Russia's invasion of Ukraine is shocking and everyone here is shocked. There are thousands of ukrainian jews there who did not want to migrate to Israel last week though Israel encouraged them. Now Israel will have to find ways to save them ... they were told to escape toward Poland. The ukrainian president himself is a jew. Can Israel now trust Russia who has its grip in Syria? the repercussions in the Middle East is huge. We can only with anxiously to see the outcome. One thing seems to be everyone in the streets' opinion - neither europe or america will send troops in. It's all rhetoric and Russia will gets its way.
The sky seems to reflect the mood. Dark and gloomy and finally now drizzling. And the temp dropped quite alot ... about 8 degrees below yesterday's.
Israel announced Covid state of emergency will end on March 1st. So everything will be back to normal ... almost. The virus is still around. We just have to live with it. That means unvaccinated and vulnerable people like me still ought to wear masks and keep a safe distance from crowds. Self-imposed rules are the best.
