My Israel Conundrum (2)

Over the years, and as a regular blogger, I have often posted on matters concerning Israel.

A nation at a crossroads, how things can be turned around, where our hope should lie

Incredibly for me, it has been two weeks since I last blogged. It is not that there is a shortage of blog worthy material, nor that I have stopped watching on my wall, but rather that I hadn’t quite figured out how to tackle the subject I wanted to write about (ref. the title) that goes to the heart of what are my own present preoccupations.
