HIGHEST RATE OF SUICIDE ATTEMPTS IN ISRAEL IN TZFAT

B"H

As of the writing of this entry this article is not yet on their site www.gnews.co.il.

In the כ"ד אלול תשס"ד, September 10, 2004 (10.09.04) edition of חדש בגליל there is an article entitled צפת נחשבת כעיר בעלת מספר ניסיונות ההתאבדות הגבוה ביותר (TAZFAT IS CONSIDERED THE CITY WITH THE HIGHEST RATE OF SUICIDE ATTEMPS).

MOST INFURIATING: According to the article it was international suicide prevention week just recently. The article says that Tzfat didn't partake in any suicide prevention programs or lecturing that week. I can vouch for that. The first time I heard about suicide prevention week was from the above-referenced article, after the fact. Why didn't the journalists do a write up before hand, thus forcing the hand of the city to do something, by alerting the public that international suicide prevention week was in the offing?

How, how!, I ask you how! does that gadfly Doreen Dotan have the temerity to write that anything is wrong in the city of Tzfat?!
