Great pictures you shared. I’m really curious about Kibbutzim. It’s like a lotus, which remains uncorrupted by the wars and difficulties surrounding it.

I can’t visit Gaza, regardless of the ongoing war right now. It’s out of bounds for Israeli, plus you can’t just cross over. Not that I would have wanted to, I doubt that the famous Arab hospitality would have been extended towards Israelis…

Well good to see that you visit Gaza just before the Isareli attacks. That would be “fun”

I was a volunteer at Kibbutz Or Haner in July and August 1973 and 1974. Visited again during a business trip in 1998 and then with my family in 1999. It is a wonderful place with great people. I am still very close with the Wolfe family. The kibbutz is not entirely Argentinian. There are other South Americans from Columbia, Mexico, etc.

These are great pictures for what seems like a great trip. I have always meant to visit Israel but have yet to get the chance. It would be so cool to see such an old city with so much history.

For those wondering… maybe I should clarify lol
We live in the same home and share the same bed, but we still sometimes communicate online! In fact, ever since we have our laptop, I’ve been known to call ID on Skype and initiate video calls from one room to another

I guess my wit didn’t make it through… I was trying to caption the picture in the words of our Dan. I do respect “the Elders”, of course, and everything they did – our silver plate and all that. I was just trying to convey a five year old’s point of view, where a bus ride or a concrete pile to climb on is much more exciting than listening to history.

Nice post dear, but with few corrections:
The monument of some “ancient war” you mentioned was the monument of “Yiftach” brigade in our war of Independent (’48 war, for the non-Israelis). All the trip you were surrounded by “ancient” people (including my parents) who fought in this war and were talking about their life in that time. Actually the trip partiayl followed some bitter battles where some of these veterans fought.
About the Kibbutzim near Gaza – This Kibbutz was almost never hit, but closer kibbutzim suffered many attacks, including 120mm mortars attacks.
