“As children, the distinction seemed obvious to us. But apparently, the difference between the two is a lot less easy to discern than it would seem.”

“This must be the case because the fact of the matter is that today, for the second time in 12 years, a government of Israel — being led by an elderly politician with a distant past as a war hero — is basing its policies on fantasy rather than reality.” read more
