I don't think I will ever stop being tired. I feel relieved though. I am glad to have it over with, and it went well. After the exam I stopped by at the grocery store. Can anyone tell me why foreigners always seem extremely worried about whether the "meat & fish is salted"? Like, who cares? Anyway, I'm gonna sleep for half a day now, and then start reading for my next exam, so later! http://hatshepsut.blogdrive.com/comments?id=489 http://hatshepsut.blogdrive.com/archive/488.html Sat, 30 Apr 2005 01:12:02 GMT The nerve of Russian President Putin has me too appalled to be able to remain silent. To visit Israel and while on his visit indirectly announce that he will do pretty much everything in his power to help the enemies of Israel destroy it? Putin: 'I will send helicopters' For first time since al-Aqsa Intifada, head of state visits PA; Russian president warmly welcomed in Ramallah, says he will help Abbas fight terror By Ali Waked P{margin:0;} UL{margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;margin-right: 16; padding-right:0;} OL{margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;margin-right: 32;...

While I am not a member and have paid no attention to their work, I have always been aware of their existence. The newsletter I received (much to my surprise) caused me to visit their website. While the "Icelandic Zionists" have a somewhat different approach from me in the sense that their emphasis on Christianity is obvious, I am certainly impressed to see how this website (as was their excellent newsletter) is informative, useful and clearly created by someone who knows and truly...

You guessed it, exam period has started. So until May 6th (along with an essay deadline set for the 17th), I shall not be blogging much (unless I'll be slacking, but considering the tight schedual I certainly hope I won't). I...

Also I see that fellow bloggers are doing such an excellent job (as usual, except for David Treppenwitz though, he's slacking!) describing current events. But I did want to mention one thing that crossed my mind while reading Gilly's blog. I have never met Gilly, but I am very well aware of the fact that he is born and bred in London, and according to David Treppenwitz (who has met him), he sounds like "a narrator for the BBC". Now...

This time they are from Southern Tel Aviv. As usual, her photos give me mixed feelings of familiarity, nostalgia and pleasure, along simply being utterly charming. http://hatshepsut.blogdrive.com/comments?id=484 http://hatshepsut.blogdrive.com/archive/483.html Sat, 23 Apr 2005 22:15:44 GMT The news of how the Brits have now banned Israeli universities, hardly come as a great surprise. But it is just as unpleasant, nevertheless. The matter is certainly of highly personal interest to myself, as someone hoping to start MA studies in Israel next year. It seems like if I do pursue graduate studies in Israel, I need to keep in mind that my education might stand and fall with the world's "attitude" towards Israel. Brits ban Israeli universities British academicians claim Haifa University censors criticism of Israel’s policies in territories, Bar-Ilan boycotted because it...
