For those who haven't lately, I would suggest you read the book of Esther. It tells the story of how Haman set out to destroy all the Jews; a story not unlike today. However, today it is not just one man. It is all of the nations working together to, once and for all, eliminate any trace of the people and G-d of Israel. However, just as in the time of Esther, G-d will soon arise and deliver His people. :: MURDER IN NETANYA: Naftali Din, Shulamit Ziv and Ivgenia Malkhi were killed on Sunday in a suicide bombing attack by a Palestinian terrorist in Netanya. 74 people who were hurt - most of them suffering from shock or scratches from flying shrapnel. The explosion took place on a pedestrian crossing opposite the central bus station in the center of Netanya. The terrorist apparently attempted to board a bus there, but the suspicious driver did not let him on. The suicide bomber looked around, saw policemen checking out a suspicious object nearby, and decided to detonate the bomb right there. The number of Israelis killed since the beginning of the Al Aksa Intifada is now up to 67; Hizb'Allah killed two others along the northern border. It has been reported that the suicide bomber was released from prison by Shimon Peres in 1995 although he had been sentenced to 18 years in jail in 1991 for participating in other terrorist attacks against Israel. ............................ :: A LOOK AT WHAT HAS BECOME "A TYPICAL WEEK": The attempt here is to present an understanding that is not seen in the major media.

He became the 11th person to hold the post of prime minister and head the largest government in the history of the state with a cabinet of 27 ministers. He also became the fifth prime minister in the past six years. The national unity coalition government includes the Likud (19), National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu (7), New Way (1), One Israel (23), One Nation (2), Shas (17), UTJ (5), and Yisrael B’Aliyah (4) parties. Sharon’s coalition will enjoy a majority of 78. Parties that have not joined the coalition but are expected to support the government on many issues include; National Religious Party (5), Center (5), Gesher (3), and Herut (1). Total of 14. Opposition parties – Meretz (10), Shinui (6), Arab Parties (10), Democratic Choice (2). Total of 28. Meretz leader MK Yossi Sarid is now the leader of the opposition in the parliament. Israel Television's Channel One's Knesset Correspondent noted Wednesday evening that when prime minister elect Ariel Sharon made his inaugural speech this evening in the Knesset, he dropped one line from his text. Sharon told the special session that it is important for Israel's present and future not to forget Jerusalem and then skipped over the phrase in his prepared speech "united under Israeli sovereignty". The following is IMRA's translation of the paragraph as it appeared in the text distributed PRIOR to the speech. The sentence Sharon omitted when he spoke IS IN CAPITALS "Jerusalem was and will be the eternal capital of the Jewish People. JERUSALEM COMPLETE AND UNITED WILL ALWAYS REMAIN UNDER ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY." Prime ministers of Israel always repeated this commitment in their swearing in speech and among them the late Yitzhak Rabin. And thus also the pledge: "If I forget Jerusalem . . . ." United States President George W. Bush called Sharon on Wednesday to congratulate him on his inauguration and to invite him to meet with him at the White House, HA'ARETZ reported. Sharon accepted the invitation and is slated to arrive in Washington on March 19. While in Washington, Sharon will also address the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer said on Wednesday that Bush and Sharon are scheduled to meet on March 20. Meanwhile, the Knesset voted Wednesday to repeal the direct election law for prime minister by a vote of 72-32, THE JERUSALEM POST reported. The Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee voted for the new version of the Basic Law on Government, which will take effect in the next Knesset election. The Government will institute its previous method of voting in which the prime minister is chosen from the political party receiving the greatest number of votes in a general election. ............................ :: SHARON WILLING TO MEET WITH ARAFAT: On his first full day in office, PM Sharon said Thursday he would be willing to meet Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for negotiations – if the current violence ends. "The supreme mission of the new government is bolstering Israel's security," Sharon told parliament on Wednesday night, pledging a "relentless struggle against violence and terror." However, Sharon was short on specifics of how he would stop the violence. the Palestinians rejected Sharon's condition for resuming talks and blamed Israel for the clashes that began five months ago. Sharon appealed to the Palestinians to make peace, but said that "despite concessions we have made ... we still haven't found a willingness for reconciliation and true peace on the other side." . *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
