Jerusalem Day

Today is Jerusalem Day. That's when Israelis celebrate the taking of East Jerusalem and uniting it with Israeli controlled West Jerusalem. There'll probably be celebrtions and marches in the streets... and in the Old City... which will fan anger from the palestinians who see it as occupation of their land. The Palestinians will counter this with their own celebration of Nakbar Day (Day of anger). Let's just hope no violence will erupt.

Did you read about the huge earthquake in Indonesia a couple of days ago? It's coming to Israel one of these days. All the warning signs are there.
