My favorite place to study is in a little, nameless nargila shop located directly across from the clock tower in Jaffa. The nargila is always fresh, constantly reloaded with charcoal, head and shoulders above the dirty nargilot you get on the Tel Aviv beachfront and half as expensive. The interior is [...]

Zohir Andreus, the editor of the Israeli Arab newspaper Kol el-Arab (The Arab Voice), wrote a fascinating op-ed piece that was published today on the Ynet site.
It seems that none of the Arab-Israeli political parties has seen fit to put a woman in a realistic slot on their list. This, despite the facts that there [...]
Israel is now just over one month away from general elections. So far the campaigning has been pretty muted, but over the past week more and more campaign billboards are appearing around Tel Aviv.
Meretz is a left-wing Zionist party that advocates a complete Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and the creation of [...]

When we heard about the Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contest, we laughed. What a great way to take the piss out of this whole Muhammad cartoon brouhaha. And we were intrigued: who had this brilliant idea?
Turns out that it was the brainchild of Amitai Sandy (29), a graphic artist who is the publisher of Dimona Comix. [...]
