I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Speaking of pro-peace, here's a good report (part of a larger report) on the intricacies on peacemaking in this conflict. Don't let the J Street-types let you think that the process is at all simple and completely in Israel's hands.

Pretty amazing result in one of the UK's most rabidly anti-Israel papers, even with the biased questions. J-Street isn't helping itself either. After its despicable treatment of Rabbi Yoffie, it leaves little to the imagination as to how it would have treated Israel's ambassador had he been in attendance. Israel was right to stay away from its proceedings.
People, the world, however you choose to couch it, continue to believe that there is a secular solution to what is fundamentally a religious problem. Not withstanding Israel's historical, archeological and legal (League of Nations, British Mandate, etc.) let alone religious claims to "the land", until the wording of the Koran and other Islamic texts with respect to treatment of 'infidels', Jews and the perpetuation of the Caliphate, there will be zero chance for a "lasting peace". And this fact is not hidden, it's not complex to understand and it is rooted in the one thing that is absent in all of the previous attempts to either arrive at or impose peace - logic.
