He also threatened to call early elections if the budget is
not passed. A group of Russian immigrants, with the support of several
immigrant organizations and parties in Israel, is demanding
that the Israeli government allow them to live inside the
country as Russians and even sent a letter asking Russian
President Vladimir Putin to help promote their cause.

Washington "My son has severe learning disabilities. When he was young,
we enrolled him in a public school program. But the
experience was a disaster. The other children made fun of him

Since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon made such a big point of it
in his election campaign more than 18 months ago, few
commentators can resist holding him to his promise to bring
security to the lives of people in Israel. Attacks continue,
and when innocents are murdered while doing nothing more than
going about their daily lives, the lack of security is
