I was born in Brooklyn (like everybody), but I served in the Israeli army; my first reserve duty was the Six-Day War. My father was a Palestinian--born in Poland, emigrated to Palestine when he was three years old, in 1920. I inherited a deep love of Israel from him. I hate the stream of lies I read and hear daily about Israel. I love Israel's people--all of them. [Contact me: joel dot orr at gmail dot com]

Author Naomi Ragan was in the Park Hotel in Netanya, on the night of the recent terrorist atrocity, in another private seder. She wrote a first-person account of the harrowing experience and submitted it to The New York Times. They turned it down, preferring to publish an account from someone who wasn't there, but who is in tune with the NYT's extreme-left politics. Shame on them. (via email note)
