You have to wonder why we invited him. [Brazilian President] Lula da Silva [who is currently in Israel. CiJ] slighted Israel by refusing the customary diplomatic visit to Mount Herzl and the gravesite of Theodore Herzl, but during his visit to Ramallah, he is scheduled to visit Yasser Arafat's grave.Maybe someone in the government should call Hillary Clinton and ask for tips on behaving diplomatically toward da Silva.

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. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

I'm thrilled to be hated by such drek.
I would haven't invited someone to Israel who slighted its founding father.
Good riddance!
