This year will mark thirteen years, and my tenth Pesach in Eretz Yisrael, in which I have emailed, as it has become tradition with me from prior to my Aliyah, the rendition of Dayenu quoted from the book “Dear Brothers.” In each year, Dayenu holds a unique perspective, unlike the perspective of any previous year.
And so, the lessons of Dayenu are vital now, just as they were in the first year that I emailed this vort out or, for that matter, as vital as they were when it was quoted in Segal’s compilation of the book in its copyright year 1988.

Commentary;
How many more facts and realities will Shas disregard and rationalize away in their abandonment of Jerusalem for the love of money and partison self-aggrandisement?
Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA makes these comments about the consequences of the Olmert, Livni, Ramon partition of Jerusalem polices, and Shas’ acceptance and enablement of them, and what these policies have wrought by way of President Bush’s upcoming 60 year Yom Hatsma’ot visit to Israel;

The distinct possibility exists for poison plots and other forms of sabotage endangering Jewish lives and limbs whereever either “Israeli Arabs” or Illegals are employed, whether in restaurants or food services, or building trades, or any other type of employment in any part of the land of Israel! The absurdity of these reports stands stands on its own. MB

Commentary;
Frankly, this author finds rather demeaning that the Israeli foreign minister, in her broken, barely understandable English, can do nothing more than beg the Nations for release of soldiers Schalit, Regev and Goldwasser.
Tzipy, we haven’t forgotten your indignant crying tantrum at Annapolis when none of the Islamic men would talk you or even enter or exit the room through the same exit as you because you are of the female gender when you, your staff and the prime minister should have known that elementary fact.

Commentary;
What nasty little secrets lay in the closets of Israel’s governmental and political leaders concerning their roles in Pollard’s operation and what they did or didn’t do in the Pollard affair, including possible money-trails? What major earth-quakes could result if these secrets and intrigues ever see the light of day by way of revelation by the State Comptroller, or by way of a freed Pollard himself? What heads will roll and what major changes in the governance of Israel would result from such revelations? The report below, and related reports give glimpses at possible implications as well as reiterating this blog’s point about Israel’s repeated abysmal ingratitude toward her allies as noted here and here.

MK Schneller: Armed Citizens ‘First Response to Terror Attacks’
Full Text;
MK Otniel Schneller (Kadima) is set to convene a secondary committee on issues concerning Judea and Samaria following an Israel Radio report that the IDF had collected hundreds of weapons from settlers in the Binyamin region.
“Citizens who carry guns are the first response to terror attacks,” Schneller told Israel Radio on Wednesday, adding that if the justification for the move was political, “it is stupid and will lead to anarchy.”
