dear blogger
dont be offended but i really should have used livejournal.
i know you make yourself easy to use, and youre connected to my gmail. its not like i dont see the positives, but theres just something about livejournal. dont hear me wrong, im not leaving you right now, its just...well, i never should have committed myself to you in the first place. now we have too much history. we were never right for eachother, and i mean i love you, i really do...im just not in love with you. i really do hope we work through this difficult time, and i know youve been really jealous of all the time ive been spending on livejournal lately. but for the entries im willing to give this a shot, to make it work, if youre still in. i just really thought you should know how i feel. i think it would make things a lot easier for me if you could just make your comment section better, more interactive, you know like livejournal does. im not saying you have to be someone you arent, but this is going to take compromise ya know, and i dont want to end up leaving later on when there's even more at stake, but with my israel adventures coming to a close i might just have to start afresh if you arent willing to work with me.

suck it
so today we are doing something new. new is fun. new is the new black.
sometimes i hate my job
i spend approximately 89% of the time im actually working doing talkbacks. i.e. reading every single comment posted to any and all articles that we have up on the website, checking them for content. let me give you a couple of fun examples from today.
back story: an Israeli soldier catches a 16 year old Palestinian boy at a checkpoint strapped with pipebombs. Upon being discovered he tried to detonate his explosives, but the soldier had alerted her comrades and they shot the boy to death before he was able to take out himself and those surrounding.
one poster who titled himself PSSD OFF aRAB! said:
Animals. Killing a defenseless 16 year old boy just because he had explosives was no reason to kill him. So he lowered his hands. Maybe he had an itch because he was threatened by
the zionists
so theres that, theres also
Roxana from IRAN:
Tony L! I am not a Jew Hater! you`re not tolerant!
To be an ignorant you need to be an American first! A nation who don`t know there is something named "Rest of the World". They become awre about the existance of a country when they attack a country for no real reason!
If in Soviet Union Jews didn`t feel at home, it`s not because there were Jews, but as they are never loyal to their home country. We have good examples in IRAN, they live and work in IRAN without having a tie to their homeland! Read the post of Jane to me and my answers to her! You beleive in some stereotypes!Such as muslims, polygamist & ... as far as you vulgar Americans listen to Fox news and don`t see the world can`t judge others!
normally at work i feel pretty good about being both jewish and an american because people are like so totally receptive right!
lastly, ATILLA, oh atilla the current bane of my existence. Atilla posts about 50-150 times a day, all with various things usually about sodomy or raping jewish mothers and the like. but today, oh today, he was really very interested in the female staff here at haaretz and he wrote us a song.

lovely isnt it.
so earlier i had said todays post we were trying something new out, well here it is. ive written a short manifesto if you will, a letter to the talkbackers. its really in my opinion a very lovely editorial, unfortunately it looks like it will never see the light of day here at haaretz, so instead ive opted to publish it myself. i can do that ya know, im my own editor and i say its just right, anyways point being here you go:
Dear all of you:
A couple of short points
1. You are all always wrong. You provide biased facts from sources that aren’t worth my, or anyone else’s time.
2. You spell everything incorrectly. We have a Hebrew edition, if you can’t get the word right in English maybe try there, or I don’t know looking it up.
3. Apartheid has an actual meaning, please learn it.
4. Do you have a job? Is it to comment on talkbacks? I bet it’s not, so I suggest you try doing that for a change.
5. I hate to burst your bubble but your rants to the right or left aren’t doing anything, completely and 100% I can say that your thoughts are baseless and empty. Nothing will ever come of them. You spend a significant amount of your time talking to 20 other people, whose opinions you’ll never change and whom you insist on calling fools/morons/idiots and retards just to prove your own intellect. If you actually care so much why don’t you:
a. move to Israel and see how things work
b. move to Gaza or the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and see how that works
c. instead of constantly complaining about the government and how things never change, stepping up and trying to change the system from the inside out.
6. Every single one of you needs a history lesson, and to quick picking and choosing what of history fits your political slant. History is supposed to be factual, if you learn it in its totality there isn’t much to argue about.
7. Atilla for the love of G-d please stop posting.
8. While everyone has an opinion on the United States as well, I would rather not hear them. That is unless you care about learning more than just how the foreign policy affects your specific country. Because quite honestly I have the right to vote and you don’t, come at me with something constructive and I would willing devote my attention.
9. You would be amazed at how painful it is to post 96% of all talkbacks. Out of spite I’d like to see all of you banned.
10. Have a nice day
Signed,
Agitated, unpaid, Haaretz intern and moderator of the talkbacks
(although you know my real identity don't you now)
oh ps daynas room has also started to mold so it looks like i could be homeless by the time work is over, NO BIGGIE
anywho more later

water blogged
have i mentioned that our apartment building flooded two days ago
that ours appears to be the worst
that im the only one that had to sleep there that night because at 230 in the morning when i got home i had no where else to go
that creepy israeli men walked in and out all night and the following morning
that there were a ton of HUGE fans in our apartment "blowing" the floor dry and this big refrigerator looking thing that sucks the water out of the carpet and into the toilet
the fans are like 100 decibels its horrible
to make matters even worse our evil landlord amit called serena and i into his bomb shelter office yesterday afternoon to tell us that we've been booted from our luxurious apartment and sent out into the abyss, so they can rip up all our fabulous carpets to replace them
ive stuffed all the necessities into my camping pack and hit the streetz
of course by the streetz i do mean that ive moved into daynas abandoned room for the next two-six days in the apartment directly below ours, that is unless something more appealing comes my way
the ceiling is leaking in daynas apartment and the light fixtures have pooled with water, plus one time i saw a cockroach in stephanies bed UGH
the point of all this is that its terrible and awful and it shouldn’t have ever happened to me specifically
on the bright side i did go to a food and wine festival last night, of course it was an Israeli sized festival but still a festival none the less. that was nice, expensive nosh and alcohol really do cheer me up like nothing else
more to come in the water damage saga im sure
stay tuned
