No, you will not read about this in the news because it is a metaphor. Israel is like the house in which one chair hosts a termite or two. Left unfumigated, the termites multiply and attack more chairs and tables until serious damage, perhaps irreparable, has been done to the furniture in your house. If…
I find it ironic that one month after Prime Minister Netanyahu lost the premiership the Likud tabled a bill to extend Israeli law (solely in order to embarrass the new PM Naftali Bennett) over the Jordan Valley and parts of Area C in Judea & Samaria when they did nothing over the 12 years they…
A course offered in a municipally owned building and paid for with municipal tax monies is teaching anti-Zionist activists another chapter in operating against the state in which they live. Because there is no English translation for this course promotion blurb on their website, I am translating it here in full below the image of…

What chance does truth have when you find something like this in a book that is likely used as a university text? University of Michigan Professor Mark Tessler has an impressive resume (see here). He has studied and conducted research in Arab countries and in Israel. I thoroughly enjoyed and found the first chapter of…
Arab actors who were born in Israel, grew up in Israel, studied in institutes of higher education in Israel, still live in Israel, and work professionally in Israel, played in Let it Be Morning, a film supported by the Israel Film Fund. They are peeved that their film is being presented at Cannes as an…
This article by Lyn Julius brought back memories and made me laugh. And it made me cringe. More of that in a moment. She brings us an exerpt from an article in Haaretz that is behind a paywall. She gives us enough of the article to let us understand her point — that while there…
