Poll after poll shows Israelis believe in pluralism, mutual respect, and the ability of humanity to defy oppression, protest inequity and pursue justice
Benjamin Anthony
The EU and UK hypocrisy on Israel’s Golan stance
They can’t work out Brexit, a deal between peaceful allies, yet they judge us on matters impacting our national survival? Hilarious
Waris Sabah
I’m from Afghanistan, and I come to Israel in peace
Our countries should have formal, diplomatic ties. Until then, we the citizens should build relationships among people
Shira Pasternak Be'eri
How the Frisco Kid got his Hasidic clothing
My father told the Hollywood studio that it wasn’t realistic for an Orthodox rabbi to dance with his future bride in public (they ignored him)
Yoseif Bloch
Booing ’tikkun olam’ is booing Judaism
The malevolence reportedly displayed by religious Jews at the National Young Israel Council’s gala dinner was shameful
Ellen Ginsberg Simon
A letter to the Brown U. students who voted in favor of BDS
If today’s student body had its way, freedom of academic expression would by stymied, and the spigot of knowledge would be closed
Amanda B. Dan
Redrawing Mom five years after her death
Increasingly, in stolen seconds of my day, my brain offers glimpses of my ’eternal mom,’ the version of Mom that stays with me most
Peta Jones Pellach
Israelis lie when they vote

Michael Brenner
What would Herzl do?
We can’t know who the Zionist leader would vote for, but we can guess who it would not be
Zalmi Unsdorfer
Why it has to be Bibi
It’s impossible to imagine anyone else standing up to Putin, Obama, and those ’Jews with trembling knees’

Rachel Wahba
Child sexual abuse is no joke Ms. Streisand
Those of us who were seduced and abused as children know that even as we thrive we are scarred for life
Joshua Washington
Hitler knew of the Mizrahi Jews. Why don’t we?

Laura Ben-David
What it’s really like for Palestinians at the Israeli checkpoints
Whatever one’s politics, it’s important to see the everyday experience — the endless waiting, the frustration, the humanity
Joshua Hammerman
Mensch Madness
Yes, it’s a Yiddish term, but a universal hero, and exactly what the world needs more of right now
Andy Blumenthal
Jerusalem’s train station that is also a bomb shelter
Up to 5,000 people can shelter underground — a comforting thought. And also a frightening one
Yael Shahar
