Plane of work

A word or two says that I am full of work, which probably means that should be doing the writing of the papers rather than the blogging à la procrastination. Everyone shoots ugly faces your way and there is much of the disappointment. Let's talk about a loss of social skills, a lack of having that which puts you in the forefront, let's talk about inferiority...does it Exist? I think the answer to this question is better put in exploring the date.

Today is the Fourth of Iyyar, which I thought to be Yom Hazikaron, and that would make tomorrow as Yom Ha'atzmaut. But this is completely contradicted by peoples who were essaying to tell me that Yom Ha'atzmaut was yesterday. I thought that the Fifth of Iyyar was Yom Ha'atzmaut because it is the date of the declaration of state-hood--even though the impending declaration of a new state had been announced as an even earlier in the week. Even if you go the by Gregorian Calendar, which states that Israel became a state of 14 May 1948, it zorks out that Yom Ha'atzmaut would be Sunday...

Anyway, I'll quit complaining. The real problem is that I got into an argument with someone on the presupposed Yom Hazikaron that was celebrated by Hillel as Yom Ha'atzmaut on campus. It was an argument about the wall. This one kid was handing out packets of 'wall propaganda' for chrissakes! I support the state of Israel's right to exist, as well it should, we need a little piece of sky and, god forbidding, some land. But with that comes responsiblity to realize the effects of what you are doing beyond yourself.--This guy tried to convince me that the green line didn't exist. Then I was looking at them on the facebook, what a terrible addiction, and he's in this group I noticed. Jews for Bush. What the Fuck?! If you want Greater Israel to rise as an all-American Foreign/Domestic interest, fisfuck crusade, the, by all means go ahead. The president of Hillel is a member.

People, criticize yourselves--especially you ashkenazi, we're known for beating ourselves up with guilt.

And that's a rant...

Je vous dis merde!
