And meanwhile in Israel - the teachers are on strike which means schools may not open (again). This has been going on for several years now and the tragic thing is it's the students who'll pay for it by not having a proper education. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1225036830701&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Now the PM is personally intervening http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1225199589426&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
