 years ago The United Nations voted to partition Palestine. The vote went  33 yeas 13 nos 10 abstentions- immediately The region plunged into war Arab league chairman Mr  Pasha  was quoted - "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres"- Despite insurmountable odds, in a modern day miracle The Israelis prevailed.  On this date The  Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and the oldest Torah in Aleppo Syria was Burned some 200 pages of were preserved.........

Seasons Greetings,

            And Happy Thansgivings. Into the 4th week of the Sentence or Experiment at Gideon's, and one thing for certain i can add to my Resume; Nebbish...... A side swiping incident with a semi Trailer at 7:18 in the morning on 10th Ave and the Twenties, has rendered me car less for the past several days. Driving the car to the dealership on 11th ave with a falling bumper, with out incident, That is of course  until the estimated damage report came up. I have yet to pick up the Police report, so it's unclear whose the Guilty party. The only thing that i can say for certain is that all those waiting with me on line at  enterprise car rental would rather have been at the Dentist office....In a strange twist, me and HRG( Human rights girl) Paths crossed again, via a  really good conversation, regarding why the status of our dating was ephemeral. Win, lose or draw we decided to get together in a very nonchalant manner. We ate a little drank a little perhaps more, and when the night was over some drinks were spilled innocuously; not on me,  and the statuts of the potential and nasacent realtionship has been upgraded. Certainly their has not been any weighty talks.... yet, But for certain it'll come should the situation progress........

Week

 Two of my Sentence at Gideon's has passed, and fulfillment of the Agreement has been the only inspiration. In Hopes the "sentence" be commuted.  The Stresses of the day, has completely disconnected me from any semblance of normal life. Not to say my life was normal but at least i was able to read a lot and follow the day's events.......On the other hand I have been connecting with several overqualified, overtly cultured, Professional Middle aged Jewish Woman Seeking the "Real Deal". As  Defined in the Miriam Websters Dating dictionary as Either  Good looking enough to sleep with on the first date, or The Moshiach who will whisk them away on the White Horse........ If anything good came out of a date with  "Mom Jeans wearing, A lot Nosh Eating girl" a couple years ago besides seeing a lesbian that resembled Jack Sikma the  former Great Sonic and Bucks Center, Was Finding out about the Stone Rose Lounge.  After hardly Exchanging any particulars online, HMG ( Heschel Mom Girl) Suggested we get together in Somewhere in her area and see how things go, Her investment a Two Block walk from Columbus circle,  Mine a Stopover after a Saturday night delivery on the UWS, and  plus neither of us had something to do. A Finance Executive Some Fifteen years past her prime, her looks Still belied her AK- 47 Years of age, or perhaps the Dim lights played a role . Throughout the conversation the only Thoughts that were Infused in my mind, were just thoughts. As the night ended  the  "Geography" or roughly the Twelve Miles between us  proved to be the Major Hurdle  in me being the "Real Deal". We exchanged Artificial Behatzlacha's , and went back to our phones to see what's coming up next..........

Going at it alone,

          This time with HRG( Human Rights girl ). Their was no Inspirational Advice from my SIL,  no cheat sheets on Food orders, and most importantly No Irving. Going through the Humdrum Sparse Texts for a few days prior to our Tuesday night date , left me perplexed, and thinking " Why are we going out again "? . The Truth of the matter is we did have a good time on all Three prior occasions and Despite feeling like I struck out, I still did get on Base with the Strike Three past ball, and no not the base you're thinking of. Making Reservations at an uninspiring Pedestrian Restaurant, I found it very random that they had us wait a while to be seated. Some Fifteen minutes later, we opted for the  especially comfortable chairs of the sushi bar. "Had " Irving" been around none of this would've happened". None the Less she approved the Arrangement. Tired as an Elephant after running the Marathon, My game was way off. Looking appealing with her black sleeveless top, We spoke elections. Face book, Work , and everything else NOT pertaining to a potential relationship. Maybe she was uncomfortable, maybe me, None the less I enjoyed her company.  Taking the longer route on the short ride home, hoping to crack through the insipid conversation, by that time we both knew that our paths would not cross again. It made more and more sense now, why she always completely  turned the other Cheek every time  i kissed her hello or goodbye on the cheek Generically, one would say she's a great girl, I'd correct and say shes a girl with a lot of great qualities. No Church on Sunday............

