What Are They Trying to Sell Us in the Name of “The Protest”
Real protest is a powerful force in a democracy, but when every Monday and Thursday your roads are blocked in the name of values written in Arabic – it’s worth asking: “Who is really protesting here – and who is just trying to engineer you?”

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.

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.
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.”

Those Who Destroy You Will Come from Within You
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.

Israeli Politics, Episode 44: The Public – Democracy’s Black Sheep 🐑
The public is the sovereign, the king, the final arbiter – and also the one who will regret it in three months.
He is cynical but naive, nervous but indifferent, and most importantly – he is never at fault.

🇸🇪 Sweden – The Country That Replaced IKEA with “Inshallah”
A country that believed it was possible to build a paradise on earth – and discovered that in its paradise, God had changed the flag.
And what remains is a nation that cleans the streets, keeps the peace, and prays that one day reality will also be politically correct.

England – the empire on which the sun never set… until the sunset of reason came
The empire does not fall from bombs – it falls from laughter from moral excess.
And the sun? It may not have set on all of Britain yet, but on the British mind – darkness has long since fallen.
