went to a settlement today

in jerusalem. but i forgot the name. i was aghast. i suppose everything i had heard. really cheap land (it was stolen after all so houses cost $20,000 in settlements, pools, sidewalks, israeli flags abounded, malls, armed security at the front) 

west jerusalem is just flooded with jews. it's like a european city. chic...white... sexy coffee shops...Black minority from Ethiopia tending to the entrails of the white folks... 

my two most negative experiences with men have both been in (east) jerusalem. i certainly do not think this is specific to men in east jerusalem but after the one dude called me bintil haram today another guy (who helped me find a falafel restaurant) asked me if i wanted to go get a hotel room with him. he then proceeded to tell me that i could help him with his english, he with my arabic and that he could also "teach me about some other things."

i think the universal, transcontinental rule is men, with the exception of maybe like 1,000 (in the entire world), are all pieces of shit.
