Is Sucker Written on my Forehead?
Is it me? Is there something on my face that says ‘Sucker here! Go ahead and take advantage of me.’? Or is that young (and older) Israelis are just so self-involved that they don’t need to follow the rules of common decency? I am SO over this behavior! Today was the third time in a […]
