MY SAY: A REFLECTION ON YOM KIPPUR

In observance of Yom Kippur, there will be no postings tomorrow. May the New Year bring the blessings of peace to America and Israel.

On this holiday I reflect with great rue on how many futile and suicidal efforts Israel has made to find peace- Camp David, Oslo, Wye, Gaza, -all based on the delusion that it is about territory. The great American poet Emily Dickinson who strung words together like pearls sums it all up.

I MANY times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At centre of the sea,
And struggle slacker, but to prove,         
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.
