Violent speeches

Asian limes in Jerusalem

And incredible start to the week as whirlwind affairs just kept blowing in. Israeli bombs Syria as more missiles land in the Golan. Far-right rabbis praise the jewish criminals who burnt the arab baby and father alive, and justifies attacks even on israeli police and soldiers who stop them. http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Far-right-rabbinical-group-pens-letter-calling-Jewish-terror-suspects-praiseworthy-413167  We see now a growing rabbinical legitimisation of violence against non-jews (meaning also jews who don't meet their standards) ... a very worrying sign that these extremists jews and rabbis are soon taking over Israeli society because the govt. and police are afraid of them. 7 arabs who threw stones at jews last week were arrested and charged ... but the killers of the arab baby and his father, or those who burnt the Church of 5 Loaves and 2 Fish a month ago have not been caught. In fact not a single suspect has been arrested and charged since the vandalism of the Last Supper Room and burning of the Latrun Monastery church doors 5 years ago.

Newly reorganised library

Police instead arrest an arab for transporting chickens, presumably, into Israel.  http://www.jpost.com/page.aspx?pageid=7&articleid=413083  There is a ruling that forbids food or livestock from being brought into Israel from arab areas like Bethlehem. I thought it might be a move to prevent diseases like MERS and SARS ... but the law includes cooked food. So now I'm not sure why.

I managed to find asian limes for sale in Jerusalem!!!! After all these years ... at the Filipino grocery store. They're seedless but the tangy juice is what I need. I've been suffering from diarrhoea and severe cramps for 4 days now. And many other people in town are also affected by this. Must be a gastro-intestinal virus. The MC sisters are also suffering from this, and so are several priests and lay people. The thought of food makes me vomit. I can only drink chocolate milk and lime juice. And that should give me the energy to finish re-organising the 40,000 books in the libraries.
