It’s Not a War Till It Has Its Own Blog

Here it is — the Israel-Hezbollah War Blog

The new blogger on the block is a Haifa resident, naturally — named David Lisbona.

He gives a great overview of the city and its history — until now, it has been Israel’s most quiet and unassuming city, unlike Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which can’t stop tooting their own horn.

And, of course, he shares his experiences living under fire.

Since Sunday July 16 the streets of Haifa are almost empty in contrast to the centre of the country (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem) where life continues as usual. Irit and I have driven down to Tel Aviv several times in the last week and we continue to be amazed how people are leading their normal lives elsewhere, walking in the streets, going to shops and cafes. It’s good that we can take a break from the war atmosphere in Haifa from time to time (a great privilege compared to the suffering in south Lebanon) but it feels rather surrealistic.
