    Lotus Feet

    Two of the hottest women I know are Israeli-Yemeni sisters who run a wonderful restaurant hereabouts. Hot! Hot! Hot!

    One of the most beautiful aspects of Israel is the wide ethnic variety of people here. Same goes for the food. And music (check out the Eidan Reichel Project for Ethiopian-flavored music, Yehuda Poliker for Greek-, David Broza for Latin-, and too many artists to mention for rock). It's one hell of a country, and I'm very glad I moved here.

    Do you think any of the little, barking Nazis around here recognize that the Arab nations took in very few of their fellow Arabs

    No. And let's not forget that, years after Israel left Gaza, there are STILL Palestinians living in refugee camps there. I defy anybody to explain that, other than to keep a steady supply of suicide bombers.
