Advocating a secure and just Israel. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Al Arabiya, Al Jazeera … but where’s Al Israela? We’ve come to understand that the way in which Israel’s military conflicts are portrayed in the media constitute another front in the war against her; one which she is losing ground on. The need for such a channel became blindingly obvious during the 1st Hezbollah War (2006). And again during the 1st Hamas War (2009). Service. According to the Twitter bio:. And the like – but also to BBC Wo...

Advocating a secure and just Israel. Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Boutique wineries: a model for the survival of Israeli agriculture? Does the example of boutique wineries provide a model for the survival and even growth of the rest of the Israeli agricultural sector? I believe it does. Consider the following. The Slow Food movement. Meat produced without growth hormones, animal by-products, etc. Non-GM (genetically modified) crops. Support for locally grown food and/or family farms.

Altneuland: Jordan To Go Ahead With Red-Dead Canal Project
http://blog.altneuland.info/2009/05/jordan-to-go-ahead-with-red-dead-canal.html
Advocating a secure and just Israel. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Jordan To Go Ahead With Red-Dead Canal Project. According to a handful of (somewhat conflicting) news reports, Jordan appears to have decided to go its own way, by proceeding with the controversial Red-Dead Canal Project without involvement from Israel (or the PA). How does this affect Israel, and what should her reaction be? Why abandon the Red-Dead Canal Project without a fight? Grave doubts as to whether the introduction of water from the Red...

Altneuland: Hands Off The Law of Return!
http://blog.altneuland.info/2009/02/hands-off-law-of-return.html
Advocating a secure and just Israel. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Hands Off The Law of Return! I get very nervous when I hear of plans to modify Israel’s Law of Return. Such as the latest initiative on the part of Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit, involving a special committee headed by Professor Yaakov Ne'eman. So why am I nervous? And why is this law – which some would see as the very essence of Zionism – under scrutiny, if not attack? And why is the law under attack? Apparently because it “has b...

Altneuland: Building the wrong canal: An alternative to the Red-Dead Canal
http://blog.altneuland.info/2008/05/building-wrong-canal-alternative-to-red.html
Advocating a secure and just Israel. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. Building the wrong canal: An alternative to the Red-Dead Canal. The notion of a canal or tunnel from the Mediterranean or Red Sea to the Dead Sea has a long and distinguished (if somewhat fruitless) history. In the last years of the 19th Century, the concept of a canal and/or tunnel from the Med (running through the south of the Holy Land) was proposed to and embraced by Theodore Herzl. Palestine, Land of Promise,. The latest incarnation of the ...

Advocating a secure and just Israel. Tuesday, March 25, 2008. The Jewish Agency and aliya in the 21st century. Have the leaked press reports regarding the Jewish Agency. 8217;s intention to restructure away its Immigration and Absorption (Aliya) Department. If not, is this really another nail in the coffin of Zionism, or simply a recognition that the balance between Israel and the Diaspora has shifted, and that organisations concerned with aliya. The possibility of emergency evacuation of an entire Jewis...

Altneuland: The Valley of Peace: Why a Med-Kinneret Aqueduct makes more sense
http://blog.altneuland.info/2008/07/valley-of-peace-why-med-kinneret.html
Advocating a secure and just Israel. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. The Valley of Peace: Why a Med-Kinneret Aqueduct makes more sense. A cousin in Australia forwarded me this link to an absolutely superb piece of PR for the Valley of Peace project. A 3D visualization of how such a project could impact the region. While there’s no way a lone blogger can compete with the heavyweights backing the Valley of Peace project. I would like to set out eight good reasons why I believe my Med-Kinneret Aqueduct proposal.
