Girls to the rescue of China
"I can live without coffee,
I can live without Tea
And I'm livid about the honeybee
I'm not a fillet steak,
I can leave or take,
But the Girls are part of me!"
- Allen Toussaint (Ernie K. Doe)
As China changes child policy,
Young and old emperors of china had to admit,
They just can't do without girls...

Universal tolerance organization's conference
I have had the honor to receive the "Freedom of expression" cartoon award, to meet great people, and to give a speech at UTO's conference at Drammen, Norway.
This conference was special in many ways. Firstly, the unique gathering of world's experts regarding extremism and tolerance (economists, journalists, politicians, activists) - the quality of the speeches, presentations and panels was truly excellent, thought provoking and inspirational, I had a real privilege to have had the experience of listening to all of these unusual people (Take a look here)
Secondly, the remarkable award UTO Produced for the event - a replica of the Cyrus cylinder (link) as a symbol of freedom, respect for different people and different faiths, and the right of jews to return to Jerusalem (Shivat Zion).
and Thirdly, the warm welcome I was received with, that made me forget I was a visitor.

New Year, New decisions...
Syria, Days of Repentance - Don't Let It Be another page in your history book.
As the jewish new year approaches many of us here in Israel will be sitting down for the traditional meal of Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is the first day of "The Ten Days of Repentance". According to Judaism It is the new year for all people, In this day we are introspecting, we are examining our ways and trying to improve them, we are striving to be better people. I'd like to wish all of us to improve our ways before we enjoy our holidays, to see and love our neighbors as we see and love ourselves, to speak out for those who can't and to remind our leaders the meaning of Never-Again.
Shanna Tova!
