... en zn vader en vrienden het slechte nieuws verteld, toen hij onverwacht bijkwam; wel een vinger armer. Salah vertelde dat hij laatst op een schoolfoto zat te kijken, en dat hij van die groep de enige nog levende persoon was. En dat alles met een lach op hun gezicht, en misschien een beetje stoerdoenerij. " Zo is het leven nu eenmaal" <br><br>De jongens konden niet wachten om Palestina te verlaten en eindelijk een leven te bouwen. Want behalve plaats, is er ook geen werk en ...

... ging... Dementsprechend lief heute nicht viel. Nur kurz ins Hecht-Museum in d** Univ**sitaet von Haifa, das wars. Vorhin lief d** letzte Spieltag d** Bundesliga-Saison, bei dem ich 90 Minuten lang mitansehen musste, wie Wolfsburg zum Abschluss nochmal Bremen demonti**en durfte und sich so die Meist**schaft sich**te. Weil das Hostel ab** kein allzu grosses PayTV-Angebot hatte, musste ich zu einem Freund des Besitz**s nebenan, d** sich als d** Fussballv**rueckte Juda h**aussellte ...

... themselves up completely to their faith. I don't have much in common with them. But, one thing we do share is the belief that it's bad to masturbate. "Achieve freedom from your body." - J.Breen philosophy I gave up masturbation in February 2006, achieving a success so overwhelming it makes me want to celebrate in the street. A Michigander friend said of this achievement, "Dude, you only have to do that if you want to, like, levitate." "I do want to levitate ...

... don't even WANT a girlfriend. I want to travel. And for afterwards, I want a whole utopian community full of girlfriends and friends. But, is such a thing possible? I arrived in Israel with so little going for me that even the word, "nothing", looked rich in comparison. Among other things, I needed a place to stay. Luckily, travelers in Israel have for decades enjoyed staying on "kibbutzim" (kibbutzes). (Whew! It's tough work making the transition ...

Sorry about the length of this entry but there is so much to tell ......(quite a few photos as well!!) Bridget writes..... 26th May We set off for Syria yesterday afternoon. The sun was shining and the forecast was good. The wind was on the nose so we tacked out to sea and back again. There was quite a swell and we had to look out for rubbish floating in the water. Very soon the wind picked up and so did the height of the waves and it was slow ...

... that opens up so I end up standing in an empty parking space. We are now set for the day. The name of the parking area is the Knights parking lot, just the one suggested by Fodors! Following Fodors advice, we wander about, looking for the stairway to the ramparts of the Old City walls. A street vendor squeezing fresh orange juice catches Harvey's eye. Being from Florida, we love fresh orange juice and we haven't had any since we've ...

... creations include lamp shades, wall hangings, and note cards. They are very creatively done. Following our map, we walk into a building and are looking around, wondering why it is checked on our map. Someone walks up to us and asks if he can help us. We show him our map and he says that this really is quite an interesting building, but most likely it was checked off by mistake! He thinks it is the ugliest building in Zichron and perhaps that was ...

... at Megiddo have uncovered 25 strata of different civilizations on this tell (mound). The first strata are in the 4th millennium BC. Can you believe they go back over 6,000 years? My personal experience is my frame of time reference, and is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months, years, decades. One hundred years, one thousand years, six thousand years - they all seem off the scale! I can't wrap my mind around that; there is no ...

... for harvesting grain (which left a characteristic gloss on the edge of the blades). There were also microliths of lunate shape, used as arrowheads, for harpoons and as fish hooks and larger tools made of rough chunks of flint for cracking bones and hard-shelled seeds. Grinding tools, mortars and pestles made of stone, were used for food processing.<br> On the terrace in front of the cave, more then one hundred individual human burials were excavated. The dead were buried in a ...

... indicates that the Roman governor really existed. Other Roman remains are in the recently discovered governmental seat of Caesarea, in the South-western area near Herod's palace.<br> A conflict which broke out in Caesarea in 66 BCE fuelled the first Jewish War against the Romans. The population of the city was a mix of Jewish and gentile people. In the increasing tensions between them under Roman rule, fights broke out between Jews and gentiles, after which the country slid ...
