Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Elliot Jager | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features

Wednesday, July 28, 2010 by Natan Sharansky | Jewish Ideas Daily » Daily Features

By Natan Sharansky Editors' Note: We present here two statements by Natan Sharansky—the first originally published after the September 1993 signing of the Oslo accords, the second written on the eve of Israel's disengagement from Gaza in 2005.
