On this momentous day when Israel elects a president, Quin Hillyer's essay in
Jewish World Review makes terrific reading. Hillyer, an associate editor at the
Washington Examiner and a senior editor of
The American Spectator, frequently appears at
JWR but the essay today is unique, combining thoughtful and touching comments on Israel's election; on America's changed attitude towards Israel; on Benjamin Netanyahu and his heroic soldier brother, Jonathan (pictured here); on the film,
Defiance, and more. Good stuff.
