Everybody on the Jewish blogosphere is blogging at great length about the war. And I just don’t have the heart to. You can read the papers, that’s mostly what I’m doing, checking every few hours to see where bombs are landing and what’s happening, and calling friends in Haifa periodically to make sure they’re OK (didn’t hear back from them yesterday, but I’m assuming it’s because they’re camped out in the bomb shelter, and/or trying to take care of business.) JewSchool is another place you can go for news, and Harry at The View From Here did a roundup of people blogging on all this here.

Yeah, I don’t know. Not a lot to add to all of this. My general emotional reaction right now is to want to hide under the bed, which doesn’t make for a lot of sharp political analysis.
I’m not really hiding–I’m working, meeting friends for work dates or social visits, sitting in coffee shops, will be going to my Reiki class (!!) tonight, et cetera. But I’m really feeling like… you know, analyzing much of anything at the moment, at least as far as political and military things go. You want analysis, click on one of the links above.

It was nice to hang out yesterday with friends who immigrated here a long time ago and who have small kids, whose reactions to all this were somewhere in the middle between my jaded Israeli friends (”well, in a way, this is kind of good, because we can solve things once and for all….of course some more bombs will be dropped on Israel, that’s par for the course, just don’t get all upset about it”) and the skittish, freaked-out Americans. Kind of reality-checky.

More when I have more to say. Or when you all send me stupid distracting things to which I can link.
