		<description><![CDATA[By Rabbi Dow Marmur JERUSALEM &#8212; References to peace with the Palestinians have returned to the rhetoric of Binyamin Netanyahu. During the election campaign he tended to talk about the threat from Iran and its stooges, not about opportunities for peace.

		<description><![CDATA[By Rabbi Dow Marmur JERUSALEM &#8211;I suspect that one reason why Israel is so preoccupied with Yair Lapid is because he seems to be the only real winner in last week’s elections. A few others did hold their own, but many more lost heavily. Here’s a list. Binyamin Netanyahu, though still the likely prime minister, [...]]]></description>

One: Israel rightly prides itself on its democratic structure. As the country isn’t divided into ridings where the first past the post candidate is elected, in theory every vote counts. That’s why today, election day, [...]]]></description>
