The Insane Photo of the Day
Purim partying in Tel Aviv today.

Newly confirmed cases up, critically ill and on ventilators down, dead remain about the same. Unfortunately, given the egregious violations of restrictions last night and today at Purim parties taking place everywhere, we can expect a jump in the numbers next week.
The continuing oil spill . . .
Thousands of volunteers have been out on Israel’s beaches ever since the disaster hit Israel’s coast. Still, the scale of the environmental catastrophe is hard to comprehend.
Now, there is another oil slick about to hit the Haifa area, and yet another one seems destined to strike the southern coast.
The Health Ministry has forbidden any swimming or water sports, and merely sitting on the beach is prohibited because of the toxic fumes.
Iran strikes? . . .
It is suspected that the explosion that occurred on board the Israeli ship in the Persian Gulf was caused by Iran.
The ship which was carrying vehicles had just left the Saudi port of Dammam and was headed toward Singapore when the explosion took place.
It is now at port in Oman where the British Navy reports that the crew and vessel are in good condition.
TODAY’S BLOG:
Surprise Surprise
Your humble servant admits surprise about the U.S. attack on Iranian positions in Syria last night which apparently killed 17 Revolutionary Guards. At the same time, the White House announced that while it still wants a nuclear deal, it is not about to eliminate sanctions–a key Iranian demand.
So what just happened?
What happened was the Iranian proxy attack on the AFB in Iraq which resulted in two Americans, a soldier and a contractor, being killed. Apparently, Biden wanted to send a message that those kinds of attacks on Americans will not be tolerated.
Of course, your humble servant is not delusional and would guess this is just a bump in the Biden-Ayatollah road.
Nevertheless, one can only assume that the powers in Tehran are miffed. Here they seemed to have Biden and his minions eating out of their hand, and now they have to figure out how to deal with the American strike.
To top all of this off, we have word today from the IAEA that Iran has now refined 25 kg of uranium to 20%.
And so it goes.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
