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’m so sick of hearing all the reasons why people should support Israel’s right to exist. Things like this, for example: Israel does so much good around the world.

Into what kind of environment has Stav Shaffir agreed to put herself when she addresses the April 18, 2016 JStreet Gala event?

I accept the fact that Israeli security checkpoints dotting the landscape in the Palestinian Authority (PA) make travel around the PA harder for the Arabs living there – you know who I mean, the Arabs who now call themselves Palestinians. I know that those who call Israel an apartheid state claim that those checkpoints are…
The Jerusalem Post inadvertently provides support for the demonization of Israel by using language that plays into the hands of the anti-Zionists. It is in the small details that history is either confirmed or made. In the case of Israel, there are continual efforts to rewrite history and besmirch, not only the reputation of this…

Don’t you just love it when our own government ministers unwittingly provide fodder for the media herd? Now, don’t get me wrong – I actually find nothing wrong with what he said. https://twitter.com/JComm_NewsFeeds/status/712591073143468032 Transportation Minister (and Intelligence Minister) Yisrael Katz was being literary when he suggested that the Belgian government has been more interested in…
