      How to beat the freeze!


      Yesterday one of my daughters committed a crime. She intentionally circumvented the new building freeze declared by Barak, Netanyahu, King Hussein and the others.

      What did she do?

      She gave birth to twins - a boy (top) and a girl (bottom).

      Why is this so illegal? Quite simply, there is no 'building' stronger or more eternal, than children. And two at a time - what Chutzpah!

      So, I can only wish all of you the same - you should all be so blessed with children that 1) live in Judea or Samaria, here in Israel, and 2) have children, 3) even if only one at a time.

      Mazal Tov!!!
