Israel: A Superpower? Or a Racist Apartheid State?
The Iran war has been raging for more than a month already and the Israel population has been under the threat of missiles and rockets from day one, disrupting daily life, with millions running to protected space (if they have one close by) often several times day (and night). While the decisions regarding he war […]
In Israel All Are Equal Under The Law — Or Not?
The discussion in the Israeli Parliament concerning the “Draft Evasion Bill”, has been going on for quite a while with the Haredi parties, who hold a crucial vote on this matter, changing their minds (through their Rabbinical leaders) back and forth regarding their support and it appears that they are only increasing their demands with […]
What Really Happened On October 7th 2023? We will probably never know
Israel’s longest and most devastating war officially ended a couple of months ago, even though the army is still very much involved with cease-fire violations by Hamas terrorists, who continuously attempt to cross the so-called “yellow Line” and are mostly eliminated. And, even though more than two years have passed since the disaster of October […]
The Draft Evasion Law and Zionism
For weeks now the coalition in the Israeli parliament (the Knesset) has been trying to get the draft law (or draft evasion law for Haredi men) passed, which would, according to the initiator MK Bismuth, bring thousands of Haredi youngsters into the army. One of the reasons it has taken so long is that even […]
The October 7th disaster and Israel becoming a dictatorship
The war in Gaza has come more or less to a halt, even though the end result, disarming Hamas, is still very uncertain. Not so in the occupied West Bank. Terrorism is on the rampage and surprisingly, the Israeli Army and police are not able (or not willing) to control it or stop it. The […]
The Judicial Coup is gaining track but can still be stopped
While the attacks on the Supreme Court have been escalating in the past three years, with Justice Minister Levin leading the Bibi crowd into an ever-stronger anti-judiciary policy and legislation, the utterances of Finance minister Bezalel Smotrich regarding the Chief Justice Isaac Amit went way beyond that. Smotrich called The Chief Justice a violent megalomaniac […]
Draft Evasion and ”equality Under the Law”
After two years of war and tensions both in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon still very high, many reservists are still in the army with many having served many months already. While it is lawful for the IDF to call up reservists in time of war or dangerous periods, it does put a heavy burden […]
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 […]
