I went to bed at 3 am last night, which was early for me. I had to drive Karin-my beloved spouse to the JFK airport from Hoboken, New Jersey at 7:30 in morning.

I sound like a stay home dad, but I am really more like a robo-dad.
I got back to Hoboken just in time for the Migrant worker on Millennium Development Goals radio program, which I produce and direct. We had added a news segment and none of the hosts would dare read any negative news on Israel, base on its treatment of the Eritrean refugees. I was thinking to myself Israel my beloved country and people, how did it happen that you have become a threat in the heart of societies that help establish your security and legitimacy. Even, I have have fought live threatening battles on behalf of Israel growing up in a German culture. But I quickly resolved that by thinking that is evolution as my busy schedule kicked in. Phone calls from Malaysia, India, Senegal, Nepal, Botswana, UK, US, South Africa, just as I was about to grab a breath...
