Driving from the Ben Gurion airport, I notice orange ribbons attached to cars. They represent people who are against "disengagement" from Gaza.
As we pull onto the highway, groups of people stand waving towards our car with blue and white ribbons. These ribbons are pro-disengagement.
"Stop!" I cry out, "I want one!"
We stops and they give us two. I tie mine to my bag. Am relieved. Now I can walk about Israel and know that I am still a part of Peace Now - just as I was before I left in 1988. My visit has begun.
Wow. Once you live there, you always live there, in some sense, isn't that so?

That's got to be some sort of record for rapid (re)immersion, I think. But, good for you!

How amazing that you can represent your belief in what's the best future with the ease of a ribbon, and that you got one and tied it to your bag... nothing but admiration for you here!

What's your impression of the relative percentages of the two different ribbons?
