Tel-Aviv During the War

The first days in Tel-Aviv were hard. We were all frustrated. But now, life is back to normal. It's all "business as usual". Last night there was the Opera in the Park. They played Verdi's "Rigoletto". Thousands of Tel-Avivians came to watch the free event - a full production of the famous opera. It was easy to forget about the war while listening to "La Donna e mobile".

People in Tel-Aviv laugh, smile. People in Tel-Aviv go on dates, go to the movies, go to restaurants. I've just come back from the pub.

But there is something below the surface. Something bad, dark. We try to ignore the war. We try to escape it. But it's there. It's haunting us. The way we drive the car, the way we talk, the way we lose our temper. The war is in us all. That's why we hate it.
