The photo above is one of my friend Lisa Goldman, a journalist based in Tel Aviv who blogs at On the Face. Whenever things are going all ballistic in the neighbourhood of Israel, I go check out her blog to see perspectives I might not otherwise catch on the news here — not only hers, but from the blogs to which she links. Her most recent entries cover the current situation — not just from the war-and-politics angle, but also from the point of view of someone going about their daily life amidst it all. Go check out her blog; it’s worthwhile reading.
