Had an interesting conversation at Night Seder the other night with a friend from Shul.
While talking with me about the Matzav we all face, he drew a contrast between himself and me. Being a musician, he asked me if I knew how to read a musical score. I said no. He complimented me at being so good at what I do; activism, fighting for Eretz Yisrael, understanding the “politics”, etc.

Where now is the army’s ‘determination and sensitivity’ proclaimed in the public relations propaganda of Sharon?
