Here I respond to Israeli current events – to what is happening within the country and what is happening internationally regarding Israel. My views are still evolving and my writing will reflect my continuing growth and exploration of the issues. I examine academic writings in the fields of history, sociology and political science, as well as opinion pieces and analyses that appear in the media.
I do not promise to be consistent because my political views are still changing as I learn more. I do promise to be provocative and perhaps a bit irritating to some. Feel free to express your thoughts and your agreements and disagreements with me: I value debate, respectful debate, and anticipate engaging with my readers.

I love it when friends who totally disagree with me give me exactly what I need to make a point I have the feeling they will not like. A few days ago, a friend shared on Facebook the missing piece I needed to put together an article that has been swishing around my brain for…
If you believe Bassem Eid (Ayyad), then you know that Palestinian Authority (PA) leaders have lost their authority among the population they are supposed to represent and the people would rather be part of Israel.

The Arabs who now call themselves Palestinians have a national anthem. Actually, their current anthem is supposedly their second. The lyrics of the first were written in 1934 by Ibrahim Tuqan and expressed opposition to the British presence in the Ottoman Empire.
