You know, I don't get it. Since when are you not allowed to ask a Chinese man where a Chinese restaurant is? I mean, aren't we getting a little too sensitive here? If someone asks me, "which direction is Israel," I don't go flying off the handle.

Yom Ha'Shoah



Today is Yom Ha'Shoah in Israel...Holocaust Remembrance Day.

At 10 a.m. this morning, a siren went off throughout the whole country. Everything and everyone stopped for one minute.

People stopped walking and stood still in the street.

Cars and buses came to a halt in the middle of the highway.

Jerusalem's busy and bustling Machane Yehuda market fell silent.

Life stopped for one minute as we all listened to that siren. I have to say...it was chilling. And I'm glad I was here for it.

Never again. Think about it...
