I only found out about the burning of the mosque in Yasuf this evening. We went to lunch at Abu Khaled’s, at the Paz gas station in Herzlia, and the place was so crowded I couldn’t talk to anyone beside the kids. The food was great, plentiful, and accompanied by so many extras I can’t count them. And I looked around at all the peace signs and pictures and thought about how well our relationships are developing… ha.
And then, at the Hannuka party tonight someone told me. The outrage was so great I could not speak for a while, but I have no right to feel that outrage. It’s a kind of self-righteousness. There have been other events leading up to this for months and I’ve said nothing.
