loud shooting just beside my house...
Just heard it; a volley of about 6 shots outside my house. Everybody is running into the direction of the sounds.
There is screaming outside.

Ajami, Agami or Adjami, or however you spell its name, it's home. In spite of all. The word "home" carries many associations. Mine is located in Jaffa (Yafo), once (meaning before 1948) "The Bride of the Sea", now a slummy southern Tel Aviv suburb.

Hi Yudit,
I hope you are OK.
Have a good shavuot, if you can!
some of my friends etc?
now you are trying to tell me what i should write? thought police?
I really do not like that particular cafe, in fact i boycot the place
Please tell me why you boycot the place, if I ever again might visit I would like to know which joints are a waste of time.
a number of female employees have told me, some years ago, the male owner of the cafe, tried to sexually harass them
As a result i decided to no longer visit the place
The prick should be keelhauled.
You call them allegations and i was careful in my wording because the guy has been known to sue people.
In fact the employees told me so themselves and verbal sexually tinted abuse of an employee happened right in front of me and my partner.
It was shameful and we have never gone back to the place again.
Lirun, there is a huge difference between being nice or being good.
For the doubtful:
Reminds me of last night at my choir rehearsal. One of our bass singers told me that a manager at Bank Hapoalim (he works for them) was suspended after a subcontractor worker complained of sexual harassment. I said, well, then you can be good and sure that she wasn't the first and that this was just the last straw, especially if a temporary contractor (kablan) complained against a permanent manager, that there must be history. He said that yes, and that all the other women in the department refused to work with him and "there's sisterhood for you". I said correct, otherwise they would have thrown her right out of there. He agreed.
This is the only place managed by Neanderthalers or are there any others where decent people should not go too.
