I find myself weeping again for Lebanon
By Virginia Trioli

Lebanese families have been told to flee homes that they might never be able to return to, and families are setting up tents for an uncertain and dangerous life on the streets of Beirut all because of a conflict not of their making, brought about by another state.

Happy Good Friday and Passover.

Enjoying that many countries have today off. Hoping for a quiet Friday.

I just boosted my toots from around Hanukkah.

In my attempt to reclaim my ethnic Jewishness, I held a Seder with my kids tonight for Passover. It was awkward and I'm sure I did things poorly. I definitely have thoughts on how I would do it again next year, but I'm so glad I did this.

I feel more of a connection to my tribe just...I don't know how else to describe it.

It was good. It annoys me what I've missed.

We seem to be having a lot of difficulty telling the difference between #religion and #nationality. It's not hard:

#Islam, #Judaism and #Christianity are religions.

#Israeli, British or #Iranian are nationalities.

Don't use "Muslim" as a nationality; it isn't one. Neither is "Jewish".

There, that's much clearer, isn't it? 👍 😀
