When No News Is Good News: Israeli Arabs and Israel’s Wars
Human psychology being what it is, a major “flaw” is that we focus far more on what “is” than on what “isn’t”. There are some rare exceptions (e.g., an extended period of no rainfall), but the rule holds almost...

From the State of Israel to the State of Judea
While we are celebrating Hanukkah today, a question arises: why isn’t the State if Israel called the “State of Judea”? Not only was the last successful Jewish war of independence led by Judah Maccabee, but the nation that earlier...

Amnesty International’s Mea Culpa
