What do you do when your daughter is trapped in Tulkarm with an abusive Arab husband and the Palestinian Authority won’t do anything about it, much less the Israeli Army who won’t risk a diplomatic incident over some woman’s domestic abuse issues?
Simple. You call on some former commando badass Israelis to take care of the [...]
This is a new section called ….. you guessed it – Israeli Music
Once a week we will post a music video (no promises) – we’ll start with a favorite, Hadag Nahash…
A new buzz is coming around the corner today. Word has it that US President Obama and Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak are meeting at the White House to discuss resolving the Middle East conflict by offering compensation to Arab refugees of the 1948 War of Independence instead of having millions of them and their descendents [...]
It pains us to write this, but it seems Israel was the victim of a hate crime last night. A shooter, dressed in black and armed with a pistol, burst into a center for gay youth and opened fire. He killed 2, critically injured another 2 who are now fighting for their lives, while the [...]
No sooner had former Kadima government finance minister Avraham Hirschson been sentenced to 5 years and 5 months for theft of public funds (among other things) and former Shas Party Health, Labor and Welfare minister Shlomo Benizri lost his bribery appeal (and got sentenced for more than twice the original period of 18 months), millionaire [...]
Someone sent this in and shared this:
Remarks of Senator Menendez (D-NJ) on the floor of the United States Senate “Acknowledging Israel’s History”, 16 June 2009

We have recently defined Freud’s terms, the id, ego, and superego for the sake of playing with a new understanding of what it is about American pop-culture that sends young Israelis flying to the mall for the latest Rihanna album or happy meal. Allow us to divide young Israel in the same fashion as [...]
As I’ve explained in the previous post, it is my aim to examine the “psyche” of Israeli culture in very broad (and no doubt very stereotypical) terms in order to get to the bottom of the “Americobsession” that has its shiny little hands in nearly every corner of Israeli life. This cultural “psyche”, I’ve explained, [...]
Part 2 out of 5
In my last post I introduced the topic of the “Americobession” that has for many years—and it seems for many more to come—taken hold of the young, and thus naturally imitative, Israeli population. Most of my native friends agreed with the sentiments expressed in the previous post and others were a [...]

What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?
The Italian – throws the cup and walks away in a fit of rage.
The Frenchman – takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.
The Chinese – eats the fly and throws away the coffee.
The Russian – [...]
As a result of the attack on the UN school yesterday and the condition of the population in Gaza a decision was made to open a “Humanitarian Corridor”. Specific areas in Gaza are now free of attacks and are kept quiet for the population to get food, water and medical supplies.
The attack we mentioned [...]
There are many exciting Archeological excavations across Israel that are scheduled for 2009.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is inviting volunteers from around the world to join these exciting expeditions.
The work is physical, and it is done mostly outdoors in locations in the desert or near the sea. The nearest excavation is set to begin [...]
I was asked to provide my take on the Impact of the US elections on Israel. I got a little carried away….
In terms of the US elections and impact on Israel.
I think that the impact is significant and that we are all aware of it especially in these hard financial times. The relationship between [...]
We’ve been accustomed to university strikes here in Israel. There is always a reason — be it the same reason that never gets solved, or a new reason that pops out just when you think that nothing’s gonna happen this time.
This past year we’ve seen a long strike arranged by the senior staff of Israel’s [...]
