1944, Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson warned that each new assertion of executive power, once validated into precedent, lies about “like a loaded weapon ready for the hand […]
Distraction

Israel, and its foreign policy, are being criticized for variety of reasons. Sometime the critic is valid and justified, sometime it is honest but wrong and sometime it has questionable motives. But blaming Israel for Global Warming is, by far, the most original I encounter…
Well I guess Israel and the neighboring Arab countries have to settle […]
Why?
Rogel @ August 2, 2007 # No Comment Yet
For god sake, why should they have done that? And why the extra brutality?
Egyptian soldiers killed four Sudanese refugees, beating two to death in front of horrified Israeli soldiers, an Israeli TV station reported Thursday, screening what it said was army surveillance video and interviews with the soldiers.

Israeli soldiers were sent to the scene to […]
Good deed

In our next visit in Israel, when we will take our few relaxation days in Eilat we are going to stay in one of the Fattal chain hotels. We will do that not because the hotel we use to go to in the past isn’t good, it is an excellent hotel, or that we heard any recommendation on […]
Glimmer of hope

I stumbled upon a very interesting Blog written by a blogger from Lebanon. Reading this made me very hopeful:
Some things have changed tremendously. Today, there are no more portraits of Hafez. Or statues paying tribute to his dead son. No portraits of his ill-advised heir either. Not in Rafik Hariri International Airport. They smile and […]
