Eyal Waldman is one of Israelis leading high tech figures who also happens to have spoken out against the current government. In order to avoid awarding him the prestigious Israel Award for Excellence, the Minister of Education announced that he was canceling the award this year.
Israel’s version of the Wall St. Journal wrote a nice article about NVIDIA and what was formerly Mellanox. Worth reading.
After months of building a narrative that Bibi was not responsible for failing to protect Israelis on Oct 7, Israelis are finding it harder not to respond. Israeli society has managed to remain unified for 143 days despite our political leadership. The existential threat posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and their allies, and the rise of antisemitism around the world have kept us focused and united. But the relentless efforts of Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben Gvir to undermine national unity are beginning to have an effect.
Antigovernment protests are back in addition to the Bring Them Protests. This is a sad state of affairs because the hostage families are determined to keep their protest apolitical.
In this issue, we focus on the following five issues:
Bring Them Home NOW
Antisemitism in Europe and North America
Islamic Fundamentalism vs. Pluralism
Nassar Hospital & Search for Hostages
Israeli Hostages and the Political Situation
In this issue, we’ve chosen to highlight the need to Bring the Hostages Home Now because time is running out, Gazalighting and its even more evil twin - UNRWA, and the need for new elections in Israel to end the divisive role that the government is playing in the middle of a war.
We also have a guest article by Ilan Samish entitled “Elections Now! A cry of a growing protest throughout Israel”.
In Hearts Divided by Conflict, we look at the tear wrenching relationship between war and love. In UNRWA Supports Terror, is a must read section full of surprises - even for those who have been following the news. The War in Gaza section gives you a little insight that you might not get if you depend on the New York Times or Washington Post for news about it.
Hostage Stories contains first hand reports of the conditions in which they were held and in which the remaining 134 are living under. The Great Pretenders in Congress - Eyes-On-You is about many of the members of Congress that pretend to care about your values - but don’t. Not all members of congress are the same - but a deep-dive into some of them might surprise you. Israeli Politics brings you up-to-date with what is happening in Israel, as Israelis see it. This is very different than what most of the editorialists, like Thomas Friedman, write.
Best of all - we have some fun calls for action that you can both enjoy and actually help out at the same time.
