The In T View: Israeli Bloggers On The Israeli - Hezb'allah/Lebanon Conflict: West Bank Mama

"In this In T View, we present a female Israeli blogger, West Bank Mama, who's living on the edge, raising a family in the hot zone of Samaria on Israel's West Bank, and describes it all in her nice blog, the aptly named West Bank Blog.

MG: How has the Conflict personally affected you?

West Bank Mama: The war has affected me "personally" by changing my blogging - I write mostly about the war now, instead of about general Israeli politics and about my own family life as an Orthodox Jew. It has affected many of my close friends much more seriously. Four of my friends have husbands who have been called up for reserve duty in Lebanon, and a few have sons fighting there. I try to offer emotional support to these women, and here and there do something nice for them by inviting them for a meal. We also hosted some kids from the north of Israel who needed to get away from the bomb shelters for a while - so they came to our settlement in Samaria and we spoiled them for a few days."
