And I guess they would care if one of their own loved ones died, particularly grandfathers/grandmothers..

And lettuces? Well, the lettuces are so expensive in Australia because of the floods interfering with growing/harvesting, and our land is so large geographically that it costs a fortune (increased petrol prices) to transport them.

I can sense your pleasure in being in the special warmth and atmosphere that is Israel, so enjoy. I know I would, too. Not much point comparing Australia and Israel, though; they’re two very different entities.
