Soldiers of God
If there is one thing that is truly frightening it is an army of soldiers who really believe God is on their side. In Israel and in the West people like to believe that Israel is immune to that. That Israel is somehow a secular religious entity and that the rule of law and common sense [...]
Deheisha and Bethlehem Spring 2011
I travelled with my son Eitan to visit Deheishe and to teach karate to Awlad al Muhayyam, children of the camp. We met my dear brother Mazen Faraj and he took us through Bethlehem to the camp. The sights of the camp and the city were harsh and uplifting at the same time. The bustling of [...]
Israel Is No “Island of Stability” April 12, 2011 By Miko Peled
As the battle over the future of the entire Middle East rages on with popular protests demanding change on the one hand and reactionary forces fighting to suppress them on the other, we hear that Israel is being called an island of stability. Being an established democracy for over six decades the Jewish State is [...]
Un Etat en commun dans une patrie commune Par Miko Peled
Benjamin Netanyahou, premier ministre d'Israël déclarait ces derniers temps, Ce qu'il nous faut pour résoudre ces problèmes complexes [pour aboutir à la paix], c'est une façon de penser nouvelle et créatrice .

Liberal Zionism
Setting aside for a moment the argument of whether dividing historic Palestine into two states was ever a good idea, clearly forty years ago it was a viable solution. Today as liberal Zionist Jews and others call for this solution, it is a sad and pathetic sight. In 1967, after the IDF completed the conquest [...]
THE ANSWERS HAVE CHANGED by Miko Peled
It is said of Albert Einstein that he gave a particular exam to a class that had already been given that exam. Alarmed at what he saw and thinking it to be the result of the professor's absent-mindedness, an assistant warned Einstein of what he was about to do. The Professor just smiled and said: [...]
