After a very short illusion of calm, missile fire toward central Israel has resumed.

Hatred cam move. It begins somewhere not far away, fueled by slogans, anger and revenge. And eventually it arrives somewhere completely different. Yesterday it reached a synagogue in Michigan.

Despite the war, despite the missile barrages, tomorrow I plan to go back to the gym. If I'm going to live through these absurd times, I might as well stay in shape for them.

Apparently some of the Iranian missiles landed in the sea. So naturally I started wondering…

Not from a Safe Distance Stories from Israelis trying to find their way home.

From Thai spas… to Egyptian checkpoints… to the 63rd floor of a hotel in Dubai, watching missiles overhead. A post built from the stories of people stuck far from home.

No matter where you are, there are always those who just need to share their opinion.

Tips from the safe room:
Singing in the shower is not recommended when a siren goes off.

Last night I dreamed that a siren woke me up. That’s when I realized that the war is no longer only outside, it Invaded into my subconscious.

I heard a rumor that in some places people wake up to emails and calendar reminders, and not to a storm of messages like these.

This illustration is dedicated to everyone who ever wondered what missiles do in their spare time. (I hope it’s not just me...).

Last night’s program included three sirens, a random number of missiles, and one very sleepless Nemo.

In times of war and chaos, beauty becomes a fragile thing. And that’s exactly why it matters.

Things you learn after two and a half years of war: How to recognize different types of explosions, and estimate their distance from you- just by listening.

Life Between the Sirens Missiles above, people below, and the search for something that still feels like normal.

Somewhere between the alerts and the interceptions, this post was written. Because in Israel, even a post needs a protected space. New illustrated notes from life on the Israeli home front.

With everything happening here and around the world, sometimes it feels like I’ve lost something along the way. Maybe it’s fatigue, or overload, or maybe it’s something that got buried in the noise.

In war, disinformation is another front. So not every narrative deserves your trust.

I realized yesterday that since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion, I haven’t posted any illustrations. So I’ll begin sharing the ones I drew, between the shelling, and sometimes during it. This is the first.

Purim is the reminder to the smile, and to pass it on. Even when the script looks dark, because
the ending can surprise us.
Happy Purim.

Life in the shadow of war is written in commas, not complete sentences. Each part of the day exists in the pauses between sirens and distant explosions.

It seems we can take out the noisemakers. Yes, now it’s reported as official: Iran’s Supreme Leader has been killed. A modern Haman. History has strange timing.

Between the missile barrages, I found time for lunch. Good times.

Apparently due to Israeli attacks on Iran, sirens were activated throughout Israel.
