Sharansky may be exactly what Israel needs. For sure they need a leader of wisdom and courage. (I'm not that familiar with Sharansky. Will have to read more.)
He was in Soviet prisons for years for asking to leave.
Natan Sharansky is a Russian immigrant, I believe. He was writing anti-Soviet books at the height of the Cold War. I read one of them many years ago. He is as opposed to the left as anyone you could find.
Prayers for my Israeli brothers. This reminds me of the forced evacuations by the Nazis, who often used Jewish police to do their dirty work.
