Why are Liberal Israelis talking about emigrating? Read my latest in TIME about why Israel’s elections have struck fear in many of the people I know. time.com/6230211/netany…

Why do #LGBTQs fear the new Israeli government? And why did one gay man I spoke to support the party that despises him? My latest for the JTA | Jewish news. jta.org/2022/11/14/isr…

Insider on-the-ground view of the life of Iranian protesters. Young women sent voice messages to share their stories w/reporter Allyson Horn, ABC Australia. Powerful.

In his last column b4 he died this week, Israeli author #MeirShalev had a message. He didn’t like “vulgarity,” “violence,” “radicalism” & “vengefulness” of most Jewish holidays and he condemned #Itamarbengvir : “…with so much Jewish power, it’s hard to see Judaism.”

It's out! Months of research and tons of coffee later, "Deadly Pattern," the report I wrote for the Committee for the Protection of Journalists was released to the world. My findings reveal how the #Israeli army whitewashes its killings of journalists. x.com/pressfreedom/s…

I’m now an “award-winning journalist”! My story on the post-election fears of LGBTQ Israelis won first place in the Rockower Awards! It was part of a package with 4 other JTA reports on the outcome of Israel’s 2022 election. jta.org/2022/11/14/isr…

At this moment Netanyahu has probably the most important decision of his life. He has to call the bluff of either the military volunteer reservists whose refusal to serve will put the country in danger or the bluff of the 3 men in his coalition who threaten to bring down the govt

I didn’t expect the #Iranian drones to target any part of Jerusalem. We were in for a surprise tonight. Let’s hope #Israel acts wisely. A retaliation to the retaliation could mean regional war. 💥

Jenin, Jenin. Israeli military incursion ongoing and people are still under siege and curfew. Negotiations ongoing for a 2-hour pause for people to get food and milk for babies. Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers shot at journalists there who were clearly visibly marked. No injuries.

Incredible NYT investigative report uses social media videos and on-the-ground interviews in #Gaza to reveal who the Abu Salah family was, how they were killed together on a street and what happened to them afterward. Outstanding work led by Riley Mellen. The end is shocking.

The news we have been waiting for over 13 months: a Hamas-Israel prisoner-hostage swap and ceasefire deal. Holding my breath that no Palestinian or Israeli civilians are killed before it goes into effect on Sunday at noon. 🙏

It’s #WorldPressFreedomDay, but when it comes to Gaza there’s no freedom for the press. Since 7/10/2023, Israel has prevented foreign journalists from entering #Gaza and killed more than 210 of the local Palestinian journalists and media workers who were reporting.

Sharing from #Gaza ⏰: Yesterday, the #Israeli bombings of Gaza were horrific. حمزة مصطفى أبو توهة wrote that his next-door neighbor’s building was bombed, then this happened:

For 2 days, Sky News UK int'l correspondent Alex Rossi and I drove around the West Bank and learned how #Israeli settlers push #Palestinians off their land. It was a tense & revealing assignment (and I made a couple cameos) Watch: youtu.be/8I04SiWenvk?si… #Journalism #humanrights