Erection Day

      At Gideon's can be a little controversial due to the Melting Pot of the Staff . The Hispanics all vote for the Democractics, "of course We can't  Vote for the "White-ass" Though Coumo Technically is a white ass.  Our Asian Pharmacists took little offense when I wished her a happy Erection day, and of course Jews vote for the Money, Seems right were all rich. A favorite  Elections Story, when A green party candidate for governor in Illinois in 2012  had his name misspelled in several African American Districts as RICH WHITEY, for those scoring at home the N is missing.........Living by the motto " Pacta sundt Servende" or agreements must be honored, I just hope I am still alive to live through the Gideon Back to Gideon's Experiment. It's been the first week of the Minimum 24 week Sentence..........

After My past

           Failure at Gideon's, Coming back to reinvigorate and profitisize the franchise has become personal. I wont quote the Best their ever was Roy Hobbs and say " Tomorrow, I wouldn't be against me", But it's looking more like I would bet against. A Major concern  the lack of  Proper #2 accommodations and of course this is a restroom I need to share with Seven others Perhaps more, A certain change in my Diet is Essential........Looking like it's going nowhere me and HRG ( Human rights girl ) are in all likely hood on the Offs.  Some non specific Texts, and a voice message I left for her Friday Afternoon was the only communication since Tuesday Night. Replying in Text she'll call me back Tomorrow, I fully expect to not hear from her, and their just doesn't seem to be any eagerness from both sides to continue. Despite being a little expensive I learned some very valuable dating lesson for the Future, My SIL is not to happy with me, Thinking Tinder is playing a role in the non fulfillment of the potential relationship. I objected Truculently, Arguing  that When you meet someone that Provides that Excitement, Nothing else will matter, and besides iv'e all but eliminated Tinder, but She probably thinks i just want to get Some A$$... No Broken Hearts, No Apology's, No Regrets But Yes Their will be Church on Sunday...........

The Rabin Legacy

        November 4th 1995, Israel will commemorate the 19th Anniversary of the Assassination  their Beloved former PM Yitzhak Rabin. His legacy as a fighter,commander, Chief of staff, Defense Minister and The Prime Minister who delivered Peace to his People, Propelled him to be voted one of the All time Greatest Israelis.  Had That regretful, cataclysmic calamitous fateful moment  on that dreary Nov Saturday night, when a right Wing Assassin under "G0ds" orders or perhaps  Someone else's shot Three bullets into Rabin not occurred, History would perhaps Judge the" greatest Israeli" in a different light.
                The Career of one of Israel's greatest military minds, began in the Palamach, The elite fighting force of the Hagana ( Defense Underground) . During the 1948 War of Independence Rabin as an officer was tasked to lead several different operations. Most notably at " Feja" and a critical operation to open the roads to Besieged Jerusalem and the Gush Etzion Block. Under his command the missions were colossal failures, an led to his dismissal from his posts. Accusations of leaving the battlefield in other missions were also leveled. During the 1956  Sinai Campaign  "Operation Kadesh" Rabin was a non participant at any level. As Chief of Staff in during the 1967 "Six day War" under prodigious pressure Rabin Suffered a nervous breakdown or in his words " Nicotine Poison" that rendered him invalid for 48 hours and left many questions his impact on the lighting quick Israeli victory. When the Top Military brass summoned and called in many former retired generals and commanders ( bar lev, ben Ari, Sharon etc.)  to help During the "Yom Kippur war" of 1973, No one found it odd that Rabin's Phone did not ring. His Security career resumed  as Defense Minister during the Arab Intifidah or Uprising of 1988, Where for Two Years he failed miserably in quelling the violence and only after his Resignation for his role in the " Stinking trick " affair in 1990 did the violence subside. Perhaps some things that were left off the Security and Military Resume...
                Often Praised as " Neki kappaim" A biblical phrase meaning clean Hands or Honest. The Israeli Honest Abe, whom upon when it was discovered that at the time it was illegal for a Prime minister to have foreign banks with out hesitation tendered his resignation, hidden from the public was that Attorney general Aharon Barack would  level serious charges against him, should he not step down  and relented that his resignation was enough of a punishment to pursue things further. Innocently and with great naivety Rabin, to the Thunderous Cheers at the White House Lawn Shouted "Enough" as he signed off on the " Oslo Accords" or the Hutna the temporary Truce Between Israelis and Palestinians, that led to the deaths of 1500+  Israelis over the course of the Oslo accords, that have been viewed as treacherous and now about to become null and void.  After Nineteen years, the Question Still Looms What If ?  Where would the situation be, What if the Peace rally would have ended peacefully?  Would history be as kind to Yitzhak Rabin......
