Today 78 years ago Raoul Wallenberg disappeared. I light a kindle to remember this extraordinary hero. Not all of us can be heroes like Wallenberg - but all of us can to something to fight antisemitism and racism of today.

Sorry to state the obvious. What is happening in Ukraine is not a crisis, not two parties that need to de-escalate. It is an aggression, a war. Let us not imply a parity that does not exist. Russia, and Russia alone, is responsible.

Testade positivt för Covid när jag landade i Israel förra helgen. Nu frisk. Hade mycket milda symptom - ett innerligt tack till de forskare som skapade vaccinet. Om du inte är vaccinerad, gör det. Tryggheten för mig i isoleringen var vetskapen om de tre sprutornas skydd.
