Moving to Israel

As most people have probably been reading about the dangerous situation in Iran (we wrote about it here last week) it has come as no surprise to many that Israel has been prominently brought to the spotlight. This occurred again the other day, not in the usual “it’s the Jews and Israels fault” sort of way but in a cry for help.

It seems the Iranian anti-regime activists are hoping for an Israeli technological hand to help them fight the Islamic Republic. The dissidents have appealed to Israel to help opposition television and radio stations which are blocked and being jammed by the Islamic Republic (Nokia and Siemens) resume broadcast to Iran. Hundreds have been reported dead and thousands injured in the protests that began after the so called “election” a few weeks ago produced the same rogue regime that has been leading Iran until now.

We here in Israel are no strangers to the homicidal tendencies of the mullah’s paid terrorist Hamas and Hizbullah gangs and of course should do all we can to help those in need when facing these same criminals.

Let’s hope Israel’s technology can indeed help the situation in Iran and, equally as important, let’s hope the Israels and Americas of the world will be able to, please Hashem, stand up to all the evil forces out there and put the global and local terror threat that Iran provides to rest for good.

As we approach Election Day in America the subject on many peoples minds here in Israel has been, not surprisingly, the ramifications of the election in regards to Israel’s well being. While it is very important for all of us Americans to vote and have a say in who will be, in essence, the leader of the free world, it is also extremely important to know all the facts about each candidate’s views on Israel and the Jewish nation at large. On that note, I found this article in IsraelNationalNews.com to be very disturbing.

While I have no idea what will happen in the election on Tuesday I know that I will be praying to Hashem that the new world leader will be a friend of Israel and the Jewish people.

Easily the article of the week (and maybe the month) for this blog appeared in the Jerusalem Post the other day. It was written by Herb Keinon and does a fantastic job of discussing the conflict we often have as American-Israelis particularly when it comes to election season. Give it a read as it definitely may apply to you (I know it did to me). Good job Herb.
