some of my friends here are so mad– they want to shoot qassams at Tel Aviv– they almost never complain about the palestinians…only about the government. Its like being in New Orleans– nobody gives a shit about the people here. And if all of the people in this town got up and left, the state of Israel would be at the real beginning of its demise. Yesterday a kid lost his leg…. and my friend saw it. Everybody in town was furious-. I convinced my friend to drive out of here for a few hours because he was so upset. But when we went to get out of town, the main highway out of town was blocked because there was a riot– people were burning tires and stopping the roads…. it is so upsetting I can’t even explain. And yesterday was so sad that I couldn’t even film it. I am hiring my cinematographer to come here because he will get the shot no matter what. I just can’t do it… I just can’t stick a camera in someone’s face when they are so distressed. Somehow it feels okay if I am paying for someone else to do it… I just can’t.
Shabbat was insane. Friday morning we ran to the bomb shelter 8 times… then after shabbat dinner it was like five times again.. the people living here are heroes. And the rest of israel doesn’t care.
