This was a great story. I come across this attitude frequently. Our insurance agent, a very nice lady from Tel Aviv, is quite hysterical that our son lives in a "settlement" in the Shomron, our daughter has bought a house in said Shomron, and lives on the northern border. What she can't quite understand is that Israel is mostly border or Judea or Samaria. Tel Aviv is only a tiny part. Luckily she hasn't raised our childrens insurance premiums.
She's very well meaning though and thinks we are heroes. So funny :-)

That was sweet.
It was a beautifully told "only in Israel" story.
I was left with tears in my eyes.
