After the Oslo Accords were signed, Arafat went to South Africa and 'assured' his Moslem audience that what he signed was no different than what Mohammed signed with (can't think of the name of it) a Jewish tribe. It was just to be a temporary 'truce' until his forces could be strengthened. That is just what Arafat meant - to sign a 'truce' for ten years. The only difference between Hamas and Arafat is methodology. Their goal is the same: the destruction of Israel. </p>
<p>Now to a lighter note. What did you think of last night's ceremony with only sports figures lighting the flame? My husband didn't think much of it. He thought that there should have been one or two sports figures and the rest from other fields. </p>
<p>We went out for a meal of shipudim today. I had hodu (turkey for you non-Hebrew speakers) and he ordered duck liver. Plus, of course, all the side dishes: humus, freedom (you know what I mean) fries, and various salads. Now he's watching old Israeli movies and I'm on-line. </p>
<p>I understand tonight that Limor isn't going to be at the awards; she won't have to look Tamarkin in the face and hand him his award! I wouldn't be there either if I were her! Our esteemed President will do the 'honors' instead. By the way, I used to be his neighbor back when we lived in Kiryat Malachi. I used to teach his nephews English privately and was friends with his sister. I even 'yelled' at him once after beit knesset one Shabbat concerning the Wye Accords. He turned to my husband and asked, "Why is she yelling at me? Tell her to talk to Bibi." </p>
