Honor the Sabbath --- create a two-day weekend in Israel
By Jonathan Rosenblum

The most obvious benefit is that it would provide all of us with more respite from the sometimes unbearable pressures of day-to-day life in Israel - the threat of war, suicide bombers, the lack of water. The citizens of no other Western country live with such pressure, and yet no other Western country is without a five-day work week.

Ship Of Truth
By Charles Krauthammer

What does it take for the world to acknowledge the obvious truth that Yasser Arafat has no intention of making real peace? How much incontrovertible evidence is required before one admits that the Oslo "peace" was a fraud and a deception? Are 50 tons of smuggled weaponry insufficient to demonstrate that the truce the United States is seeking to establish would be nothing more than a breathing space for Arafat and the terrorists he supports to rearm, regroup and prepare for the next, more explosive phase of the war he began on Sept. 28, 2000?
