The Jewish-Arab love story that threatened Israel’s national identity
‘All the Rivers,’ the latest book by Dorit Rabinyan, generated international headlines when it was banned from Israel’s high school curriculum for depicting a Jewish-Arab romance.

The Israeli media’s outsized influence on Jewish-Arab relations

Just another exclusionary democracy in the Mideast
This state has never truly recognized the injustices it is responsible for: the Nakba, the occupation or the poor treatment of Mizrahim.
