On Caroline Glick's blog article God Bless Michele Bachman she writes I cannot remember EVER hearing a more cogent explanation of Israel's importance to the US by ANY American presidential candidate in my life. Mitt Romney -- another Republican candidate --has recognised how important Israel is to the US. Morry looks for a more balanced view of Israel in the US post-Obama.

A couple of movie tickets is offered to the best account of Israel supporting amongst Democratic presidential candidates. Send your entry to morryngabATgmailDOTcom .

The three Russian nuclear scientists who designed and put into operation Iran's nuclear reactor killed in a plane crash. . Certainly a blow for the Russian nuclear industry. Maybe also for Iran? A rather different group of Three Russians sing Tombalalaika in Yiddish in the first musical interlude.
In this weeks Herald Sun, commentator Andrew Bolt, reported that in 2002 Labour parliamentarian Khalid Laida wrote to the Syrian dictator pledging his absolute loyalty. Where does Laida stand today ?
One musical interlude Sharm el-Sheikh relates to the paratroop jumpers of 1967 who landed at Sharm el-Sheikh.
Morry and Gabby continued by discussing other examples of Israeli creativity.
Israeli product nano-Retina that works in conjunction with a camera mounted on glasses feeds directly into the optic nerve. This Israeli invention gives to the blind (as by macular degeneration) a powerful amount of vision -- far more than other devices which only the crudest of image information. This product complements the work of Israeli researchers in developing stem cell approach to the alleviation of macular degeneration. An extraordinarily creative Israeli inventor has been Yossi Gross, born 1947 in Budapest, the inventor so far of 27 medical devices.
Perhaps most amazing has been a system of breeding fish in a mere 40 liter of water per fish -- making possible the breeding of fish in the desert.

In Lithuania today Communists are reviled, while WW2 groups that actively collaborated with the Nazis in killing 95% of their Jewish fellow citizens are being recast as nationalists who opposed Communism. Meanwhile there is only a token, hypocritical appreciation of the contribution of Jews to Lithuanian history and culture.

The Maabarot

Many of the 975,000 Jews expelled from Middle Eastern and North African countries who came to Israel were placed in tent cities called maabarot. Some families lived as long as twenty years in maabarot before moving to regular housing. Here are some scenes of maabarot life in Israel in the early years of the reformed state.
