defiance

Rightists in the govt. are now openly waging war against the US by pledging more money to build more settlements. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1091163.html

And wow - a catholic pilgrim who took an archaological stone in 1997 home to the US regrets it and now has returned it to Israel. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8079825.stm The Head, Haim Shchupak of the IAA's anti-theft unit said the return of antiquities was rare.
"It's nice that these people's consciences bothered them," he told the Associated Press news agency. "I'm glad that there are good people out there." I wonder if there're good israelis who'll return stolen land back to the palestinians....... any good men out there?
