By : Mark Gaffney - Sunday August 14, 2011 A word to the reader: The following paper is so shocking that, after preparing the initial draft, I didn’t want to believe it myself, and resolved to disprove it with more research. However, I only succeeded in turning up more evidence in support of my thesis. And I repeated this cycle of discovery and denial several more times before finally deciding to go with the article. I believe that a serious writer must follow the trail of evidence, no matter where it leads, and report back. (...)

For as Mark Twain quipped: “No man’s life or property is safe while the legislature is in session.” As if to prove this point, MK Avi Dichter submitted, on the very last day of the (...)

By : JERUSALEM - Sunday August 14, 2011 Palestinians oppose all Israeli construction in East Jerusalem because they hope to establish the capital of a future state there.

By : Haaretz Editorial - Wednesday July 20, 2011 There is nothing easier than getting preeschoolers to parrot an anthem and getting them excited by chauvinistic and religious ceremonies.

The first chapter is on "education to Zionist, Jewish, democratic and social values," much like the educational goals for elementary and secondary schools.
