Perspectives on what is happening in Israel from a family living in a very newsworthy part of the world.

What's a nice family like us doing in a place like this? We are an Orthodox Jewish family that moved to Israel in 1991. We learned Hebrew, found work, moved to a nice suburban community 30 minutes from Tel Aviv, had a few kids... Pretty boring, right? It would be, if half the world weren't so obssessed with where we live. The nice suburban community we moved to is in Samaria, in the west bank. When speaking to Israelis or other Orthodox Jews, we refer to the place we live in as the Shomron, using the biblical, Hebrew term for the region. We chose to use west bank in our name because it is more familiar to those who have never heard of the term Shomron. Welcome to all of you interested in reading about what is happening in Israel from the perspective of a family living in a very newsworthy part of the world.

i think that's reason #283 why i'm making aliyah.
thanks for the link.
some already are--I have friends here on the Left Coast, in the nation's Bluest County, who have either renounced their Jewishness in favor of being "humanists" because they don't want to be identified with Israel or anything Jewish OR have gone the other way: they are quietly becoming more conservative due to conservative support of Israel and Left-wing bias against Israel, although these friends are still nominally liberal Democrats--who just joined AIPAC.
Excellent referral--BokerTovBoulder's citations are now bookmarked for the next Lefty-liberal anti-Israel feeding frenzy I run into...
Wonder how much Walt got paid under the table by the Saudis for his hit-piece?
bec - yeah, that was part of the reason why I linked to it...
phishaliyah - I think some realize it and some don't
aliyah06 - I'm glad I gave you some more "ammunition" against the feeding frenzy
Oy, WBM - let's not go overboard. It is not exactly a Kennedy School report, just two profs that decided to be clever. Besides, USA has lots of people who do not like us Jooz and do it in stronger terms that these two...
But surely, there is no place like home, here I agree with you.
Cheers.
