In all wars there are innocents who are killed or wounded – the collateral damage. And sometimes there is death or injury from friendly fire. What is the collateral damage from the war against the COVID-19? Kids home from school for months on end, not knowing when they will get back to the classroom and…
It seems that in these days of social media and the wide and easy availability of reams and masses of information, many people feel free to declare themselves experts regarding the best government policy to fighting the Coronavirus. At least, from what I have seen, the conspiracy theories have subsided (for now?) and people now…
I have been disgusted and puzzled by Benjamin Netanyahu for quite some time. Then a Facebook friend shared with a Hebrew language forum something that brought it all together for me. All the disparate pieces into a unified whole. It never made sense to me to think that Bibi made a normalization deal with the…
