There are all the same
Is it just me?
I know it's not the same, but for some reason it is...

oops, we did it again
Well... It's "groundhog day". Today we woke up to a new but not so different day.
The 2015 elections are over and nothings has really changed, again.
Now, people always say to me "you live in a bubble", and it's true, I actually do.
But because I'm living in Tel Aviv, a young, colorful, tolerant international city, I always tend to forget it is still just a city within a country that apparently is nothing like my little bubble at all :-(
It seems that in Israel 2015 the minority (i.e. my bubble's dwellers and a few others good souls) is trying like hell to "do good" for the rest of the country while the second is doing its best not to comply.
Well I don't know what's the best course of action right now... Whether to keep on fighting or just forget about it all and become numb or maybe just get the fuck out.
Being an optimist, I'll most probably stay here and keep trying my best (in my humble ways) to change things for the better. But the truth is, I am loosing fate, and I am NOT the believing kind.

Heros?
In 2009's Quentin Tarantino "Inglorious bastards" there's a story about Fredrick Zoller, a Nazi sniper. Apparently he was so successful that they made a movie based on his "accomplishments".
In the movie the entire Nazi party, including Hitler himself celebrated the sniper's story by attending his movie premier.
Now, in 2014 America is celebrating its famous sniper in a movie which is "also" based on a true story (I am not compering the two characters). And it seems like the entire country is going to this premier.
So it got me thinking, haven't we learned anything? Is it important in this day and age to glorify violence, (just or not)? And what message are we sending our kids?
