Americans are now discovering what we in Israel learned a long time ago: tolerance is great – until someone takes advantage of it to take control of you.
Yes, the destroyers and ruiners are among us โ in faculty lounges, film festivals, and NGOs with suspiciously generous grants.
But they wonโt win.
Because even if they hate themselves, we love this country enough for both of us.
After we got to know the parties, the politicians, the journalists, and the public – itโs time to talk about the most Israeli phenomenon after hummus and traffic jams on Highway 1: political cyclicality. That eternal time loop in which everything changes – in order to stay exactly the same.

This sentence is sold around the world, especially on the progressive left, as if it describes some fantasy of inter-ethnic brotherhood: from the Jordan to the sea, everyone will live in peace, share hummus, and teach each other folk dances.
It’s a beautiful idea โ kind of like thinking that if you opened all the cages on a safari, the lions, zebras, and giraffes would cook together over a fire.
When judges drink the espresso of the rule of law – and drip a little activism into the coffee
