Those that are regular readers of this blog, know that I think and write often about the Israeli/Palestine conflict. I thought I had a deep knowledge of this subject and was really surprised when I learned about the importance of the Christian Zionist movement. About seventy million evangelist born-again Christians in the United States believe … Continue reading

Preview of coming attractions
It has been more than seven weeks since I have written a blog post. I have several draft posts but haven’t been able to devote the time and energy to complete them. I miss the time I spend writing this blog, but I have been very busy. The transition from living in Tel Aviv – … Continue reading
34 years of not Becoming Steve Jobs
Here I go again, writing about Steve Jobs. For the last 34 years, Steve Jobs played a role in my life, although not one of which he was particularly aware. This post is not really a review of the book “Becoming Steve Jobs”. Rather it is a discussion of my interaction/reaction with Jobs either directly … Continue reading
Iran: A bad good deal or a good bad deal
Of course, everyone is talking about the Iran Nuclear Deal especially here in Israel where I am living at the moment.

Mourning in the Morning: How the liberal press optimism and latent fear resulted in Bibi’s victory

Periodically, my friend, Jean-Patrick Grumberg and I get together at a Cafe to chat. Jean-Patrick likes to work articles that he publishes on very successful French blog while having breakfast. I join him on occasions, but I just have coffee since I get up much earlier than he does (or maybe anyone else) and would … Continue reading
Bibi, King Maker, Double Agent, Politician, Fool or some combination?
I am afraid that I have to add my voice to the discussion about the speech or should I say, performance of Bibi Netanyahu at the Congress. There was so much discussion leading up to this event about the purpose that the various parties had in creating this situation. I am not going to repeat … Continue reading
