Children need to know who they are, what their ancestors went through – not to be condescending but to feel a sense of belonging.
Journalists used to chase the story, now they dictate it in advance.
They don’t ask what happened, they ask: “How does this serve my message?”
In an age of fake news, divisive discourse, and technology that dictates so much,
we need roots more than ever to define who we are.
There is such a concept in Israel: “unity.”
It is like summer stew – everyone talks about it, no one is really willing to pay the price for it.
You can always try again. And again. And again.
Yes, because peace – it turns out – is the only product in the world that you pay for in advance, over and over again, even when it doesnโt arrive.
When you hear the word “occupation,” everyone imagines a machine gun, checkpoints, fences, and an army on every corner.
But it turns out that this occupation? It’s less “occupation” and more “VIP customer service” – with an invoice to the Home Front Command.
The Israeli media, like its American counterpart, has long ceased to be concerned with reporting, but with directing. If once the reporter was sent into the field with a notebook, today he goes there with a script, and with a clear goal: “Bring material that will strengthen the message.”
The media today is not just a source of information – it is a national education system, only without supervision.
And it teaches us again and again: Don’t believe in yourself, don’t be proud of the IDF, don’t believe that you can win. That’s not “enlightened”
More and more people are waking up to the fact that this “darkness” of tradition, borders, family and nation is precisely what has held civilization together. And they are beginning to understand: true progress does not erase the past – it builds on it.
A sober look at the newscast as a marketing department of consciousness
Because if there’s one thing the right has already learned, it’s that the best-selling product on television is the fear of thinking differently
What Are They Trying to Sell Us in the Name of โThe Protestโ
