As always when I make these visits to the USA I find myself wondering why I am doing this. It seems absurd and futile to even hope to influence Jews to leave the comfortable American Exile to come home to our only homeland. In addition I find myself fulfilling the Jewish role to bring knowledge [...]
AIPAC, the alleged lobby for Israeli interests, has decided to mount a vigorous campaign to urge Congressmen to pressure President Obama to pursue the so called “two state solution” (as if he needs to be pressured). While AIPAC may have noble intentions and hope to find a way to soften the growing tensions between the [...]
“Let me say very clearly that the way the European Union will relate to an [Israeli] government that is not committed to a two-state solution will be very, very different,” said Javier Solana, the EU’s foreign and security affairs chief. This statement is very similar to one expressed by Secretary of State Clinton on her [...]
Notwithstanding the sincere desire of American politicians to achieve a genuine peace in the Middle East and notwithstanding the special relationship between Israel and the United States, there should be certain red lines which no Israeli politician dare cross. For an American Secretary of State to come to Israel and declare the inevitability of eventually [...]
First of all I want to congratulate you on your new post as leader of the free world. Your desire to attack the ills of the world and bring positive change is refreshing and inspiring. As a citizen of the United States and of the State of Israel who has been living in Israel for [...]

Our Rabbis tell us that [...]
Elections are coming very soon in the USA, and possibly also in Israel. There is a great clamber in the media as to how potential future leaders will guide our world. We fail to accept the fact that, in spite of our brilliance and scientific advancement, we do not control this world. The G-d of [...]
It is truly amazing how we form perceptions based upon how the media shapes our imagination. Clearly both local and international media portray Israel, in general, and Judea and Samaria, in particular, as a very dangerous place to live. Every bomb and every bullet are reported in graphic detail as terrorists wreak havoc in market [...]
Americans like to look for the promising knight on horseback to lead the nation. Barak Obama is young and charismatic and projects the hope of change. Yet his rhetoric finds him speaking in circles and changing stories. As all politicians he seeks to please everyone. It has been said that he will not advance his [...]
As I write this I am finishing up my visit to the states. Wherever I went I could feel the undercurrent of worry and fear for the future.
America and the entire world are in turmoil as the threat of terror looms over us and Islam spreads its tentacles over much of Europe and even the [...]
