Protesters call Operation Pillar of Defense "election campaign" for Netanyahu, chant "children in Sderot, Gaza want peace."

Photo: Ben Hartman A few hundred Israelis protested against Operation Pillar of Defense in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, calling on the government to reach an immediate cease-fire with Hamas in Gaza.
The demonstrators called the military operation an “election campaign” for Netanyahu, and chanted “Children in Sderot and Gaza want peace,” as well as calls against the “occupation.”
Protester Yuval Itah said the demonstration was about “Jews and Arabs together calling for a cease-fire,” adding, “I don’t care any more about Jews than I do about Palestinians in Gaza, I don’t anyone to die...”
When asked how to stop the rockets against the south of Israel, he said, “Through peace” and by pursuing dialogue with Hamas.
Holding a sign that read “stop shooting, start talking,” Anat Mendelsohn Machis said the war was meant in large part “to keep the public from talking about social issues, which is not Bibi’s [Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s] strong suit. Instead, now we’re all talking about war only.” She also called for Israel to stop the rockets through dialogue with Hamas.

ESTOY HECHA DE RETAZOS-POEMA de CARO CAROLINA

      Estelas en la mar 7   · Estoy hecha de retazo S     Estoy hecha de retazos, pedacitos coloridos de cada vida que pasa por la mía y que voy cosiendo en el alma.   No siempre son bonitos, ni siempre felices, pero me agregan y me hacen ser quien soy.   En cada encuentro, en cada contacto, voy quedando mayor. En cada retazo una vida, una lección, un cariño, una nostalgia... Que me hacen más persona, más humana, más completa.   Y pienso que es así como la vida se hace: de pedazos de otras gentes que se van convirtiendo en parte de uno también. Y la mejor parte es que nunca estaremos listos, finalizados. Siempre habrá un retazo para añadir al alma.   Por lo tanto, gracias a cada uno de ustedes, que forman parte de mi vida y que me permiten engrandecer mi historia con los retazos dejados en mí.    Que yo también pueda dejar pedacitos de mí por los caminos y que puedan ser parte de sus historias.   Y que así, de retazo en...

To cover the awkward moment Dr. May field started asking questions. "How long have you worked here?" "I've worked here almost since the place opened," the maid replied. "What can you tell me about the history of this place?" he asked. "I don't think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something." With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, "That's the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan." "Who's Annie?" the doctor asked. Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She'd bite and scream ...

http://www.archivohistoricoconcepcion.cl/biblioteca-digital/autores/rolando-saavedra/ He leido con no pocas emociones este magnífico recuento de la historia de la querida familia de la cual heredé dos hijxs maravillosos, Yanina Andrea Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacida en Concepción, y Tomás Alejo Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacido durante nuestro exilio con Ricardo Alberto Hinrichsen Ramírez en Glasgow, Escocia.  Como casi todo ya está dicho por el autor, no me faltaría tal vez más que agregar algunas fotos de las decenas que atesoro.  Mientras decido cual/es, saludo al autor, Don Rolando, y le reitero mi agradecimiento por su esmerado y logrado esfuerzo de investigación para llevar a su conclusión a este valioso nuevo libro suyo que, con su acostumbrada g enerosidad, nos ha compartido.
