The security wasn’t too bad on the flight back, at least.

Martin — It is indeed sad, the enviro devastation of war, which isn’t limited to olive groves. I shudder to think of the amount of CO2 emissions we’ve created by invading Iraq. The latest issue of The Atlantic has an article about how the war in Congo’s making an ecoystem collapse. Depressing –

Strange that you got hassled and had your stuff taken away on a flight to Israel, b/c the only time I’ve been singled out at the airport (well, in a big-deal-we’re taking-all-your-stuff-and-passport-too kind of way )was when flying through Tel aviv. Maybe it’s b/c our names make it sound like we’re related to superman.

You know, I have no idea how they found me to return the shaver. They just assured me that I would get it back and then when I went to check in for my return flight it was waiting for me at the check in desk. It just seemed like the oddest thing to confiscate, especially because I wasn’t trying to bring it in my carry on luggage and you can’t even cut yourself with it, much less hold up a plane.

One of the saddest environmental issues that I have heard involves armies bulldozing ancient olive groves for security reasons. It is a heartbreaking waste of resources and it is a hardship for the local people. This happens in various hot spots including Palestinian territories and US controlled Iraq.

Regarding the America-Israel Friendship League and “democracy”: http://azvsas.blogspot.com/2009/05/sadly-israel-is-no-longer-democratic.html

(To make it clear why I post this stuff: I am a sustainability activist of Jewish/Central European origin. In my view there is nothing sustainable about the Zionist project of Israel.)
