Toward the end of last year, Jimmy Carter apologized for some of his very harsh statements about Israel. In an "open letter to the Jewish community" -- and with a vagueness that ill becomes him -- he airily mentioned criticisms that "stigmatize Israel" but omitted his own contribution: the implication that Israel is, like the racist South Africa of old, an "apartheid" state.

(Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. (Bill Vaughan)Telfed once again hosted some 30 Olim for a special tree planting ceremony followed by a Tu Be’Shvat Seder. The Raánana municipality, out to prove Bill Vaughan wrong, handed out trees for free to all residents who were ready to plant them in honour of the national festival of Tu Be’Shvat – the New Year of the Trees, writes Dorron Kline. A separate party was held in Hod Hasharon for the South African students on the Naáleh programme from the Mossensohn school.
