Sickest two and a half hours… now, my Chaim loves several things…he loves to travel, he loves the finer wines and beers (and loves how much I am so not a drinker), and he loves music. Not the kind of music I like, but music just the same. So sick here means good…Sort of like once bad meant bad and changed to good.
The Hebrew phrase, “chaval al ha’zman” used to mean something was a waste of time and now means it’s amazing and really worth your time. Apparently, one of the highlights of a trip is to go to a concert that makes you sick!
So maybe it isn’t the world that is so misunderstood but rather our interpretation. Maybe merciful doesn’t really mean one who offers mercy and gracious doesn’t mean kind and giving.
Perhaps the UN is not praising Hamas; and perhaps Islam recognizes that a god that gives honor to those who murder, behead, explode, shoot, stab and stone isn’t really God at all.
Too much to contemplate when I am so filled with anger. I prefer using English as it was meant to be used. At least when I am tired and upset.
The UN is hypocritical and biased. Allah is neither merciful nor gracious. To stab a woman in the throat is barbaric; to behead a man is terrorism. To shoot at an ambulance is cruel; to shoot four young men is cowardly and criminal.
And, hopefully, the concert was awesome.
The names of the wounded for prayers are:
- Malachi Moshe ben Sarah Nechama
- Chananya ben Shula
- Shai ben NiliYair ben Shoshana.
מלאכי בן שרה,חנניה בן שולה,שי בן נילי,יאיר בן שושנה
Please God, watch over them, heal them, comfort their families as they sit beside their sons. May these young men be granted a full and speedy recovery and may those who have perpetrated all of the above attacks speedily and fully be brought to the Highest Judge of all.
May the God of Israel continue to show His mercy in these trying days of Ramadan.
