Strenger than Fiction
by Carlo Strenger
Yeshayahu Leibowitz: Prophet of wrath, harbinger of the future
Because of his provocativeness, it's easy to miss Yeshayahu Leibowitz’s profound moral seriousness and the great relevance of his thought today.
By Carlo Strenger | Mar 13, 2013 | 12:03 PM | 10
Yeshayahu Leibowitz
  • 'Prof. Leibowitz, does man have a soul?'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, L,  and UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon
Wanted: Pragmatic Israeli policies instead of ideology
The Netanyahu government is not governed by pragmatism; it continues to be guided by the myths of Masada and Bar Kochba rather than by realistic assessment of international reality.

9/11 - News Agencies - September 2011
The Free World must not use fear and rage to fight terrorism
Terrorist groups aim to cloud our minds in order to subvert our values: we must not give into their ploy, and instead remain cool-headed in the face of this danger.
By Carlo Strenger | Sep 11, 2011 | 01:30 PM | 11
Netanyahu Abbas
September may bring the death of the two-state solution - and the Jewish state
What happens when the Palestinians realize come September that UN recognition doesn't change their lives, that the settlements continue to expand, and the occupation continues?
By Carlo Strenger | Sep 8, 2011 | 01:03 PM | 19
March of the Million - Moti Milrod - 3.9.2011
A different Israel, born in the summer of 2011
The protest movement’s achievements must no longer be measured by how many demonstrators it brings to the streets; enthusiasm must now be fused with pragmatic action.
By Carlo Strenger | Sep 4, 2011 | 06:25 PM | 2
Mahmoud Abbas AP Sept. 23, 2010
Can Netanyahu still engage with Palestinians' UN bid?
Israel could condition that the resolution explicitly states the Palestinian state will exist alongside Israel, thereby reaffirming Israel’s legitimacy.

Protest - Tal Cohen - August 6, 2011
Social justice, not nationalism, is what best unites Israel
No amount of propaganda can cover up that the social protests have created more unity through the demand that Israel become a decent society for all its citizens than nationalist rhetoric and legislation.
By Carlo Strenger | Aug 26, 2011 | 12:57 PM | 22
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
How (not) to think about the Arab Spring
Both Benjamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman made up their minds about the Arab world long ago, and no facts will confuse them.
By Carlo Strenger | Aug 16, 2011 | 03:16 PM | 28
Protest - Tal Cohen - August 6, 2011
Israel's version of the French Revolution: Liberty, fraternity, creativity
Israel’s creative class has had enough. The nation-wide protest against a political system run by parasites that disenfranchises the productive classes is only gaining momentum.
By Carlo Strenger | Aug 11, 2011 | 03:50 PM | 32
Protest - Tal Cohen - August 6, 2011
Sushi, social justice and self-respect
This uprising is about social justice. And yes, it is driven by the middle class. And it’s time to say something about the middle class’s right to a decent life without being apologetic.
By Carlo Strenger | Aug 9, 2011 | 01:07 PM | 23
protest - Alon Ron - 31072011
Civil uprisings demand a constitution
The system is rotten, and Israel’s infrastructures are in the pits. Only a radical cure will do, and only one goal will be a success worthy of Israel’s popular uprising.

Black trailblazers Obama and beauty queen Aynaw to talk about ... Pollard?
