OK Litzman. Dayenu!
As if it was not enough that Health Minister Yaakov Litzman allegedly obstructed justice by influencing the psychiatric reports offered to the courts considering the extradition of Malka Leifer.

Journalists Play “Fish” With the News
I once thought that journalists and media outlets were interested in reporting on the news-as-it-is and not the news-as-they-want-it-to-be. Silly me! Here is a recent fishing expedition brought to our attention on Twitter. It shows us how journalists play “Fish”. You know the kids’ game I am referring to? Where if you do not have […]

Ahmad Tibi Says He is Not Anti-Jewish, Part I.
Last month, CNN published an op-ed written by Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi. I could not let the piece stand unchallenged.

Rather, in the interest of lasting peace and […]

Marilyn Garson (a Jew) spent four years working in Gaza and she thinks that gives her the authority needed to tell the New Zealand government how they should interact with Israel. And she wrote an article about that. It was published in the January-February 2020 issue of the journal, the New Zealand International Review. Called […]
Everyone Knows we need Electoral Reform… So?
As a result of our current national political debacle, former Haifa mayor, Yona Yahav, wrote a letter to the editor of Haaretz in which he calls for electoral reform.
