There is lots of information (and disinformation) in the news regarding the current war. I’ll stick to the good news:
- Rice is returning tomorrow to the middle east. Maybe this time it’s for real.
- There are reports about negotiations between Israel and the Hizbullah about a prisoner exchange deal.
- Bush and Blair urge a ceasefire and support sending an international force to southern Lebanon.
- Reports on Israeli TV say that PM Olmert is considering handing in the Shaba farms to Lebanon. This could be a step towards a deal.
On the other hand, there a few other minor issues like calling 3 divisions of reservists, a long range missile hitting Afula this evening for the first time (where is next?), bombardment of Lebanon and the continuation of the firefights in Bint Jbeil. But lets disregard it this weekend.
When I’ve been to Nepal, last year, I made some friends during the trek in the Himalayas. We kept traveling together, until the last possible moment. When everyone returned home, we spoke a few times over the phone, but never managed to meet. Everyone was busy with his life, and the geographical difference made it not so convenient to get together. They live in Haifa. Now they are refugees in Tel Aviv and we’ll probably get together. Who said war was so bad?
I hope that next week (beginning on Sunday here) will see good news…
