So the fight for the Chief Rabbinate of Jerusalem begins - the mayor who's at odds with the ultra-orthodox (anti-zionist) community for openiong a carpark on the Sabbath, wants a zionist rabbi in charge who'll support his projects. But that means further isolating the ultra-orthodox and creating a rift in the jewish community ..... but as the saying goes : divide et imperat (divide and rule) http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1245184900508&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull What worries us is a zionist chief rabbi = anti-christian, therefore we'll see more restrictions put on the christian community. Like maybe no ringing of church bells on the Sabbath??????
Meanwhile the US is absolute in its call to Israel to stop ALL settlements including natural growth. Thank goodness there's someone brave enough to stand up and speak out (for the moment anyway). http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1245184902559&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Even an Israeli soldier refused to follow orders in the West Bank and is now in prison. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1094899.html
