Supporting Our Israel: The High Holidays and Israel
http://www.supportingourisrael.com/2012/09/the-high-holidays-and-israel.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. The High Holidays and Israel. As we are in the midsts of the highest, most spiritual days on the Jewish calendar, days of retrospection and repentance, Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur, I would be remiss if I didn't post something. The year has had tremendous ups and downs. For myself, my family and friends and for the Jewish nation as a whole and as we come upon Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance, it is important for all of us, yes, myself included, to look deep down. What ...We ar...

Supporting Our Israel: Wanton Destruction in Mitzpeh Yericho
http://www.supportingourisrael.com/2013/05/i-think-whats-most-shocking-is-not-lack.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Wanton Destruction in Mitzpeh Yericho. I think what's most shocking is not the lack of response from the Israeli government, which is deplorable, but the lack of response from the Jewish community, in Israel and the Diaspora. Its almost as if we have become complacent, waiting for these things to happen and then shrugging out shoulders as if to say "what can you do? Here is a list to some of the articles about this attack:. Why should Israeli residents feel this way? The writer and ...

Supporting Our Israel: July 2014

Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Sitting Outside, Looking In - My First Blog Post for Times of Israel. It's so easy to sit in America and look at Israel and pontificate. Currently sitting at my desk, with my laptop, I am not threatened. I have no bombs flying over head. I fear for my brother, living in Tel Aviv; my friends sprinkled throughout Israel, but I am safe at home. Yet, I remain seated in New York, my frustration building daily and I can't understand why. Very nice. So when my daughter needs formul...

Supporting Our Israel: August 2011
http://www.supportingourisrael.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 21, 2011. A Work of Fiction. Before I start, Ghaddafi is evil. Assad is evil. Ahmedinjead is evil. The protests, or Arab Springs, happening now, are correct. These people are sick and must be removed. The problem is that the only symbol of governance is the Muslim Brotherhood. That is a huge problem. But, I digress. A new taxation system would be implemented (which would include lower indirect taxes and higher direct taxes). Free School from an early age. If I could, I would do away with t...

Supporting Our Israel: ANALYSIS: Israel and Gaza
http://www.supportingourisrael.com/2014/07/analysis-israel-and-gaza.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2014. ANALYSIS: Israel and Gaza. Israel handed the control of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority in 2005. Soon thereafter, there was an election, which placed Hamas as the governing body. Israel gave this small strip of land for peace. Are you following? To stop firing INTO civilian occupied areas. Israel now has begun Operation Protective Edge, and with Benjamin Netanyahu's vow to "take off the gloves," Israelis are wondering what is really going to happen as Netanyahu, a decor...

Supporting Our Israel: December 2011
http://www.supportingourisrael.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. One of the most frustrating things about blogging for me is the inability to write when I have an idea to write about. When I am finally able to sit down and write, the idea has escaped me and I don't touch my site. At the same time as these protests are happening worldwide, the European Union, a horrible experiment to say the least is crumbling, throwing all economies into a tailspin, inducing fear and MORE riots in its wake. Yet, as Haaretz. We are in unprecedented times and ...

Supporting Our Israel: September 2011

Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Are We Still Friends? Regardless of the current President, who has done some pro-Israel things, but is not pro-Israel, the ties between the United States and Israel are strong.and important. Those are physical though and as frightening as that is, the reality is, buildings can be rebuilt. In the United States, in 2011, the average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gas is roughly $3.51. The average price per barrel of oil is roughly $82. These prices, whi...Yet, in Israe...

Supporting Our Israel: March 2012
http://www.supportingourisrael.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. As of late, it hasn't been enough to advocate for Israel. The reality of the situations with Iran and Gaza, the erroneous claims of Apartheid and other such examples of the insane goings on in the world against Israel is maddening. The world sits idly by while Iran arms itself with nuclear weapons, even people like Meir Dagan, the former head of the Mossad, thinks that "we have more time.". Has Hamas stopped their terror campaigns? How can the world not see the writing on the wall?
