Title:Granma Israel
Name:Zev Yitzchoki
City: Del MonteState: Wisconsin
Granma Israel is about to celebrate her 60th birthday. 60th birthday is indeed a milestone for every individual, especially for one who so many prayed for her birth. Her labor pains lasted for so long and finally she was born to a proud family.
The joy and happiness did not last for too long. Granma Israel`s neighbors despised her and her very existence. For years they tried to destroy her and her offspring but due to her stamina and ability to fight back she remained well and strong until.. Until she got tired of fighting her enemies and flew to Oslo where a group of phsycologists and family "friends" convinced her to sign a treaty with her neighbors and she will live in peace.
Hardly had the ink dried on the paper it was written on and her enemies not only violated it but terrorized her on a daily bases.
But granma was so convinced that good neighborly relations are possible that she began to halucinate that a new era of peace and tranquility is in reach.
