Today went so fast.... Worked all day without a break. But that's ok. Tonight Stephane and I will go out for dinner in Tel Aviv with Brigitte and Doron. I am thinking that I should make a reservation because the nice places are always fully booked here. And, since our friends never leave home without their adorable little dog (Sushi), we need to find a place that accepts dogs. Speaking of which I am amazed at the amount of dogs in Tel Aviv. I have a hard time understanding how people manage keeping dogs in their house. Appartments are not very large here and in the summer months it gets really hot.... Many stray cats as well in Tel Aviv. But this has always been the case. I remember being a little girl coming to visit my aunt in Tel Aviv and being very scared of all these cats. I might hurt some of my readers... but I still am not very fond of these animals.... Especially those stray ones... They look like they will jump at you at any moment... Brrr...
However, what really scares me is the growing antisemitism in Europe. I keep thinking of all the people asking me if I was not afraid of going to live in Israel. My answer was then already that as a jew I feel much safer here in Tel Aviv than in any city in Europe. Now three months later it only got worse! My sister had to take her son out of school last Friday because of threats (he goes to a jewish school). Stephane's brother had to run hard not to be attacked on the street in Paris simply because he was wearing a kippa. This makes me very sad. And angry. Angry at the world's ignorance and unwillingness to understand. It is so easy to draw conclusions from a few pictures seen on the news. News programs that are more interested in ratings than in reporting the facts. Stop. These pages are about me going back to my roots and sharing my new experiences with you. Not about politics or about who's right or wrong. I just urge you not to judge before really studying the facts. Thank you.
Brigitte & Doron. We ate together at "Goocha", a seafood restaurant at the corner of Dizengoff & Ben Gurion. They serve you excellent food but under much too much noise! Actually the accoustic is bad. Nevertheless we had a really nice evening. We fled from the noise and had coffee and desert at "Segafredo", you know, where I usually work....
