Lior, if labeling me a cafe type makes you feel better about disagreeing with me, that is certainly your prerogative. However, you really need to bring some counter-arguments to the discussion table if you want me to take you seriously. You can write in Hebrew if you don't feel comfortable expressing yourself in English. As for what I do and what I see in my work, rest assured that very little of it is inside West Bank restaurants. I do not write about the vast majority of my experiences- mostly because I don't think feel like dealing with the reactions of readers who have never seen or experienced those things. Also, most of my friends are ordinary Israelis - you know, the kind who have three kids, a mortgage on a small apartment, a job in high tech and a car they get through company leasing. They do not seem to think that I understand them any less than I did four years ago.
