Ten days ago, this blog posted a piece on the start of the Annapolis conference stating that it was “no accident or coincidence, for on 29 November, 1947, the United Nations voted for the partition of the British Mandate territory of Palestine marking the beginning of modern-day Medinat Yisrael.
For those not distracted by the rhetoric of Olmert, Ramon, Livni, Barak, and yes Bibi Netanyahu too, there is a lot to this symbolism; 29 November, 1947; the beginning. 29 November, 2007; the Arab, and Leftist Regime hoped for beginning of the end of Jewish sovereignty.”

Commentary;
A little over a week ago, a blog entry was posted here citing the absurdity of a ruling regime professing “it’s Jewishness” while pursuing the actualization of divestment of Israel, and Israelis of any and all vestages of Jewishness by any and all means, even at the peril of the entire nation.
In a MUST-READ piece, Manhigut Yehudit leader Moshe Feiglin echos the very points made in the above-mentioned blog post in his piece; “Israel’s Jewish Mask” MB
.
Commentary;
In view of Olmert’s demand to recognize Israel as a Jewish State, this author believes that the deliberate omission of the flag of Israel from proximity of Annapolis needs to hammered home to Israelis again and again and again!
Further, a contact in Washington informs me that, unlike the Arabs who are very high profile and readily available throughout D.C. and Annapolis, the Israelis “are all here in Annapolis…, spread throughout the city.”

MK Eitan: Any Annapolis Deal Should Specify: ‘Pending Knesset Approval’ (Jerusalem Post)
Full Text;
MK Michael Eitan (Likud) asked Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz to inform the prime minister that if he signs any agreement at the Annapolis conference he must add a clause stating that the deal is pending Knesset approval, Israel Radio reported Sunday night.
Eitan said that according to Mazuz, without such a clause, Israel would be committed to any agreement signed at the conference, irrespective of the Knesset’s position.

Two years ago, just before Chanukah, a short article appeared on the INN website entitled; “Mortar Shells Filled With Chanukah Light” told about the Menorah made from some of the spent Islamic mortal shells which were launched on Neve Dekalim over the years.
Reading about this special Menorah which was lit at one of the Jerusalem hotels which temporarily housed many former Neve Dekalim residents, took me back in time to Philadelphia, in “the “old country” and to a point made by Rav Yehoshua Kaganoff about the pit in which Yaakov was thrown. The point bears repeating.
