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]

An amazing exchange
The Weekly Standard has been writing about UNRWA lately. In this exchange, Paul McCann, the agency's head of public information, writes what sounds like a reasonable and civil later of urbane outrage at the allegations of the magazine. It is very convincing - until you read the DOCUMENTED rebuttal by the magazine's David Tell. Long, and well-worth reading completely.
