Just a very short post, since I have two Exams tomorrow. I will write more on monday after my last exam.
Because Israel did not succeed to stop the constant rocket with their airstrikes, they just started a ground offensive. Furthermore they called up “ten thousands” reserves, which probably includes hundreds of students from my university.
In East Jerusalem, heavy riots took place today. I heard explosions the whole day, smoke was rising, it was kind of scary. I really dont know how I am supposed to study in this atmosphere:)
I am actually really glad that I can be hear right now. It is thrilling to follow things happen so close, seeing the riots, hearing shots, seeing the facebook statuses of my friends from both sides of the conflict. Dont misunderstand me, I am not happy what is happening, but I think it was necessary and if I could choose between it happening now or in February, I would choose now.
Concerning the last days, I litterally read hundreds of articles about what is going on (one very interesting here) and I will tell more details next week. I will also go out and try to get more own impressions.
But now I have to study “Foreign Policy of Israel”…although events of today can also be relevant in the exam tomorrow..this is seeing history happen I guess;-)
