a few nights ago, i basically had my hand on the door to leave the building when a group of guys runs by the building yelling. we hear gun shots, see flashes, and all of a sudden our counselors are tellings us to go upstairs and back away from the windows. what the hell is going on, right? so everyone runs out to the balconies upstairs, and 50-100 ft away in front of hebrew u and in the parking lots, arabs guys are amassing and coming out of the woodwork, throwing stones, hand grenades. thenw e get a group text making us go inside and stay in out rooms. no ones knows whats going on! then the police come so theyre are sirens and tear gas explosions. and then we can smell tear gas and even feel it a little. eventually the riot gets broken up, but we cant leav the building for a day. good thing no one let the arabs in on our little secret ... that the american zionist headquarters was about 25 steps away from the university! oour building looks like a piece of shit from the outside and says nothing about america or zionism on the sign... something about hadassah youth center. so we were covered! turns out the riot was in response to an arab getting shot for an attempted car stealing up on french hill. there is still broken glass outside our buiding from all the car windows that got broken. ahhhhh!

last night, i was at the 10 yr anniversary rally of yitzchak rabin's assasination. there wre hundreds of thouisands of israelis there, singing, sitting, standing, with huge protest and support signs and singers, speakers. it was so moving, everyone there together. highlight of the night: bill clinton made the closing speech! so much fun!! hilary was there too.

ok, i have to go to class now. love you all so much!
