Hooray for Peace!
A free bus to Tel-Aviv? How could I not turn that down?
Last night being one of the 10,000 rallyers at the peace rally that started at Rabin Square, I knew I had no choice but to make myself seen and heard. Unfortunately, one of the blokes I was with thought of this plan first and walked around with his shirt off having fellow rallyers sign his naked body. Oh well. I still found a really cool sign to carry around that said "Noar Avodah: Ein Derekh Achera" meaning Labor Youth: There's no other way."
Unfortunately, the settlers who called the rally a failure were sort of right; I never felt that into the rally and it never seemed that passionate. Sure we all sang Hatikva at the end and waved around banners and flags, but it pales in comparison to the Gush Katif rally in Jerusalem a month ago. Of course, those rallying for the Gush Katif cause were rallying to keep their homes as compared to last night's rally in favor of giving up their homes, but it's still important to consider the greater cause here, peace upon the nation.
After the rally we were hungry so we found a sabech place (i think that's what it's called) and ate like arabian kings. Then two of my buddies were still hungry so they got a few slices of pie from the pizza place across the street.
Changing the subject completely, I added some pictures from that bike ride I went on with OSA a few weeks ago. I hope they're enjoyable. I have to go to my internship today and then write a 1 page paper for my Arab-Israeli conflict class. I'm not really sure what to write about but I should be able to think of something.
