Hmm, let’s see here:

  • donated more items to the Vietnam Veterans of America
  • even though I was “technically” on holiday, I did answer calls from one of my assistants who was in a bind and didn’t want to ask anyone else
  • I hosted a tasting at my house for a small group of friends (I hate hosting BTW)
  • helped a friend with her homework in chemical and molecular pharmacology
  • I left generous tips and thank you note at restaurants that provided great customer service while I was on vacation

    What is that one dream you have given up on, but you still think about sometimes? The one you used to pray about, plan for, and talk about with so much excitement. Life happened, responsibilities came, people laughed at it, or it just did not work out the way you wanted. So you quietly let it go and moved on. But once in a while, maybe when you are alone, or when you see someone else living it, it comes back to your mind. What was that dream, why did you give up on it, and do you still wish deep down that you could try it one more time?

      The Arrest of Abed Abu Shehadeh

      A Balestinian citizen of Israel, a journalist and editor at the Haifa-based news site Arab48;  a contributor to +972 Magazine and The New Arab; a former elected member of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa City Council, and head of the Islamic Council in Jaffa; also a senior activist in the Balad party.

      On the night of November 3, 2026 — one week after Israel’s October 27 general election — the Shin Bet raided his family’s apartment in Jaffa, and took him to a Shin Bet facility in Petah Tikva.  The Shin Bet suspected him of spying for a foreign country.  The Mossad has a reputation of employing spies to gather intelligence upon foreign enemies.  The Shin Bet and police suspect the “foreign agent” as Azmi Bishara whom Abu Shehadeh interviewed in Qatar for his podcast.  Bishara,  a former Knesset member living in exile, accused by Israel of espionage and treason related to the 2006 Lebanon War. 

      On November 4, the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Magistrate’s Court extended his detention to November 8, rejecting a police request for eight days. Abu Shehadeh’s lawyers, including the rights group Adalah, argued the arrest was illegal. On November 8, police and the Shin Bet declined to seek a further extension, and he was released from the Petah Tikva facility without any charges being filed. He was required to surrender his passport.  The Abu Shehadeh case involved a single journalist held for five days over a public interview, with no charges filed.

      Abu Shehadeh had traveled to Qatar partly to serve as a political analyst for Al Jazeera on the election.  Al Jazeera resembles to the British propaganda rags Guardian and BBC. Bishara himself rejected the “foreign agent” label, describing himself as “a researcher, writer, and a progressive, liberal democrat.”  In short: this interview, a pre-election political conversation about Arab voter participation and the future of Balestinian citizens in Israel — the kind of interview any journalist might conduct with a prominent political figure, regardless of where that figure happens to be based.

      Abu Shehadeh the first cousin of Sami Abu Shehadeh, the current Balad party leader and former Knesset member (2019–2022), disqualified from the October 2026 election over an article he wrote the day after the October 7 Hamas attack. His political career: rooted in grassroots, municipal-level Balestinian civic engagement in Jaffa — not in national (Knesset) politics — though his Balad affiliation and family ties place him within the broader Balestinian nationalist movement inside Israel.
