It is not good that man is alone

Study: Being Alone As Bad As Smoking, Excessive Drinking - I don't know how much money was spent on the study which came up with the conclusion, that "too much alone time may shorten your life."  They could have saved themselves the money had they just referred to the second Chapter in the Torah  to come up with the same conclusion in which G-d declares, " "It is not good that man is alone; I shall make him a helpmate opposite him." (2:18)

The U.N. condemned the demoltion of over 100 homes in Rafah - (Egypt demolishes 1,020 Rafah homes for Gaza buffer zone) oh sorry, it was Egypt who demolished the homes-so there's no story there. Let's move on to Israel.

Responding to “Testy Tom” Friedman of the NYT

After the 2006 Palestinina elections, Thomas Friedman was asked in an interview about the Hamas victory..

I think that Hamas is a terrorist organization, but I also think that it won a free and fair election and if it’s going to be ousted or it’s going to be de-legitimized, then I think that’s for the Palestinians to decide.
...You know we have a saying in journalism, Nayan, as you know, “Never be smarter than the story. When the story is speaking to you, then shut up and listen. Okay. Because all the stories I got wrong, I was talking when I should have been listening. Well, this story is speaking to us. And so when the story is speaking to you, just shut up. Okay, and let’s listen to the story.
