Full moon

Full moon over the city wall

 The moon is full and shining brightly tonight ... but it's chilly. Yesterday was a hot 28 degrees and suddenly today it dropped to below 15 degrees. Everyone is getting sick because of the strange weather fluctuations. If this keeps up, I'll have to go for my flu shot. 

Israel raided the palestinian village of Jenin this morning, killing 6 arabs. The US backed this violence by supporting Israel's right to kill. That's american democracy. Then Israel ups its defense all around the city in fear of revenge attacks ... today being the feast of Purim. And Ramadan is in 2 weeks time so lots of muslims are coming into the city to pray. It's tense. Very tense. Meantime clashes between jewish settlers and arabs in the town of Hawara where settlers burned 30 houses last week. 

I was back at the hospital today. The results are not optimistic. I was given more medication. My hands and feet still swell and my chest pains are not going away.
