The one good thing the next government could accomplish
If Yair Lapid’s party takes over the Education Ministry, it could bring an end to the Greater-Israelization of the country’s schools and universities. After 45 years of occupation and no end in sight, it would be better for Israel to have a completely right-wing/ultra-Orthodox government than a right-wing/centrist one with Yair Lapid, Kadima and possible…

The post-Netanyahu era starts tomorrow
Bibi will be the lamest of ducks in his next and last term as PM. Hold the applause, though – what’s rising up to take his place is worse. If, as expected tomorrow, Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu gets in the low-30s in Knesset seats, this election will mark the beginning of the post-Netanyahu era. Bibi will remain as…

Israeli minister aptly compares Ariel settlement with Falklands
Last Tuesday, it became official: the IDF (following approval from Defense Minister Barak) recognized the academic center in the settlement of Ariel as a full-fledged university.

Education goals for 2012: Zionism first, math failures second
The government ministries have set their goals for 2012. It’s good to know the Education Ministry has got its priorities straight.

Teaching Nakba in Israeli schools: tools or weapons?
Israelis and Palestinians obviously have competing “historical truths” or narratives, but if we are to cultivate a next generation on both sides that can tolerate each other, shouldn’t we be teaching the conflicting narratives as a bridge towards reconciliation, and not as a weapon with which to crush the other?

Why did they kill Jaurès? An Israeli lament
I have a new hero. I first heard of him long ago. It would be difficult to miss his name. Walk down any odd street in France and you’d pass pass a “Jean Jaurès high scool”. Often enough, the street himself will be named after Jaurès. Indeed, the street just south of my house here…

Of genes and ministers
A senior German banker, Thilo Sarrazin, got himself in hot water a couple of days ago. His sin: expressing his belief in the theory of a “Jewish gene,” common to all Jews.
