Academic studies from various disciplines tackle issues related to Israel. I will critically and fairly examine published articles that find their way to my screen.
In a discussion about a supposed long-standing Palestinian identity, a Facebook friend asked me to provide him with primary sources that would allow him to re-examine his assumptions. I decided to look into academic studies that might help shed light on this topic. The first article that I opened was a paper written by George…
When a respected archaeology journal accepts a paper that categorizes a population as indigenous when it is not, it cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged. Archaeologist Dr. Talia Shay taught at the Technion in Haifa until 2013. There is little online evidence of professional activity since then but she did publish a new article this…

Antisemites care. And Jews care. Did I leave anyone out? The Question is NOT: “Where do Ashkenazi Jews Come From?” Ashkenazi Jews come from Judea. The question…
