I’m going to save myself a few future emails, by answering your question before you ask. Four who have already written have said:<\/p>\n

I have just been checking the news in Israel and having read about the recent events in regards to Lebanon, was wondering what your take on the whole situation is since Israel is now fighting on two fronts. From my computer screen, it looks like it might be getting scary over there<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just wanted to see if there was any update from you all on the current situation in Israel. Any thoughts or what you are hearing about the seriousness of the situation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My plans to take 5 little boys camping in about an hour are unchanged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
