Billionaires’ greed now is laying the groundwork for a global violent revolution
Democracy's quiet saved them for a century; they're now squandering it It sounds ridiculous. Why did a century ago the richest agree that the rabble and women would all get equal votes? This is my theory. The richest are always scared...

Would he? Could he? How Netanyahu might delay Israel’s next election
Israeli democracy is on borrowed time. After years of incremental erosion, the democratic backslide is no longer theoretical. It is happening. And if we do not confront this moment with the seriousness it demands, we may soon find ourselves...

An Immodest Proposal: Democratic Recall
For a huge number of Israelis, PM Netanyahu’s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in the middle of a war on several fronts, with another imminent massive Iranian attack in the offing, is the “last straw”. This, especially when...

At the Hostages Families headquarters. One Year On
I didn't want to write this column on the first anniversary of the massacre of the Round Gaza communities and at the beginning of the second year of the "Iron Swords" war (this very name alone awakens all kinds...

‘Workers, women, and now groups of people have no common sense’
How to make disdain sound scientific or have statistics do the lying for you The YouTube channel Veritasium, with 16M subscribers, just claimed that democracy is 'fundamentally irrational' and 'mathematically impossible.' This is because power gets concentrated in one party, eventually...

The Problem of ‘Nowism’ (1): Addressing the Future

A Regular Demonstration in Or-Akiva
Here are my remarks at the demonstration last Saturday in Or-Akiva - a not-so-large community that cares a lot about Israel and will not give up. -- Good evening, Or-Akiva! It's good to be here tonight and meet people who care....

When Jim Crow takes over Israel
Imagine a Macbeth-type pre-elections witch session where Messrs. Smotritch, Levin, and Ben-Gvir bend maliciously over a steaming cauldron even before the hurly-burly is done. They confer on going to the ballots without alerting the Israeli public to their true...
