Today has been very quiet - at least in Qiryat Gat.
On the other hand, it has been quite a rough day diplomatically. It appears that our glorious Prime Minister feels that our country is so strong and independent that he can allow himself to offend our closest ally and strongest supporter (the USA). He stood up and publicly gave the impression (with typical Israeli chutzpah) that he was the person who told Bush to give Condoleeza Rice orders to abstain rather than vote against Israel in the UN. The Americans - not surprisingly - are furious, and are demanding some sort of retraction, or at least clarification. To any Americans reading this, you shouldn't really be offended. He has been lying to us for years! All the same, it is embarrassing for this to happen at a time when the rest of the world is roundly condemning us. Ingratitude par excellence...
