Shabbat Shalom - the view from my veranda

Journalists write "knowingly" on the situation in Israel without ever living here; without first hand knowledge of what it means to live in this tiny country in the midst of a rather unfriendly neighbourhood. I write without vengeance, without hatred, just what I experience,the view from my veranda and the thoughts in my head. My archive is available at www.lingomatics.com/Shabbatshalom/index.html
