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.

I'm surprised there aren't many comments on this fascinating interview.
The al-Jazeera interviewer is informed and clever. He comes off as a western oriented secularist quizzing Danon according to principles of "international law" and customs. He criticizes Danon's positions which are biblically based as not corresponding to modern notions of how things should be done.
The irony is that Muslim countries base their policies on the Koran and that arrangement must never be questioned. Danon might have alluded to this irony which might have been appreciated by al-Jazeera's audience.
Danon did a great job and managed not to lose his temper despite being baited repeatedly.
