Well, the election is history. The results werent exactly what wed have prayed for, nor were they what we expected. The polls showed slightly different results. On the other hand, despite errors similar to those made in 1992, the left-wing dream of a mahapach, that is a revolution, a changing of the guard, a total defeat of the ruling prime minister, didnt happen.

Another one of the unsung heroes of Hebrons rebirth, is a 52 year old woman with 11 children and as many grandchildren.

They then moved to Hebron, where theyve lived for over 30 years. For a number of years Orit led Hebrons legal and political departments and acted as a spokesperson for the community. Witnessing the travesty of justice following expulsions from communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, Orit founded the Organization for Human Rights in Judea and Samaria. This was the first, and only human rights organization dealing with massive police brutality against Jews....

Thanks for posting.
God bless David Wilder and the new MK, Orit Struk. May Hebron forever remain in Jewish hands.
May Areas A and B be unconditionally and without reservations restored to Jewish hands.
Thanks Eleutheria5.
