My friends in Israel

Last week I mentioned two Israeli friends of mine. Just an update, one of them, (the younger single guy) was called to service and is apparently part of the force in/near Lebanon.

The person I learned this from is another Israeli who currently works inthe US, I've worked with her for years. She had called me this morning stressed out about the current job environment at my company and asked me toreview her resume before she started sending it around. In the course of conversation I ask how her family is doing. I know her sister is in Haifa (apparently all her family is). She said that they are trying to"get on with their day to day lives, going to work, etc". So I said,"Let me get this straight. You're more worried about your job than your family who is getting bombed all day long?"

she says "they don't bomb ALL day long".

I just laughed and pointed out the difference again between Israelis andthe everyone else in the world.
