It is currently around midday in New York on July 10th
and I thought it might be worth putting together a few articles about events in
Israel which I have found interesting– I do not necessarily agree or disagree
with the content, but I felt they were worth sharing. This is by no means an extensive list, but it
offers a variety of insights and opinions.
There is an introduction to each article so that you can
read what you find interesting.

not been more condemnation of Hamas in the international community.
Only in Israel, or only in Palestine?

that while most of the world is at peace, in the Middle East there is still
tension and war.
