This traditional Jewish Holiday marking relief from suffering -- which did not mark a day of relief from suffering for Gilad Shalit -- did mark a day of relief for myself; indeed on this day of Lag B'Omer I was discharged from hospital care, having healed adequately to return home after two major surgeries, the first, double-bypass heart surgery, and the second, clot-busting surgery due to a "saddle" embolism.
I marvel at my own good fortune, while I despair and pray for Gilad Shalit. On my birthday two days before Pesach I was admitted to hospital; on the first day of Chol Moed Pesach I underwent a double-bypass operation; less than two weeks later I underwent clot-busting surgery; a week before Lag B'Omer I gained strength to walk prodigiously; on Lag B'Omer I returned home. I "should" have been dead twice; HaShem took me "Between the Straits" on dry land!
May Gilad Shalit be free this Shavuoth!

AND THE PRESSURE ON ISRAEL KEEPS BUILDING AND BUILDING AND BUILDING....
(NEVER MIND THE INCREASING HYPOCRISY OF EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN ATTEMPTS TO DEAL WITH BEING THREATENED AND OVERRUN BY ARAB MUSLIMS).
Today is Lag B'Omer, one hopes for a reprieve from the horrendous sins of omission and commission with respect to Israel by it's so-called allies from the USA to Europe, etc. Is it so much to ask, especially given the nature of the horrendous, cruel video cartoon published by Hamas last week ridiculing Gilad and Noam Shalit, for the nations of the world internally and for the United Nations General Assembly to pass resolutions condemning Hamas for that video cartoon and asking for the immediate, safe, and unconditional release of Gilad Shalit?
Has the world gone completely mad, or just plain evil, failing to perceive that it is Israel and not the Arabs, who are the primary victims of hatred, human rights abuses and aggression?
Today, Lag B'Omer, is day 1428 into the captivity of Gilad Shalit, alive or dead, probably dead. There is no sign of the Arabs showing any remorse for their evil. Let them show remorse and compassion or let them be destroyed. Let it be their choice.
