Shevat 4, 5770, 1/19/2010
Blight on the LandscapeThere's lots more to read on Shiloh Musings and me-ander. You may like my latest "Biblical commentary" comparing Moses and Samuel on leadership or my wondering what's in store for Haiti. Here's one of my latest picture posts, concentrating on something neither pleasant nor safe: These pictures aren't posted to show the beauty of the Land of Israel. They're up on the blog to show you how man, Israel's politicians, have damaged our land, sovereignty and security by constructing this farce of a "security wall."     I took these pictures traveling from Shiloh to Jerusalem. The wall doesn't give security. It's actually riddled with holes in convenient places, so the Arabs can get where they want by foot and donkey. Israel's security authorities know this. It has even been broadcast on Israeli television. Besides that, there isn't a budget to repair the normal "wear and tear." Obviously some contractors got very rich building this structure. G-d willing, some day, we will all celebrate the ripping down of this wall, just like the celebrations of the destruction of the Berlin Wall. |
