safe/secured rooms
I checked the Home Front Command site - they call it secure space.
Their name sounds very wrong in English.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Also in "things that are wrong": Nilly, the "Case Lead" name - I still can't get over it.
I laughed at first. Now it just feels like they're violating my favorite holiday. Not that it felt like one the past couple of days.

I'll stick to "secure room", if that's OK with you, thank you very much.
"Case Lead"
For the non-Hebrew-speakers and non-Hebrew-Hanukkah-songs-singers among us, the "cast lead" name is taken from a children's Hanukkah song, about the things prepared for the holiday - the mom makes latkes, the dad brings a dreidle (sp?) made of cast lead, and so forth.
And, yes, it's connecting two things that really shouldn't go together.

Oh, I meant the Home Front Command.
Case Lead
Should be Cast Lead. My bad.

Home Front Command.
Well, the name is a sort of contradiction in and of itself in Hebrew, too - the front at the back? How can you call it?

Rear Command...?
Dunno.
Update: Syria stopped the peace talks with Israel. One news source saying hospitals in the north are getting ready... to what?

“Not dead yet!”
Oy. Sending much peace and calm ~ma for Nilly and Shir.
That's all I got, really, other than the fact that being in the sheltering arms of the Buffistas, I tend to forget how stupid and reckless the rest of the world is.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Nilly, I'm hoping for a Hanukkah miracle and some peace over there soon. If not peace, I'll settle for no more people dying in the immediate future.
Safet~ma for your sister, Shir.

My sister and BiL left a bit ago to head back home. It was nice having family visit for the Christmas holiday.
They also helped us stack our woodpile on the front porch and get it under cover. Liv hauled wood in her sled while Owen hung out with our snowman.

Update: same as last time (demonstrations, rocket attacks, etc.), only with one dead Palestinian and two others wounded in demonstration in Nili'in (sp?). And oh, how lovely, in the riots in the neighborhood next to my they're now throwing Molotovs as well as rocks. I'm starting to be slightly concerned about walking to uni if this would last. As far as I know, anyone can enter/get out of there - it's not really a refugee camp per se. Hell, there are plenty of houses over there I won't be able ever to afford.
IDF entering the Strip seems realistic at the moment, judging by the news and reports.
