I have declared an end to Wold War II. As a WWIi baby, born in 1942, when Jews were being incinerated by Germans, I have always cut Israel 100% slack. They could do no wrong. But with the e recent horrifying activity in Gaza, World War II is over and the Israelis do not deserve an iota of slack.

I get incredibly anxious about flights. Drives my wife crazy. I agree with her. On the other hand, my defense is that in my traveling days staff calculated that I took between 5000 and 6000 flights. If that doesn’t make a total mess of your head (and body) I don’t know what the hell would.
