Temperature's rising

More events in Jerusalem. The head of the "Women of the Wall" was arrested at the Wailing Wall for carrying a Torah Scroll. Apparently women are not allowed to read from a Torah scroll at the Wailing Wall, but she was only carrying it, not reading it. Tensions at the Wailing Wall.

A Libyan flotilla is trying to enter Gaza. Israeli navy is going to block it. Deja vu. Rising tensions along the coast.

Anti-Israel demonstrators delay 5 El Al flights from Athens. Tension at the airports.

Several Palestinian houses were demolished by Israeli authorities. Palestinians are furious. Tension in East Jerusalem.

When the temperatures are rising here, it's not just the thermometer. Politics and religion are boiling over this summer.

Across the world, I'm sure all of you read of the drunken Aussie who rode on a 5 meter saltwater crocodile and had his leg ripped by the reptile's teeth. Whatever next?

And in China, the mystery deaths in Yunnan have been solved ... people have been eating poison mushrooms.

With all these news, no wonder no one is getting a good night's sleep.
