This week on Wizardof.il FB- IRAN – July 21st
This week, the main topic is Iran, Iran and again, Iran. And some more Iran. The United States signed a ridiculous agreement with Iran, in which they basically capitulated to all of Iran’s demands, removed sanctions and paved the way for the most dangerous country in the world to acquire the means for destroying the […]
This week on Wizardof.il FB- July 13th (double feature)
The discussion these days is about the nuclear deal with Iran. I don’t think it needs explaining that any deal that allows Iran even the slightest chance of acquiring a nuclear weapon is seriously bad. This is the regime that has outwardly declared that it would wipe Israel of the Earth, and is also directing […]
This week on Wizardof.il FB page- June 30th (Double feature)
I’m calling this week’s post a double feature because due to army reserve duty last week, I didn’t have time to post last week’s post. Yes, here in Israel we have army reserve duty. Army service is mandatory for all high school graduates (with some exceptions)- three years for boys, two for girls. After that, […]
This week on Wizardof.il FB- June 15th 2015
The big scandal of the past few days has been the question of whether or not the Israeli government should be funding cultural events even though they go against the core principles of the country. Education Minister Naftali Bennet removed a play from the list of plays subsidized by the Ministry for showing to schools, […]
This week on Wizardof.il FB- June 1st
This is what you missed in the last week: 1. May 26th- It was only a matter of time. This isn’t last summer, this is last week: And internal spats between Palestinian factions are no excuse for firing missiles on Israeli civilians. From The Times of Israel 2. May 27th, “Midburn Festival in the Negev […]
And Life Continues
It’s been a while since I’ve written. Israel has been going through some crazy times lately. At first my excuse was that it was the middle of semester. As soon as the semester’s over, I’ll go back to writing again. Semester break came and went, and then it was another semester. After that, I’ll surely […]
So what’s with Gaza this time? Operation Defensive Edge
I’ve added a lot of links to this post, with more information, photos, articles and videos. I urge you to read and watch them. Perhaps this post shouldn’t be called “Operation Defensive Edge”, because that makes it sound like this is all about Israel’s actions, and it isn’t. Operation Defensive Edge is the response […]
The Aftermath
They were laid to rest in the cemetery of Modiin. It is said that a hundred thousand people came to bid them good bye. Most of them had never even met either of the three or their families, but they came nonetheless, because for 18 days, we were all one family. And when Rachel Frankel […]
Binfol Oyvekha Al Tismakh
Over the past few days there have been a number of news-worthy items which I considered posting about. Every time such an item cropped up I debated with myself, whether I should set aside the post I’m already working on in order to write something else, but eventually I came across pieces by other authors […]
