A few days ago we saw the much anticipated tripartite meeting between Mahmoud Abbas, PM Netanyahu, and President Obama, in that usual stance where Israeli and Palestinian leader are clasping hands and the US leader is in the middle, hands outstretched, in that sort of “I know, deep down, you really do love each other,” [...]

His music is from the ’60’s and early ’70’s, and he definitely looks his age. But those who do remember this folk music icon of a bygone era, and have the NS 400 -600 needed to buy a ticket will be present in Ramat Gan Stadium on September 24, when Leonard Cohen saunters out on [...]

Even the cops were in a good mood today. It was humid and hot but that didn’t slow down anyone. If you are in Tel Aviv around this time next year, it’s certainly worth the experience. Bring suntan lotion
Holy Crap! Bar Rafaeli’s latest cover-page splash seems to do nothing but “snap-crackle-pop”. The sizzling 23 year old Israeli model seems to be getting more daring, as her posing for America’s oldest and (many say) most prestigious men’s magazine, Esquire, leaves almost nothing to the imagination.
Following her recent cover page pose for Sport’s Illustrated [...]
When an article appeared recently in some news sites regarding the list of the world’s ten most sexiest women (including Britney Spears of all people), it appears it left out a young woman who has already received the attention of model and fashion publications all over the world; many of whom have picked her as [...]

The annual release of the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated is practically a national holiday in the States. Supermodels are defined by their appearance in the Swimsuit Issue.

Today we can pretty much divide the state of Israel to geographical districts according to the type of missiles that fall there.
Here’s a crude illustration:
For the first time ever, Palestinian rockets have reached the city of Be’er-Sheva. Until today, Be’er-Sheva was never being regarded as a “border town”. If you look at the map of Israel, it sits right at the center of the map. It is also the seventh largest city in Israel.
But the truth is Be’er Sheva [...]
