It's that time of year again, and it's been a particularly tough year, both at the personal level and at larger scales, up to and including globally. Particularly in difficult periods, people sometimes say things better left unsaid, or judge others more harshly than justified.

שמירה על החוק וזכויות אדם זה לא בושה, זה ערך יהודי בסיסי. אנחנו לא יורדים לרמה של הרעבה אפילו של הנוחבות בדיוק בגלל שאנחנו לא כמוהם. אסור שבן גביר יגרור אותנו לשם.

Israel’s government is also at war with the environment
By caving to populist media and political pressure, the coalition has turned science-based environmental policies into a political battleground

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.
These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

הקבינט לא מתייחס לרמטכ"ל שהם בחרו. שרים בממשלה הניחו למשרדים לא להתייחס לצו בג" ץ. אנחנו נגררים למלחמה נצחית שהורגת את החטופים, חיילים, ואזרחים, בזמן שממשלת מיעוט שולטת בלי גבולות או יחס לחוק. מה קורה למדינה הזאת?

מכל מבט אפשרי חייבים לסיים את המלחמה הזאת. החזרת החטופים, שחיקת החיילים, המצב הומניטרי בעזה, תפיסת ישראל בעולם, הטראומה הלאומי, אחדות העם, הסכמי שלום אם השכנים... אסור ששרידת ראש הממשלה ישקל יותר מהכול.

Clashes resume in Syria's Druze city of Sweida, Israel vows more strikes
Clashes between Syrian government troops and local Druze fighters resumed in the southern Druze city of Sweida early on Wednesday, collapsing a ceasefire announced just hours earlier that aimed to put an end to days of deadly sectarian bloodshed.

It's interesting to note that when referring to the interim leader of Syria when it comes to positive developments and possible agreements, Israeli media uses the name "al-Sharaa", but when it's negative coverage - such as the current violence in Sweida - they use the name "al-Jolani".

So yesterday my bike was stolen. The thief cut the lock off in broad daylight, was caught on video, and reported to the police, but I kinda doubt anything will come of it.
This morning my apartment was flooded, apparently due to the fault of a neighbor.
Does anyone have any GOOD news?

It's kind of insane that it is Trump who might be able to finally pressure Netanyahu into ending this war.

After spending a large part of the morning in a bomb shelter (while TRYING to pick up groceries), a large part of a missile did land a few hundred meters from where I was, but everything's fine. I even made it to my Zoom class on time.

Still safe. Starting to feel rather under the weather, probably since I haven't properly slept since Wednesday night. Lots of booms each round.
