netanyahu and abbas met in washington d.c. it feels foolish and naive to be hopeful and i have yet to discuss this latest development with any living soul for fear of allowing unwarranted optimism to creep into my conversation. (last night the headline was palestinians do 180 degree turnabout on negotiations. this morning: erekat says netanyahu dragging his heels.) but phil weiss calls the talks a "farce" which shows where his heart is and walt no longer references mondoweiss on his blog. amnesty international has attacked the attack on settlers last week, there is some argument regarding this on mondo. obviously they should not be there (in the west bank) obviously if they are going to be there, they need to be armed. obviously this should not be used as an excuse to harass palestinians.
personal notes: shabbos was lonely. i went to the city last night late and walked back via aza. arabic "progresses". my lamp went out. got e mail from joe greenholtz. need to call larry vis a vis my books. harold proved useless. he is ducking creditors. i am making progress getting godthoughts down to a minimum. no intention to hear the shofar blowing. mich norm phone call after shabbat- more pain, but nothing specific. wrote e mail to joyce. the girl in the ahava got a shach and taz. shazz means exception (arabic). need to get back on track vis a vis liberty and vis a vis angriest and vis a vis bmp, which is too many, so i need to choose. many thoughts of education, but few actions.
