Hello Desk, have you met my Head?

I suppose it's a good thing I'm so self absorbed in feeling, well, basically content that I feel I have nothing to write about.

Though reading and watching the News makes me want to pull my hairs out by the roots!

I don't get it, really I don't.

My government is just stupid. Plain and simple. Sending off Darfurian refugees back to Egypt who are much more likely to send them back to Sudan, right into the hands of the leadership that supplies the Janjaweed with the weapons and legitimacy to massacre them.

Israel is obsessed with the Holocaust, and while the Holocaust has to be remembered and recognized for what it was, it should also inculcate a regard for humanity and all that very nice Yoko-and-Lennon-y things.

Yeah, well, we know it hasn't.

We're so obsessed in feeling "secure" we forget to see the people that suffer at the hand of our security. It's not black and white, obviously, but to chuck out people out a country who sought refuge from killers who regard them as sub-human, or not human at all, well shouldn't that trigger some kind of reaction?
Add to that the basic disregard the majority of Israeli society to the fact that the Darfurinas refugees were tossed out on their ears.
As though the majority of Israeli society regards anyone other than a Jewish Israeli a human being.

Ach.

And I was really trying to be optimistic this week.
