I’ve had an abortion.

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere and I’ve been running some old posts that were particularly meaningful for me. In light of the news that Kansas has essentially managed to eliminate all abortion rights within its borders as of this Friday, I decided to slightly edit and re-up the following. Over [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: Winnie the Pooh and Elmer the Elf.

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere (and I happen to physcially be in Israel right now) so in the meantime I’m running some old posts that I particularly enjoyed writing. I recently read the final chapter in The House at Pooh Corner to my daughter, thus completing our sojourn in the Hundred [...]

Gilad Shalit and 5,383 Palestinians

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere (and in meat world I happen to be in Israel) so in the meantime I’m running some old posts — today I’m running an updated version of a piece I ran a year ago today. It never fails to stun me how much sturm und drang [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: A house.

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere (and I happen to physcially be in Israel right now) so in the meantime I’m running some old posts that I particularly enjoyed writing. There’s this house. It’s at the bottom of a hill, to the left and in a small valley, as you drive north [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: Stuff I wish I knew how to do.

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere, so in the meantime I’m running some old posts that I particularly enjoyed writing. Ah, writing! It’s a lovely profession, but honestly, what do I produce? Having never learned how to do anything that is, in fact, useful, it’s an unfortunate truth that, come [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: The problem.

My family and I are flying to Israel/Palestine this evening (with a brief stopover in London – yay!) and as I get ready to go, I of course find myself thinking about the conflict, the struggles, the desperate need for peace, and what stands in the way of achieving anything like peace. For today’s oldie-but-goodie [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: Ow! My heart!

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere, so in the meantime I’m running some old posts that I particularly enjoyed writing. I was just snuggling with my daughter in her wee bed, and she had been quiet for a minute or two when she says to me: “How many people draw [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: Little post in the suburbs.

I’m not sure what I’ll be doing next in the blogosphere, so in the meantime I’m running some old posts that I particularly enjoyed writing. About a year and a half ago, on a gorgeous summer day, I took the boy and the girl (then nine and five years old) to an entirely delightful historical [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: Fragile

(I’m doing some serious thinking about my place in the blogosphere, but in the meantime am running oldies-but-goodies, because some posts deserve another moment in the sun!) Okee dokee then! Today, both kids were home sick. So, no serious blogging, and indeed, no time even to mine the depths of YouTube or Boing Boing…! The [...]

Oldie-but-goodie: Why two states.

UPDATE: To see me speaking on Russia Today about the Obama speech and Netanyahu reaction to same, please click here: Israel, Palestine, Obama, Netanyahu & me – on Russian TV. ***** A while ago, I was asked in the comments why I support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the case of Israel [...]
