News from Home ...

Although this blog was not meant to comment on media news, i cannot but write a few sentences on the major subject of the headlines i get from my country of origin: Austria.

There will be no more praising of the Third Reichs methods, no hidden antisemitic clues that excite the old and young Nazis coming from this mouth anymore. Not that i felt like celebrating, it just came to my mind tonight, that i did not bring any of the Cuban Cigars (Cohiba Siglo VI) i saved for special occasions and also did not buy one although i passed by an open Cigar Shop on Ben Yehuda Street.

But, i really had to laugh at peoples reactions. His followers speaking of "Weltuntergang" (the end of the world) and Assassination and Conspiracies ...
Oh my, they lost their "Fuehrer" and it seems he simply lost control of his car on a pretty straight road while driving more than twice as fast as allowed ...

So i made an extra round of exercises on the great free Gym equipment on Gordon Beach and took this image of a grafitti which reads "Am Israel hai"="The people of Israel LIVE":

Am Yisroel Hai !
