My Word: Excusing terrorism is an outrage
The terrorists who single out Jews to kill are murderous antisemites. They are neither victims nor heroes. Terrorism won’t end as long as it remains a cause for celebration. → Read More
My Word: Untroubling waters
Most of the country’s tap water now comes from desalination plants rather than the Kinneret, but the Sea of Galilee still has an important role as an emergency reservoir. → Read More
My Word: Political blame game and end game
The inflammatory words are coming from across the political spectrum in Israel, Left, Right and Center. And it needs to stop. → Read More
My Word: Amnesty’s criminal report and ‘apartheid’ libel
Calling Israel an apartheid state not only besmirches Israel, it belittles what black South Africans suffered. → Read More
My Word: Finding the true victims of terror
Wearing clothes that clearly identify you religiously is not a provocation or justification for being attacked. Neither is where you live. → Read More
My Word: Facebook outage and outrage
The last thing Facebook deserves this week is its ubiquitous thumbs-up emoticon. → Read More
My Word: A spiritual spa in Safed
The green Galilean mountains have a certain timelessness to them. There is a natural rhythm, like the time for prayers, dictated in terms of sunrise and sunset. → Read More
My Word: Off-and-on masks and two faces
The “masks-off masks-on” regulations were an unpleasant reminder that COVID, the virus that has so fundamentally changed every aspect of life all over the world, is going to be with us for a while. → Read More
My Word: The wash, rinse, repeat war
One repeat performance is the resurgence of anti-Jewish hatred. Blame Israel, blame all Jews for a war that started when Hamas launched rockets on the Israeli capital. → Read More

Fake news is not new, but it has never been easier to disseminate. → Read More
The Mandela Effect, fake news and elections
My Word: The Mandela Effect came into use long before Donald Trump helped the terms “Fake news” and “Alternate facts” go mainstream. At least that’s how I remember it. → Read More
My Word: Identity crises, culture clashes and being canceled
It’s no longer enough to dismiss someone but you have to cancel them – delete their very existence. → Read More
My Word: Between West Papua and the West Bank
"The UN, where Israel is singled out for condemnation as a matter of course, is far from able to provide the solution for world peace." → Read More
The joke of having so many ministers is on the taxpayers of Israel
I’m torn between trying to remember who is minister of what and taking bets on how long any of them will remain in their posts. → Read More
A coronavirus-era window to the world – opinion
MY WORD: I have been wowed by panoramic vistas of oceans, mountains and green pastures. → Read More
Keeping antisemitism afloat at the Aalst carnival
Sadly, Aalst is not alone. Other European cities believe it is their right and cultural heritage to demonize Jews. → Read More
My Word: Between North and South in the Middle East
An Israeli official this week spoke of conflict on five fronts. I counted them on my fingers. One of them stood out like a sore thumb. The arenas were Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, the West Bank and Iran. Spot the odd man out: The Islamic Republic is the major source of conflict but it shouldn’t technically be considered a front. Iran and Israel do not share a border – at least they shouldn’t share a… → Read More
Rafi Peretz's diplomatic incident and the question of leading questions
My Word: “If you have nothing to say, say nothing." → Read More
My Word: How the PA's anti-normalization hurts peace
When the PA insists that there can be no “settlers” in its territories, what is it really saying? Not “we cannot live with Jews” but “we will not live with Jews.” → Read More
My Word: Elections and a month of Sundays
Having Sundays as a workday takes its toll, particularly on the Jewish religious public, which doesn’t travel, make purchases, or use electronic devices on Shabbat. → Read More
