Just having lunch on a nice Friday afternoon with my good friends Renard, Orit and Tal.
Actually, this post is more about showing off the new WordPress app for the Android phones then anything else…

More pictures from Iran
The situation in Iran isn’t good at all. In an effort to control the riots, the regime as placed all opposition leaders to Ahmadinejad in house arrest, the universities were filled with policemen and major activists in the reformists groups were arrested.
If you’re interested, you can read Mousavi’s letter in English, you can read an overview of the demonstrations on Global Voices Online. You can also check out Gary’s Choices which writes about the issue.
The twittersphere is also actively discussing how the traditional media fails to pick u on the Iranian story at all. Rinat states that #CNNfail is one of the more popular tags on twitter.
Check out Andrew Sullivan that has a post showing how the reports on the votes for Ahmadinejad through out the elections day present a linear graph…
I’ve found this Amir Sadeghi’s blog – Tehran Live – which has amazing pictures from yesterday’s riots.
Here is a picture of the instruction paper I got. It in Hebrew, so all you non-Hebrew readers can go to the Home Front Command website and read it there, and even watch an instruction video.
I went to get the car from the garage this morning, and then went to do the regular shopping for my parents. In the supermarket I was approached by a young female soldier which handed me a paper with instructions on how to behave in a rockets attack. Only after she gave me the paper I noticed there is a whole group of orange-berets soldiers walking around, giving the papers to people and talking with them.
Most people, I got to admit, were nice but weren’t showing more than a polite interest. No gathering around or looking worried. The streets outside looked like just normal Friday afternoon. Kids playing outside, and people doing shopping.
You could still feel a little bit of tension in the air. I don’t know if it’s cause people here didn’t really fully grasp the new situation or just cause people are tougher than you’d think.
What did look a bit different to me in the supermarket was that everywhere you looked, there was a sign showing the direction to the supermarket’s secured area. I snapped a couple of pictures to share with you:
Signs pointing to the secured area
the sign above the milk
The soldiers and the photographer following them
(which was kicked out of the supermarket by the manager a minute later)
One of the many ads posted all over town calling for a demonstration on Saturday evening.

YouTube war videos
The internet plays a big role in this war, no less then the mainstream media in many cases. It allows people to talk with the other side personally. It allows the sharing of many opinion, images and, thanks to YouTube, also videos.
Here is a partial list. If you know of any other intereting videos I missed, just add them in the comments:
- UN Ambulance Transporting Terrorists
- War in Lebanon: Hezbollah Rockets in Civilian Areas
- Lt.Col. Bill Cowan (another example of hisbollah using human shields)
- Qana: Hezbollah hiding behind civilians
- Hezbollah fire rockets from behind 3 story civilian building
- Hezbollah Propaganda on Al Manar TV
Update: You can doenload some of these videos in a better quality – One, Two, Three and Four (from Kfar Qana).
And a lighter side, I was ROTFL when I heard this guy. Here it is. News with an Australian attitude: 
Note: People, I do not think any videos on lies of the palestinians, the war between radical Islam and the west or any of that sort fits this post. Yes, there are (sadly) many of these on YouTube. And yes, they are important. However, they are not relevent to this post (in my opinion). Only Hezbollah-Israel war related videos, please.

Midnight Snail
Night. Rain. Tierd.
Arriving Home.
A small snail on the sidewalk.
Looking behind him, on the way he may have done.
So much, in such a slow pace.
Had to take a picture.
