The prisoner exchange between Israel and Hizbullah was so painful and disturbing that, in my eternal search for optimism, I tried to find some light and hope. At first I thought that at least there is some type of common ground being show here. Recommend this article... |

 Tony Blair’s moral clarity and compassion are just what the Mideast needsBefore I decide which political party or candidate to vote for I always try and compare their policies and positions with the stated views of the Torah. The politician or party which is closest to those ideas earns my vote. Recommend this article... |
