Two new pieces today, for France 24. One is a short collaborative article, with a paragraph quoting me (via phone). If you read French, it’s the piece on Gilad Shalit, featured in the lower left hand corner of the screenshot above.

The second is a long form editorial, about a controversial home video of Israeli troops dancing to the tune of Kesha‘s amusing “Tik Tok”, in Hebron. See the photo on the top right. Both articles are in English, French, and Arabic.

Israel’s raid on the Freedom Flotilla was a complex event. Here’s my take.

If you followed the Israeli elections this week, you’re already aware that the actual victor is not Tzipi Livni or Bibi Netanyahu, but Avigdor Lieberman, a former nightclub bouncer from Moldova. He may have come in third place, but, as Lieberman never ceases to remind us, he’s going to determine Israel’s agenda.

I have my way with the right-wing MK in my latest editorial for France 24. Placing Israel Beiteinu‘s electoral appeal in the context of the failings of the Olmert government, I try and provide something other than the kinds of war-focused explanations currently being offered by the editorials I’ve read thus far.
