Globalize the light
By
Erica Brown
A message to those who seek to ’globalize the intifada’: With your unbounded hate, I say, we Jews have been here before and we know how to shine in the darkest places
Isaac Herzog
Those who try to extinguish our light will fail
Just as Jews everywhere have stood with us in Israel, we stand together with you, shoulder-to-shoulder, in the fight against this violent hatred
Iddo Gefen
What Ahmed al Ahmed’s brave act tells us about human nature
A single act of courage punctures the old, worn-out trope that the world is defined by group conflict and self-interest
What Hamas can never understand and never extinguish
By
Sarah Tuttle-Singer
The ‘beautiful six’ hostages insisted on creating community and bringing light into unimaginable darkness
Dov Maimon
History is knocking violently on the door – will Israel answer?
Condolences after terror attacks are not enough; the government should remove the obstacles that prevent Jews in the West from making aliyah
Avi Lewis
Mourning my Australian identity
The country of my childhood, where the biggest worry was the cricket score, is now a place where you have to check your Zionism at the door
How not to fight crime in Arab communities
By
Khader Sawaed
The government’s decision to fund more policing while cutting welfare and education is like mopping the floor while the pipe is still leaking
James Ogunleye
Appeasement’s bitter harvest in Bondi
Israel knows what the West forgets: When evil is indulged, it grows; when confronted, it retreats – which is why Israel continues to fight it, wherever it is found
Elkana Bar Eitan
Terror found my friend, Arsen Ostrovsky
In case you needed a reminder that terrorism against Jews doesn’t stop at Israel’s borders… but neither does Jewish resilience
I’m done hoping for Haredi enlistment
By
Oded Revivi
After years of fruitless discussions, I believed October 7 would move ultra-Orthodox leaders to see Israel’s need. It didn’t, and now the state must act decisively
Benjamin Blech
Why should we care what Mark Ruffalo thinks about Marwan Barghouti?
It’s not just that celebrities calling for the release of a convicted terrorist are wrong; it’s that they risk drowning out real expertise, real voices and real victims
Leigh Hartzman
How to love in Israel without losing yourself
When you move here, you will often feel like a child, stuttering in the grocery store and misreading your bills. Here’s what you must do if you want to grow
48 doughnuts later, our 2025 Hanukkah rankings
By
Hilary Faverman
This year, we finally went native, taking Israelis’ recommendations for sufganiyot, in our annual contest that sweetens the dark times
Top Ops
Rachelle Unreich
Quintessential Sydney, the beach made us smile
My survivor mother found sanctuary down under, but she knew that when hate speech is the norm, violence follows – and Australia has a problem with hate speech
Chavi Israel
We just went to the beach to celebrate Hanukkah
This can’t be happening. I shove my body over my baby. Where are the police? I must protect my baby. This can’t be my last day. How is this happening?
Morey Schwartz
When the miracle fades: A grown-up’s guide to Hanukkah
How a holiday celebrating the miracle of a small jug of oil from over 2,000 years ago can actually be meaningful right now
Jennifer Moses
The eight nights of Hanukkah, dateline 5786
All I want for Hanukkah is peace in the Middle East — and for people to stop saying I look good ‘for my age’
