Sad bibi

Netanyahu is praying that Israelis won't say 'Yes We Can'

Perhaps, at this point in his life, Netanyahu has decided that winning a confrontation with Iran isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Burgas bus

We interrupt this war for: A child's first Israel word book

That pall is back. That leaden horizon and the insane heat, the brutal mass killings of innocent people - all of it pointing to war. Before it all comes horribly apart - a memory.

West Bank settlement construction.

It was Zionism itself that Israel buried this week. Let it go.

It was not only Shamir that we buried this week. When he went, he took Zionism with him. When the Ariel university is declared, Israel will have nothing more to conquer, and no need to formally annex.
