Israel Plus Ten

Saturday marked the tenth anniversary of the day I left for my one and only trip to Israel, on February 5, 1995. I was 16, Yitzhak Rabin was still alive and in office, and the Oslo peace process actually appeared in good shape, and Ariel Sharon most certainly did NOT support a two-state solution.

I’ve become a bit more jaded in the decade hence, but I still love Israel as I do few places on Earth, and have some cautious optimism that it will someday live in peace.
