News Cycles That Make Your Head Spin

Sometimes I think the only way to stay really sane in Israel is to forgo paying attention to the news. Yesterday was one of those days when, by the time you started getting a handle on the big news story of the day, it disappeared and was replaced by something else.

We woke up with the big revelation regarding secret peace talks with Syria, by lunchtime it was all about Olmert’s criminal investigation, and then suddenly, both stories had vanished because Chief of Staff Dan Halutz resigned. Even for Israel it was a crazy news day.

• About Israelity

  Israel is often seen as a place of conflict and strife. In reality there is much more: there's business and research; art and culture; community and family. At ISRAELITY, Israelis blog their daily thoughts, experiences and insights. It's the real Israel, not the media's Israel. It's people living ordinary lives in an extraordinary place.
