apologies, avdat and suicide bombers who love soccer

Ok, so this blog is just barely hobbling along. And it seems that every other post is an apology for not posting more often... which is a bit lame really lame. So I'm not going to even bother with the apologies anymore (I think I've said that before too...)
Anyway.
I just wanted to share a couple of quick things: first of all, it seems that when you do a search for Avdat, Israel the second page that comes up is this one. (Of course, this is only true today. A week from now, neither of those links I've provided will have anything to do with each other, but such is the nature of the never static, always evolving interweb)
I also want to share this with you all. Because I'm still in Israel. And because there was another bombing in Tel Aviv yesterday. And I really want to know who these people are. And would these organizations really survive if they didn't exploit the ignorance of people like this? Is it really any different than getting five-year-olds to fight your wars?
(In a seperate yet related note, Hamas has just spent $180,000 trying to improve their image. Some of the suggestions? · Say you are not against Israelis as Jews, · Don't talk about destroying Israel, · Do talk about Palestinian suffering, · Don't celebrate killing people and · Change beard colour (if red). Seems like they really got their money's worth...)
