While the mission of Lay of the Land (LotL) is to provide a wide and diverse perspective of affairs in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, the opinions, beliefs and viewpoints expressed by its various writers are not necessarily ones of the owners and management of LOTL but of the writers themselves. LotL endeavours to the best of its ability to credit the use of all known photographs to the photographer and/or owner of such photographs (0&EO).
Enjoyed Rolene Marks article about President Shimon Peres very much. I found it very interesting to read about his achievements and so many distinguished admirers from around the world who paid him homage.
A man I too admire for his vision and optimism for peace. I always compared him to Mandela who was always searching for peace and never abandoned the “hope”.
