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.

really, i totally agree with the message the guy is telling, but
it's very annoying with the: "never never never"
Carl - I'm sure you heard Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to the opening of the Knesset's summer session.
He made several points: the Palestinians must recognize Israel as a Jewish State, Israel must retain the Jordan Valley and a united Jerusalem, Israel will keep the settlement blocs and the Palestinians must end all claims upon Israel and there must be real peace.
But you and I know the Palestinians have already rejected a peace based on those principles and there is not going to be peace in our own lifetime.
Its important to point out Netanyahu did not use the words "1967" in his address and he pointed out Israel does not have a peace partner today.
It was a good speech but the things he talked about will never happen because today as throughout their entire history the Palestinians have refused to compromise in the slightest way for peace.
The bottom line is don't look for Israel to make any dramatic concessions in the foreseeable future.
Refreshing to hear some Israeli sanity!
gained lawfully, kept lawfully, not pragmatic to give up anyway
