It’s forty years after 1967. An interesting number. We are taught that we were condemned to wander in the desert for forty years after our liberation and the great exodus from Egypt. It is commonly agreed that it took 40 years for a new generation to arise …and that having taken Israel out of Egypt it was essential to “take Egypt out of Israel”. What was needed was a hard desert generation to replace the diaspora “galut” Jews that had grown up in Egypt.

These last forty years of our wandering since 1967, however, are different. During most of that day it was our diaspora-born leadership (like Golda, and start, and Shamir) that was like a hardy desert generation.

Olmert and today’s “leadership” are something else.

Do we really, after forty years, now have to rely on Diaspora Jewry to stop an Israeli giveaway of Jerusalem…

So what do you think?

Nu?
