13 August 2001: I don't feel like writing.

I've been sick (caught a virus) for the last week, and that's why i didn't blog.

But it's not just that. Things here in Israel aren't going very well.

Last Sunday (August 5th) a palestinian started shooting people with a gun in the center of Tel Aviv, very close to David's workplace. No one was badly hurt. David himself was in a conference in another town. His parents and sister, not knowing that and unable to reach him by phone (his mobile phone was closed because of the conference), called me hysterically to find out if I know anything regarding his whereabouts.

A few days ago a palestinian terrorist blew himself inside a "Sbarro" diner in Jerusalem. Families, mothers and their babies and teenagers were dining there at the time. 15 people where killed (the youngest was 2 years old) and about 90 were injured.

Yesterday there was a bombing in a restaurant in Kiryat Motzkin, a small town near Haifa. A palestinian terrorist blew himself inside the restaurant. 16 people where injured.

(You can read the Israel's sad history of bomb blasts in the BBC news website).

When will it all stop?
