There’s something almost surreal about watching narratives unravel in real time. For months, timelines have been flooded with tear-stained posts from supposed “Gaza residents,” typing smoothly through airstrikes, power cuts, destroyed infrastructure, and supposed existential terror — and doing it with remarkably stable Wi-Fi, fluent Western slang, and posting schedules … [Read more...] about The Gaza Lie — And the Quiet Collapse of Manufactured Outrage

Oligo Security: When an Israeli Startup Becomes the Firewall for the AI Era
Sometimes a press release reads like marketing, and sometimes it reads like a warning flare — this one feels closer to the second category. Oligo Security, a Tel-Aviv based cybersecurity company, just announced a major expansion of its platform to secure the fast-growing world of AI deployments — everything from basic AI-powered applications to large language models and … [Read more...] about Oligo Security: When an Israeli Startup Becomes the Firewall for the AI Era
UNraveling UNRWA – A Documentary Built for a Moment When the World Can No Longer Look Away
Every once in a while, a film arrives not as entertainment but as a reckoning—something that feels less like cinema and more like a mirror held up to decades of politics, trauma, silence and carefully curated myths. UNraveling UNRWA, the upcoming documentary from Zygote Films, feels exactly like that. There’s a kind of uneasy urgency surrounding it, the sense that its timing … [Read more...] about UNraveling UNRWA – A Documentary Built for a Moment When the World Can No Longer Look Away
Names in Stone, Names Remembered
Sometimes history doesn’t move forward in straight, neat lines — sometimes it loops back with a sting so familiar it feels like an echo. That’s the feeling that lingered in Miami Beach as the Holocaust Memorial unveiled the names of those murdered in Israel on October 7, 2023, engraving them permanently beside those who perished in the Shoah. In the warm Florida air, under … [Read more...] about Names in Stone, Names Remembered
A Shadow Fleet Docking in Broad Daylight — Haifa, November 23, 2025
Something about the scene below my window doesn’t sit right. Two tankers — huge, steel-black, purposeful — are moored at Haifa’s oil terminal, their decks tangled with the usual industrial geometry of pipes, valves, safety railings and catwalks. On the closest one, the white-painted bridge shouts the standard “NO SMOKING” warning familiar to petrochemical shipping anywhere from … [Read more...] about A Shadow Fleet Docking in Broad Daylight — Haifa, November 23, 2025
Elbit Systems Secures $210M Contract to Modernize Israel’s Merkava Arsenal
There’s something symbolic when a defense contract stretches six years into the future — it signals not just procurement, but long-term doctrine. Elbit Systems’ newly announced $210 million deal with Israel’s Ministry of Defense fits squarely into that category. It isn’t about building brand-new armored platforms from scratch; it’s about making existing steel smarter, sharper, … [Read more...] about Elbit Systems Secures $210M Contract to Modernize Israel’s Merkava Arsenal
Teva on the Rise: Israel’s Pharma Giant Opens Its Doors to Startup Innovation
Sometimes a title writes itself once the strategy becomes clear, and Teva really does seem to be shifting gears rather than just polishing its brand narrative. The phrasing feels surprisingly appropriate—Teva is not rising in the sense of returning to past glory, but rising into a different role: not just a manufacturer, not only a generics superpower, but a company willing to … [Read more...] about Teva on the Rise: Israel’s Pharma Giant Opens Its Doors to Startup Innovation

Israfood 2025, A Small Expo With Big Ambitions — Tel-Aviv’s Food, Beverage & Hospitality Week

Eilat, A City Stuck Between Potential and Decay
There’s a moment when you walk along Eilat’s shoreline — somewhere between the quiet hotels and the soft ripple of the Red Sea — when it hits you: this place isn’t dying, but it’s definitely not living either. It’s suspended. Waiting. Hesitating. As if the city knows what it could be, but no one has bothered to push it forward. The image tells the story clearly. The water is … [Read more...] about Eilat, A City Stuck Between Potential and Decay
October 7 and After: Atrocity and the Echo in Lisbon
October 7 will be remembered not as a day of battle but as a day of barbarity. Hamas crossed the border with one goal — to maximize civilian suffering. Families were slaughtered in their homes, women raped before being killed, children executed in front of their parents, and hundreds taken as hostages into Gaza’s tunnels. This was not a war, it was a pogrom — an act of terror … [Read more...] about October 7 and After: Atrocity and the Echo in Lisbon
Sailing Out, Not Standing Still: Mano Cruises and the Persistence of Movement
From above the port of Haifa, the scene tells its own quiet story. A Mano Cruises ship, painted in bold swirls of blue, isn’t docked or waiting—it’s already edging out of the harbor, prow pointed toward the open Mediterranean. The cranes and warehouses on shore stay fixed, rooted in the daily grind of logistics and industry, but the ship itself is motion, a deliberate act of … [Read more...] about Sailing Out, Not Standing Still: Mano Cruises and the Persistence of Movement
A Camera, a Festival, and the Stubborn Persistence of Stories — Haifa, October 2025
Most people will look at this giant billboard and think: film glamour, red carpets, celebrities, culture. And sure, all of that is true—the Haifa International Film Festival is Israel’s longest-running film event, now in its 41st year, pulling in audiences from around the world. But if you step back and tilt your head a bit, there’s another story hiding in plain … [Read more...] about A Camera, a Festival, and the Stubborn Persistence of Stories — Haifa, October 2025

Qatar in Gaza: The Fox Guarding the Henhouse
Qatar’s attempt to position itself as the dominant force in the reconstruction and administration of the Gaza Strip is nothing short of hypocrisy cloaked in humanitarian rhetoric.

Now, in the aftermath of war, it seeks to appear … [Read more...] about Qatar in Gaza: The Fox Guarding the Henhouse
