Bibi and Me
This morning, Steve and I were having coffee and hot chocolate, respectively, at a local coffee shop; he was teaching me some Hebrew grammar that I have failed to understand. Suddenly, two sunglass- and khaki-clad men walked in and started looking around. They looked intently at us, studying the intricacies of Hebrew grammar and then proceeded to talk into their lapel and then stood guard outside.
About ten minutes later, former Prime Minister (from 1996 to 1999), current leader of the Likud party, and our neighbor Binyamin Netanyahu, flanked by two additional khaki dudes, walked into the coffee shop and sat down at the table next to us. His two bodyguards flanked him as he proceeded to talk on his cell phone and order coffee.
About twenty minutes later, people arrived to meet with Bibi and they had a conversation and then I left. It made a typical Jerusalem Friday morning a very one exciting for me!

Question is, did he pay his bill? There was an article in Kol Ha'ir a few years ago right after he lost the election about his habit of stiffing restaurants all over Jerusalem. I actually witnessed this myself at the now defunct Michael Andrew at the Confederation House.
What cafe were you at?
