Quote Of The Day
Israel's leaders, and the prime minister at the head of them, need to learn from Yehoshua bin Nun how to lead a nation and a country - with faith, with national honor and with strength. I hope that the light of Yehoshua bin Nun will return to the leaders of Israel and help them reach the correct path. Our leaders should learn from the strength and the decisive way of Yehoshua. When it was necessary to conquer the land he did not hesitate and consider what "they" would say..
-- Head of Shomron Regional Council Gershon Mesika, while preparing for tonight's visit to the grave of Yehoshua bin Nun in Timnat Cheres

sefer yehoshua makes it clear that YBN failed, at least partially. he didn't clear out the locals, wasn't able to motivate the tribes to complete the work. that failure doomed the northern tribes.
