Rest

More chaos in Jerusalem - this time it's feuding Palestinian families shooting at each other. One dead, others injured. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1246443717729&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

And if you still don't know - Jews believe in reincarnation of souls. The great rabbi taught yesterday that those Jews killed during the holocausts were reincarnated souls who sinned in the past. "It goes without saying that we believe in reincarnation," continued Yosef. "It is a reincarnation of those souls. Our teacher The Ari said that there are no new souls in our generation…all the souls were once in the world and have returned." http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1246443718416&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Now you understand why the gospels speak of Elijah born as John the Baptist; or others who thought that Jesus was John the Baptist reincarnated. It's not a new idea.

And I just love this piece of self-criticism - it is exactly as it says. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1097404.html But it hasn't said anything about Israelis who fly economy but insist on putting their handluggage in business class cabins, or using business class toilets, and even sitting in business class seats when an empty seat is available.

Meanwhile I'm resting my feet - bigtime swollen.
