gavers

You realize that Hamas has used the hundreds of tons of concrete Israel has allowed into Gaza, and millions of dollars in aid money to build attack tunnels, right?

They aren't allowed in A and B areas (IIRC) but the Red Crescent has a working relationship with MDA, and Palestinian patients are regularly treated or transferred by MDA ambulances. Especially if they are receiving treatment in Israel.

What are your plans for the video editor, and how can I keep up to date on its progress?

Hey John, I don't know of you are still on or if you'll see this in the flood of comments and orangered.

About a year ago, just after TFiOS celebrated it's first year since publishing, a group of Nerdfighters including myself put together a book that contains the signatures of over 3,000 Nerdfighters from around the world thanking you for your signed books. Our original goal was 150,000 signatures but we didn't make that by the deadline. I know it was delivered to you (via DFTBA Records and not a creepy person just leaving it in your mailbox), and I was wondering what you thought about it? I didn't see a response from you about it at the time and I wondered if you actually saw it.

Thanks for being awesome, Gavi from Israel

Many Israelis travel to South East Asia and South America post army for many reasons:

1) getting away from it all 2) great landscapes and trekking (Israelis love to hike, and if you were in combat, a 25-70km trek is something you are used to) 3) easy access to drugs

People go for all or some of those reasons for periods spanning a few months to a year or more.

It isn't necessarily a spiritual thing or "trying to forget" about negative experiences. After 3+ years in a strict regiment, a 21 year old just wants to let loose.

Edit: as /u/deemosh said correctly, it's also an issue of money. You can travel SE Asia practically on a shoestring for a good 6-8 months.
