As long time Our Shiputzim readers are well aware, this blog generally shies away from discussions of politics and/or current events.
Yet, as a self-proclaimed chronicler of Israeli life, I cannot – in good conscience – ignore this week’s much-hyped home front drill.
After all, according to media reports, our enemies are closely watching, and numerous foreign observers have arrived on the scene.
All of which is extremely amusing.
Because the truth is that this “drill” is really just a brilliantly-conceived plan to ease the country into what would otherwise be the first full workweek since before Pesach…

Why is this the full workweek since before Pesach?
Malke - Last week was Shavuot. The week before that was Yom Yerushalaim. The week before that was Lag Ba'omer. The week before that was Pesach Sheni. The week before that was Yom Ha'atzmaut. The week before that was Yom Hashoah and Rosh Chodesh. The week before that was Pesach.
What, you don't get off on all those days? Maybe you should consider switching jobs...
Well, of course we were off on Pesach sheini. The others were only half a day.
Jameel - Thanks. (Did you get ANY sleep last night?!)
Malke - See YZG's comment.
YZG - :-)
Malke - I assume that when the economy was better, they used to give you whole days?
:-)
Mrs. S: Maybe 3 hours. Im zonked.
Quite amusing remark. Something hadn't noticed.
Jameel - I hope you got some rest last night.
Ilana-Davita - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
