The Sde Teiman Scandal and the Real “Cover Up”
While Justice Minister Levin is busy accusing the Supreme Court and claiming a cover-up of the “truth” in the Sde Teiman scandal, Israeli politicians from all directions are pre-occupied with the real attempts to cover up the scandal. While Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer‑Yerushalmi, the outgoing Military Advocate General, is responsible for several serious offenses, including […]
The “Dream” of a Greater Israel – When will it become a nightmare?
While Israel is in ecstasy about the release of the hostages from Hamas and rightly so, the Israeli government is still trying to recover from the blow that they incurred from what is considered their closest ally: President Donald Trump. The American President has stated unequivocally that Israel will not be allowed to annex the […]
A difficult Year
To All my Readers It has been a difficult year. In April, my dear wife passed away after great suffering. The months after that are misty and without any clear memories. Until I spent a couple of days in Meir hospital (I don’t know how I got there), and they found I have a serious […]
Hostages and a Complete Victory
Last weekend three more hostages were released by Hamas in Gaza, but the happiness and excitement rapidly turned into anger.

Yom Kippur 2024
It is the evening of Yom Kippur, the “Day of Atonement”, which is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar; a day on which Jews are asking for forgiveness from God and from those they have wronged.

About “War Goals” and Politics
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office yesterday announced that “returning the residents of Israel’s north to their homes” is now determined to be a “War Goal”. Are we supposed to be happy with this remark? Are the residents of the kibbutzim and villages in the north, now going home? It is unbelievable, that, after almost of […]
State-Supported Terror is still Terror
In the shadows of the war in the Gaza strip and the threat from Lebanon, the violence of Jewish terrorists against the Palestinian population in the occupied West Bank is reaching dangerous proportions.
