Ofer Kenig
What will the new Knesset look like?
Now that the candidate lists for the September elections are closed, we can sketch the profile of Israel’s new team of parliamentarians
Alon Tal
The lost moral compass of Israeli politics
Back in 1984, the Knesset rejected Meir Kahane’s racist views; now, we’re at risk of a government that will welcome them, for a few thousand votes
Yoseif Bloch

Dissembling in the face of evil because we don’t want to air our dirty laundry is indefensible and self-defeating. We can and must do better (Tisha B’Av)
Jack Rosen
Bernie Sanders is wrong about leveraging aid to Israel
If the Senator supports Israelis’ right to live in peace, how can he jeopardize the funding that makes this possible?
Avi Benlolo

Top Ops
Joshua Z. Rokach

Eduardo Eurnekian
and
Baruch Tenembaum

To save tens of thousands of Jews, Swedish diplomat bribed, cajoled, persuaded and even threatened German and Hungarian officials; what happened to him remains unclear
Adam Levick
Against Jewish conversion therapy
Non-Jews should not have the right to define how Jews should be Jews, which is what Labour activists do when they advocate for anti-Zionism
Michelle Blumenthal

From Mumbai to Cochin, we may have prayed a little differently, but we were no less members of the same holy community
Chavie N. Kahn
A moment of revelation at Ben Gurion airport
