Today's post was meant to be discussing the interview with the Australian IDF soldier, however, he later revealed to us that he suffers from several mental disorders - Asperger's syndrome, post traumatic stress disorder and bipolar disorder - and we felt it inappropriate for us to prostitute his experiences or to present him as a typical IDF soldier. This does however bring into question as to why the IDF would accept someone as unstable as he into such a volatile and high intensity situation.
The interview went on till 5am and then we all headed to bed for a long and immediate sleep. Waking around 1pm, Anthony and Gary set off to explore the cosmopolitan centre of Tel Aviv, leaving David and Hala to discover the beauty of the traditional Jaffa. Jaffa offered quant architecture, old docks, awe inspiring vistas and a floating tree (pictures to come). We finished the day watching the sunset on the beach, returning later for sunrise.
See you again,
Hala, Anthony, Gary and David
