Solomon has a very good piece on a very important issue: the archeological destruction of the Temple Mount by the Islamic Wakf. (Update: Omri does, too.) Forgive me for pointing out, once again, that there is a very clear method to this madness: the eradication of any evidence of Jewish history at our most sacred site. It's an important step on the path to eradicating ... us.
Here's a story that's sure to titillate.
NABLUS - Troops searching a West Bank house for a wanted Hamas gunman found his sister hiding his gun in her underpants, the army said, adding that it would consider renewing strip-searches among Palestinian women when searching and screening for potential terrorists.
The soldiers in the Balata refugee camp, a terrorist hotbed, found the gunman inside his house and ordered him to surrender his weapon. He refused, saying he didn't have it. After questioning, they found the man's sister had hidden it her underwear.
Troops then arrested the Hamas terrorist. They also found a gun holster and bullets inside the building.
An army spokesman said the incident raises serious questions about the need to search Palestinian women, mainly at checkpoints.
“Until now we have gone easy on women,†a spokesman said. “Perhaps we need to reconsider that policy.â€
And, hallelujah, another tax season has come to an end. In the old days, it seemed like we were always working up until the last minute. Things are better now, perhaps due in part to better software. I was all done on Wednesday, including my own stuff, amazingly enough. (Well, almost.)
And now (sigh) it's time to start getting ready full tilt for Pesach. After Shabbat, of course. Ahhhh! Rest for the weary.
Shabbat Shalom.
