Exciting, innit?

and she has repeatedly and consistently spoken out against settlements and introduced bills to halt their expansion beyond the ‘49 borders. no party in the knesset has completely clean hands, but she is looking forward, being productive, and pushing the american jewish (and, by extension, evangelical) lobby to take…
