The Annexation Endgame

י״ז באלול ה׳תש״ע (Friday 27 August 2010)

IHTG asked what I thought about this article. He wrote: My feeling is that the settlers with their sense of community and extremely high birthrates find it easier to imagine surviving in a multi-ethnic society along with Arabs, in a sort of mini-Austro-Hungary, with themselves as the Austrians.

Tel Aviv’s Proudest Day

כ״ט בתמוז ה׳תש״ע (Sunday 11 July 2010)

I’ve lived in Tel Aviv already more than a few years, and I long ago learned to hide what I believe about any issue from the people I meet here. More than half of the girls I’ve dated in Tel Aviv have been draft dodgers, not including the one draft resister I fucked after I [...]

Deflation

ז׳ באדר ה׳תש״ע (Sunday 21 February 2010)

Recently one of my favorite bloggers, Israeli Water Engineer, wrote about fears of deflation in the United States: “This is bad. The only solution to world indebtness is controlled inflation….” I commented that deflation is a pretty good thing; he replied and I replied back (go read it). Though this discussion is about deflation, I [...]
