PHUKET, Thailand - It's hard to believe the Israeli Foreign Ministry would praise any form of rave party, but that is exactly what happened after yesterday's huge earthquake in Indonesia. Israel's consul in Bangkok, Yaakov Dvir, said the number of Israelis hurt by the tsunami on Koh Phi Phi island was low because most Israeli vacationers went to the big "Full Moon" bash on Koh Phangan island.
