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]

The enemy is radical Islam and all signs indicate that Hadayat was a radical Islamist who engaged in an act of terrorism. "

News as barometer
It is nice to see the number of visitors to this site decline. There is a perfect correspondence between horrible things happening in Israel or to Israel and rises in the number of visitors to this (and other Israeli news) sites.

If you are Jewish, I hope you feel as I do, that these people are there in my place, fulfilling our duty to settle the land.
