The Fifth Column
"The Land is very very good." -- Numbers 14:7
The State of Israel is constantly undergoing upheavals as vital questions of national policy, security, and social issues are discussed.

Tensions surface between religious and secular, right and left, Sefardi and Ashkenazi, and just about any other societal group in Israel.

A great deal of noise is made while a great deal of people have nothing intelligent to say.

This section contains an archive of Op-Ed articles I have written dating back to the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. It is hoped that these articles can provide some balance and sanity to the debates and diatribes being heard in every corner of Israel.
