My heart is crying for you my dear friend and brother. Your soul has touched so many people and your love has brightened this troubled world. I will miss you so much.
I have been thinking about what to say for my Passover blog. Every day I receive about 20 emails from a variety of people and institutions regarding the political situation in Israel and the world. I scan them all in order to cull the most interesting and often underreported pieces that reflect intelligent thinking regardless whether I agree with the piece.
J Street in the USA is holding its convention in Washington D.C.. It pretends to be a “pro peace” and Pro-Israel” lobbying organization. But in reality it is a convention that is anti-Israel and anti-Zionist. Many of its speakers have addressed this convention expressing the tired worn out rhetoric of half-truths and out right lies about Israel, its people and our national intent toward the Palestinians. It is this despicable display of anti-Israeli speakers that evoke cheers from the audience.
In honor and in remembrance of all those who perished and all those who survived the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust, we present a series of videos,links and a personal note.
