Sex sells! What’s wrong with a little eye candy?

P.S. I noticed there was no denial of the sexualization of one of your own to sell this Hollywood claptrap posing as a slice of technohistory.

Well, that is just an asinine assumption. Israel has many of the world’s top scientists, inventors, and innovators. The Technion is on par with universities like MIT and new innovations are being created constantly.

USB drives is just one glaring example, nobody believes that the State of Israel developed any technology that its spy network didn’t steal from another country or was given to them out of pity for WWII. Drip irrigation is another prime example. That method of irrigation is thousands of years old and has been used all over the world by many different peoples, just because plastic was involved in their innovation does not an invention make.

I could see an argument for calling the video propaganda, but I didn’t see anything that wasn’t accurate and truthful.

Eric,
Ups and downs in life are quite natural, expecially when it comes to the demands of constant updates to a blog. If your life is not progressing with ups and downs, then you are probably flat-lining!
Constant connection with Israel is not easy for those who are not living in the Holy Land. It is inevitable that there will be a certain remoteness due to the demands of every-day life and pressures where you live, despite the close emotional connection that you will always feel with Israel. The best way to counter this feeling is regular visits where possible. I am sure that it is not coincidental that your current feeling of disconnection comes at a time when you have not visited Israel for some time. I have no doubt that this will change as soon as you touch down at Ben Gurion airport again. It is for this reason that Birthright and similar initiatives have been so successful. As much as other activities are important and welcome, it is difficult to find a replacement for that personal contact and experience. The longer you stay away, the greater the feeling of disconnection will be.
So, plan to visit as frequently as you can and you will feel more connected.

Keep up the good work.
Anthony
