When I go online to check the Israeli press, I usually go to Haaretz first. I skim the headings and read what interests me. The web page is familiar and it has become a habit of mine as a news junkie to read Haaretz in the morning. The paper also naturally appeals to me as [...]
I just read it, and wow! So powerful. It has to be to reverse the damage and misinformation Caryl Churchill has done.

Tell them it’s a play
Tell them it’s serious
But don’t enlighten them
Tighten them
Put some night in them.
Tell it in the voice of Jews
Tell it only in the voice of Jews
That way any bad thought will [...]
Let me start by saying that I support the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the right-wing march go through Israel’s largest Arab city, Umm el-Fahm. However, I don’t see the point in the march that occurred in Israel today. They want to wave an Israeli flag in an Israeli city? So what? I reserve the [...]
Amira Hass of Haaretz wants us to believe the allegations from the Palestinians about IDF warcrimes. I’m not sure if her reporting over the last 4 months is considered journalism, or even investigative journalism which she tries to portray. I think the people that live comments on the Haaretz website that criticize her are way [...]
I just saw two Al Jazeera English programs, the first on the allegations of war crimes against Israel in light of the recent testimonies by Israeli soldiers, and the second about the shutting down of the Arab culture event organized by the PA in east Jerusalem. On both of these segments, they had two Israelis, [...]
The following article is so powerful, that I want to show all of it.
INTERNATIONAL donors pledged almost $4.5 billion in aid for Gaza earlier this month. During the past few years it has been very painful for me to witness the deteriorating humanitarian situation in that narrow strip where I lived as a child in [...]
The JPost has lovely article about the Makuya, a christian sect originating from Japan, who make yearly pilgrimages to Israel. They are very Zionist and Judeo-phile. I did a little further reading about them and apparently they don’t use the cross as their symbol, they use the menorah.
Every year they go to Israel and [...]
Seth Frantzman writes a smack-down in the JPost on the 10-minute play by Caryl Churchill called “Seven Jewish Children”. Here is an excerpt:
CHURCHILL WANTS TO present the narrative, first popularized by historian Arnold Toynbee, of Holocaust survivors becoming holocaust committers. It seems that Churchill cannot bear the idea of including a Jewish voice that does [...]
The “infallible” Amira Hass of Haaretz has “uncovered” another piece of “evidence” proving that the IDF has committed war crimes in the recent war in Gaza.
In her latest “presentation to the court”, she describes a “sheet of paper found in one of the Palestinian homes the Israel Defense Forces took over during Operation Cast [...]
The Baltimore Jewish Times, my local Jewish weekly has a review written by Michael Fox about the movie “Live and Become” by filmmaker Radu Mihaileanu.
The film begins in a Sudanese refugee camp in 1984, where thousands of famished and exhausted Ethiopians are clustered in a kind of hellish limbo.
One smart mother recognizes that the [...]
