primaries

Today I voted in the primaries of the Meretz political party in Israel.
I joined Meretz several years ago when my friend, who is actualy one of the candidates today, Dr. Laura Wharton, was running for Jerusalem City Council. She asked me to join the party to support her.
I looked at the party's values and discovered that they included equality for all, helping the weak and disadvantaged, support for those who are different and minorities and pluralism: accepting everyone, whoever you are.
My voting list today included Laura, as I think she needs to be on the national stage, my friend Eliran, whom I wrote about yesterday in my blog, and my friend, Anat Nir, an incredible feminist who does incredible work for feminism and the weak.
During my time in Meretz, one person I met who really made a massive difference in my life is MK Mossi Raz. He is a guy who finds the time for everyone and makes an effort to be everywhere and cares for everyone. I knew we need to have him on our list.
For chairperson, I chose Zahava Galon for a comeback to bring her leadership skills and experience.
I am now awaiting the results and look forward to bringing to the Knesset peace, equality, plurlism, and change to Israeli society.
On a different note, my stuff from Israel that I shipped over to the UK, arrived today, so I am pleased to be finally sitting in my armchair and relaxing!

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
