Don't feed the animals
Biblical Plagues
The first two plagues in the Bible were blood red water pollution and frogs. Now the water is pure and there are no frogs (only mosquitos) but I have my own plagues. This month-long war is depressing me, and yesterday I bought a Skoda car and negotiated the price but, in the end, I blindly signed a higher price. A case of bait-and-switch on an old man and I don't know what to do. Another plague is a severe health issue that fell on a daughter. Yet another is fighting with her ex - with lawyers. God help.

Tragic Irony
“One of the tragic ironies of this is the vast majority of the casualties were kibbutzim and the people at this outdoor concert. And people who live in kibbutzim and people who go to raves tend to be the more left-wing, secular Israelis who oppose Netanyahu. Who oppose the occupation, who oppose the seizure of Gaza. Not the right wing ultra-religious nationalist types. I have a good friend who, just a few months ago we were doing training in nonviolent civil resistance to war and occupation, for activists. She lived in kibbutz Kissufim, and she is missing and likely dead or kidnapped. Kerem Shalom, which is probably the most left-wing kibbutz in Israel, they’ve been involved in nonviolent direct action against the occupation. They were overrun, massacres there …”
"Training in nonviolent civil resistance..." in kibbutz Kissufim (pic). On October 7th., eight kibbutz civilians and six Thai laborers died, and additionally at least four individuals were abducted and taken to Gaza.

The failure of technology
Pic.: The border wall (and patrol road and electronic fence) we built to protect ourselves from Hamas. Highest technology available, with sensors and watchtowers, and a floating zeppelin to observe from above. It was a "smart border" built at a cost of billion dollars.

Decapitated
This beautiful girl, Shani Louk, was dancing at the nature festival in South Israel when ISIS HAMAS terrorists invaded and brutalized her and kidnapped her to Gaza. Her body was found today decapitated. It hurts me.
A Tatzpitanit soldier was liberated for HAMAS captivity. Me third daughter was tatzpitanit in the very same place.
The gas belongs to the Argentines.
”Si el martes a las 12 de la noche no está resuelto el abastecimiento de combustibles, desde el miércoles no van a poder sacar un barco de exportación porque primero el petróleo de los argentinos es de los argentinos”, dijo Massa.
The old slogan of Arturo Frondizi "The gas belongs to the Argentines" is being used once again. Gas is unavailable in most Buenos Aires, and the Minister for Economy addresses the oil companies: supply the gas or else.
I think the companies are losing money with the current price specially after the drastic devaluation of the last week. Massa is the probable next president.
Frondizi expropriated the oil companies and Argentina had to import fuel for the next decades. Argentina's governance did not improve.
