TOUR TO ISRAEL JUNE 2010 |
| |
1/24/2010 • Jerusalem |
| |
The tour dates are from June 1 through 12. The full itinerary, prices and contact information is included when you click above, although some additional stops of special interest to me might be tacked on. The summer days are not usually at their hottest in early June (that mainly comes in July and August) but they are very long that time of year, so places can be visited with less of a rush (and smaller crowds!) than during other times of the year. We intend to keep the tour relatively small, so easier to get around and to get to know others on board. So come along with us if you can! |

OCTOBER 2009 ISRAEL NEWS REVIEW |
| |
10/26/2009 • Jerusalem |
| |
This month's news report covers the renewed Palestinian violence in Jerusalem this month, which I experienced firsthand, the latest fallout from the UN Goldstone report on the Gaza Strip conflict early this year, and recent developments with Turkey and Iran. I take a detailed look at the Goldstone report, since it has potentially grave implications for Israel and other nations struggling against terrorism. I also quote the chief Israeli archeologist responsible for the Jerusalem area, and the Haifa University professor who heads the City of David digs (both of whom I interviewed earlier this month) concerning Palestinian accusations that Israel is conducting clandestine archeological digs under the Temple Mount—a charge that both men adamantly denied.

SEPTEMBER 2009 ISRAEL NEWS REVIEW |
| |
9/28/2009 • Jerusalem |
| |
Click for the latest Israel news and analysis report, covering the most important developments during September. It was a month filled with much significant news, most of it relating to either the stalled peace process between Israel and the Palestinians or Iran’s ominous nuclear program. Signs that a major showdown may be looming with the radical Shiite political and clerical regime that governs Iran were more than evident during the month, even as the American Obama administration chose to focus once again on attempts to re-ignite the moribund peace process. As the annual Yom Kippur fast day came to an end here in Israel, the Iranian Defense Minster issued a new threat that any Israeli military strike upon his country’s rogue nuclear program would “expedite the Zionist regime’s last breath.” This came after long range Iranian missiles were tested earlier in the day, reportedly capable of reaching targets in Israel. |
