l’orage a eu le sens profond
de la bouffée

et la flaque demeure
comme son dernier crachat

il n’y a que les hommes
pour faire durer un orage
plus que le temps d’un orage

All enjoyment, all taking in and assimilation, is eating, or rather: eating is nothing other than assimilation. All spiritual pleasure can be expressed through eating. In friendship, one really eats of the friend, or feeds on him. It is a genuine trope to substitute the body for the spirit—and, at a commemorative dinner for a friend, to enjoy, with bold, supersensual imagination, his flesh in every bite, and his blood in every gulp. This certainly seems barbaric to the taste of our time—but who forces us to think of precisely the raw, rotting flesh and blood? The physical assimilation is mysterious enough to be a beautiful image of the spiritual meaning—and are blood and flesh really so loathsome and ignoble? In truth, there is more here than gold and diamonds, and the time is soon at hand when we will have a higher conception of the organic body. Who knows how sublime a symbol blood is? It is precisely that which is disgusting in the organic components that points to something very lofty in them. We recoil from them, as if from ghosts, and sense with childish terror a mysterious world in this mix, perhaps an old acquaintance. But to return to the commemorative dinner—can’t it be imagined that our friend has turned into a being whose body has now become bread, and whose blood has become wine?

A pioneer in Israel-Arab co-existence in the private sector, SodaStream will build a new production facility in the Gaza Strip, a major boon to the Palestinian population.
On Thursday, SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum announced that his company will build a factory in the Gaza Strip, a territory suffering from severe unemployment under the rule of the Hamas terror group.
Birnbaum told Israeli business news site Globes, “[W]e’re in the process of putting a plant in Gaza, which will be operated through a subcontractor. We want people in Gaza to have real jobs, because when there is prosperity and plenty, there will also be peace,” he said.
Birnbaum’s company, which was recently acquired by Pepsi for $3.2 billion, has a history of providing high-paying jobs to Palestinians in Samaria, where SodaStream operated a plant for years that represented an island of peace where Jews and Arabs worked side by side.
Birnbaum made the announcement alongside Pepsico CEO Ramon Laguarta at the Globes Business Conference, where Laguarta commented, “[Israel] should be very proud of what [it has] achieved in 70 years. As a stranger here, I see that you have turned the desert into something amazing and creative. I think you should feel very proud,” Globes reported.
SodaStream was established in 2007 and quickly took the world by storm with its home carbonation machine, capable of producing soda pop and other beverages in reusable bottles.
“Diversity in the plant is very important to us,” Birnbaum stressed, referring to his commitment to provide employment to Palestinians and Israelis alike.
“Business can be a bridge in certain cases,” agreed Laguarta.
