July 30, 2011 - News & Politics - 2
It’s hard: Sometimes I feel like Daniel Sieradski, who Chandler describes in the opening paragraph of his piece, ready to give up, disillusioned with Israel, Zionism and Jewish community. It’s easy to get down where you pick up a newspaper or when you feel unengaged or ignored, but it’s important to remember there are partners, there are people who share your values, and they are doing good things, and then to persevere. I guess that’s just one more challenge we now face.

Some may criticise liberal Zionism, but I love it
April 11, 2011 - News & Politics - 4
The last few weeks have seen polarising debate about Israel – between the ruthless boycott agenda coming from some extremist elements on the anti-Israel left, and the knee jerk defensiveness from some overly ardent conservatives on the right.
