With Twisted Arm
Today was Tu B’Shvat. Actually the time considered the new year for trees (an issue with import in Jewish law) but popularly thought of as a sort of Jewish Arbor Day. Trees are planted in honor of the day, and fruits and nuts – products of trees – are eaten.

I spent the day with a tour into the Jordan Valley sponsored by World Likud – a tour that emphasized the fact that this Valley is ours. Anyone in Likud who isn’t for the retention of the Valley, does not belong in Likud, declared key speaker Deputy Minister of Defense Danny Danon.
As I’m beginning late, this post will be short (or short for me, at any rate).

The twisted arm I refer to above belongs to Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon.
