Although we might wish differently (thanks to the recent <a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/12/02/news/UN_GEN_UN_Palestinians_Israel.php">UN voting</a>), Israel is in fact part of this world and as such, commemorated this day along with the rest of the "civilized" world. Out of curiosity, I made my way to the Tel Aviv Cinematheque that afternoon to check out the scene. It was pretty dead to my surprise. I had thought the significance of the event in a liberal city like Tel Aviv would have brought out more people (or at least the appeal of "free food"), especially on such a nice day. There was a photo exhibit which displayed the work of some carriers of the virus, along with a screening of an AIDS-related movie. Medical personnel administered free HIV tests as well (I knew there was a reason to carry my teudat zahut around). So after 25 years of this horrible epidemic, my loyal readers, how might you expect to commemorate this unifying cause? Gee, I don't know...how about by having two Israeli sperm/gevers* kick around a pink soccer ball in a condom-shaped balloon? Just a thought... <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eC_CacGjgfA/RXSXHH8tO-I/AAAAAAAAAAM/Srs2imFLFXU/s1600-h/IMG_1662.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eC_CacGjgfA/RXSXHH8tO-I/AAAAAAAAAAM/Srs2imFLFXU/s400/IMG_1662.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004791234564013026" border="0" /></a>"Ehhhh....Shmulik, how mahch lohn-ger?
