There are certain things in the world: the sun rises in the east, the IDF is delayed in a briefing, and the Haaretz editorial team presents Israel to its readers — but only after it has been put through an industrial guilt grinder.
Like gefilte fish: grind, add ironic sauce, and be careful not to make it feel a little too Jewish.
How a people who gave the world ethics, justice and monotheism became “problematic” in Intro to Critical Theory.
If education doesn’t teach kids to think – only to memorize — then it isn’t education.
It’s pedagogical makeup with the flavor of “lite.”
Before you turn on the air conditioner for the third time today – warm yourself up with an article that understands exactly how an Israeli body feels in tropical distress.
Where is the winter? Enough with this heat…
As long as there are people here who continue to believe – not in the theory of binationality, but in the historical right of one small and troublesome people to return home – hope is not lost.
And deep down we still have a little bit of Jewish audacity, a little faith, and a little healthy cynicism – it will not disappear either.
Why is everyone allowed to be proud – except you?
Imagine a strange, almost imaginary world – one day you wake up, turn on the news – and there is no new ruling from the High Court of Justice that determines what the government should really do, who is allowed to be a minister, and what kind of coffee is allowed to be poured at government meetings.
There is no petition on security policy, no intervention in the composition of the coalition, no ruling that reinterprets the meaning of the word “law.”
Yes, the destroyers and ruiners are among us — in faculty lounges, film festivals, and NGOs with suspiciously generous grants.
But they won’t win.
Because even if they hate themselves, we love this country enough for both of us.
“Excuse me, I was just asking” – this is how most moments that don’t end well in Israel begin.
This is one of the most brilliant passive-aggressive brilliances of Israeli culture: a trial that begins with light-hearted politeness, and ends with legal drama, public use or a viral column on Facebook.
The left has learned to exploit the channels of the giving audience: morning programs with a progressive angle, talk shows featuring commentators with ideological positions, and airtime that is tailored to high exploitation of viewers who identify with it. The result: the “leftist message” is not only heard—it is replicated within the branches of discourse (cinema, culture, education) and enters living rooms as something that is naturally “free from criticism.” Thus, a media is created that defines what is considered normal—and this is a weapon of consciousness in its political sense.
