West of Eden

by Chemi Shalev

Obama's all-out, guns blazing, no-holds-barred charm offensive on Israel's unsuspecting public

Obama’s speech was so pro-Israeli that even AIPAC maidens blushed. The president didn’t miss a trick, used every PR shtick in the book and invented some ploys of his own.

Obama Peres children

Ireland-Palestine Solidarity protesters call for a boycott of Israel

The Brooklyn College BDS debacle highlights the perils of pro-Israeli overkill

U.S. President Barack Obama boarding Air Force 1.

Obama's Israel visit may mark rebirth of 'centrality' of the Palestinian conflict

In the short term, the early visit serves Netanyahu’s political purposes. It is also a sign of darkening Middle Eastern skies.

The Gatekeepers

‘The Gatekeepers’ is a harsh portrayal of life outside the ghetto of self-denial

For lovers of Israel, the Oscar-nominated film is like a waterboarding of the soul. It is relentless. And It should be required viewing for all.

The Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, before the start of the 2013 Super Bowl

2013 Super Bowl: A tale of two brothers, three cities and Bar Refaeli

The Super Bowl matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens also includes a usual dose of controversy, which this time includes the famous Israeli supermodel.

Lapid celebrates his electoral achievement

Yair Lapid’s problems will begin the moment he runs out of miracles

Lapid’s stunning electoral success has led to dramatic changes in perceptions of Israel, inside and out - but great expectations inevitably lead to even greater disappointments.

Yair Lapid at Yesh Atid headquarters

U.S. strategist's formula for Lapid’s stunning success: the candidate, the message, and the Internet

Mark Mellman, the U.S. political consultant with deep ties to Israel, tells Haaretz that Lapid is 'sweet and smart' and very easy to work with. Politically speaking, he adds, Israel is not as unique as it likes to think.

Yair Lapid, head of 'Yesh Atid' in Tel Aviv, Jan. 20, 2013.

A right-wing coalition with Lapid can find common ground on the domestic front but will quickly be undone by the Palestinian issue.

Yair Lapid, head of 'Yesh Atid' in Tel Aviv, Jan. 20, 2013.

First election takes: Bibi’s blunders, Lapid’s luster, Bennett’s believers – and Obama’s revenge
