Gaza: A Human Tragedy and a Just War
I’ve written about this before: it doesn’t matter what your nationality is or what the context may be—what the people of Gaza are enduring is a human tragedy.

Stuck in the Middle with None
In a world dominated by increasingly extreme political voices, many of us in the center—ranging from center-left to center-right—feel alienated and exhausted.

Israel, October 12, 2023.
“Optimism and hope are not the same. Optimism is the belief that the world is changing for the better; hope is the believe that, together, we can make the world better. Optimism is a passive virtue, hope an active one. It needs no courage to be an optimist, but it takes a great deal of…

Israel, 12 de Octubre 2023 (Spanish version)
“optimismo y esperanza no son la misma cosa. El optimismo es la creencia que el mundo esta cambiando para bien; la esperanza es la creencia que juntos, podemos hacer un mundo mejor.
