Gaza, Israel and all those damned ‘isms’
Israelis and Jews have been advocating this week. For facts, for truth. For our side of the story, for what's right. We've written it, tweeted it, videoed it, and shouted it out loud wherever they'll have us. And it's...

Tales from the edge: This we know
It seems to me that we're not sharing all we know. Oh yes, we share our stuff. Opinions with everyone (and anyone), startups to the highest bidder, falafel shops in every corner of the globe, hoards of post-army kids...

Tales from the Edge: When the Storytellers Leave
In the land where nobody sits on the fence without eventually falling off, the story of whence we came is as least as important as the story of whither we go. There are countries where this is not true....

Bread and Pottery in the Perfume Quarter
Hearts light from a good night's sleep. Breakfast walked off with a hike along the crater, we found ourselves in the industrial area on the northern road out of Mitzpe Ramon, for a last glance before heading home. The industrial area...

A night alone at the house in the desert
The drive south was long, and a two hour fight to the death for viewing space at the IDF Officer Graduation Ceremony (think 800 proud Israeli parents with Mary Poppins-like coolboxes containing the entire gamut of world cuisine) finished us off....
