(from an e-mail I sent to a friend in the States)
Thanks for your kind words. Close friends of mine live in Haifa and this is a heartbreaking weekend. They are one neighborhood removed from the front line, and the feeling is that of insecurity and lack of shelter, in addtion to the country-wide grief for loss of life and nature. Many Israelis are also concerned as they come to terms with the broader causes of this crisis -- they now feel the effect of the blatant misconduct of the civil service, and of the age long disregard for the basic infrastructure of this country; these not just bear on our quality of life here, but literally condemn people to death.
