How Is It Possible That 89% of Israelis Are Happy Living in Israel?
We love this country, because it is ours.
With all the mess, the congestion, the luxury and the madness… and maybe that’s why.

Haaretz – or “Defaming the Land Daily”?
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.

What If Israel’s Supreme Court Were… Just a Court?
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.
