Still sick

I'm just so exhausted. No energy at all. Can't eat due to the severe diarrhea and nausea. Wish I could just go to my Jaffa community and sleep there the whole day with no class or work to do. I need to get away.

Well this lousy feeling is on a bigger scale throughout the country today. Israel's alleged bombing of Syria yesterday is drawing tensions in the streets ... everyone is afraid a war may start in the north soon. But frankly I don't think it'll happen. Israel would be too foolish to draw Syria into a war right now as Israel needs Assad more than a new Islamic govt. at its borders. Some reports say that Israel fired the missiles in order to force America to make a move, knowing full well that Syria is in no position to start a war right now.

On the homefront there's been a series of tit-for-tat attacks between jewish settlers and arabs. It's been tense at the borders. And we hear there were problems in the Holy Sepulchre on Saturday between the orthodox as well. There were hundreds of soldiers marching out of Jaffa Gate after the "Holy Fire" "descended".

If you have any patience, watch the Youtube below on the Holy Fire. It actually is passed out from the Tomb at about 38.00
