Resident Traveler: Jerusalem Elections - A Test of Rationality (please vote!)
http://residenttraveler.blogspot.com/2008/11/jerusalem-elections-test-of-rationality.html
Ramblings of an English-Speaking Native-Born Israeli Guy. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Jerusalem Elections - A Test of Rationality (please vote! Resident Traveler's definition of campaigning: the process of a party or candidate disseminating the lies they think will get them the most votes. And then posting them all over town, with no accountability - is no less an insult. It's tempting to run myself, just say I can draw up posters of "Free jacuzzis for all Jerusalem residents! Or "100,00 1. Dot Co Dot Il.

Turning the Tide: April 2006
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Monday, April 10, 2006. Book Review: Postville - A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America. What happens when Brooklyn Lubavitchers move to rural Iowa to open America's largest kosher slaughterhouse? To call it a clash of cultures is to put it mildly: the two groups could not have been more different. Bloom spends most of the book talking to people on both sides of the divide and finds each side simmering with hatred for the other. Thursday, April 06, 2006.

Turning the Tide: August 2005
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Thursday, August 18, 2005. As I perused the usual assortments of websites and blogs this morning, I hit upon something interesting on my friend Dan's site, Orthodox Anarchist (http:/ www.orthodoxanarchist.com/. That's why Israel advocacy must make every effort to reach people in those groups where anti-Israel groupthink is at its strongest. Because when people encounter diverse ideas, they become less dependent on their groups's ideas and become less wi...

Turning the Tide: November 2005
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Thursday, November 24, 2005. The New Political Landscape. We vote a lot around here. The last time was the fourth time in seven years ('96, '99, '01, and '03). It seems so long ago now. At the end of 2004, we'd gone a full calendar year without voting or dissolving the government. We're finally out of the Netanyahu-Barak era and way past the Peres era. (What would happen if Peres ran for office unopposed? Would he still have to lose? I also wonder if anyone...

Resident Traveler: March 2009
http://residenttraveler.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Ramblings of an English-Speaking Native-Born Israeli Guy. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. 50 Years of True RAWk. Can't really give a context for why this came up, nor claim there's any desperate need for this in the universe, but - I've just always felt there's been a line of true Rawkers; bands that, for their period, represent the true spirit of r'n'r, and that any given point in time, just frickin' ruled. Are still with us! Hell, even Bo Diddley made it until last year. It's a frickin' life force. 46 2004 ...

Resident Traveler: July 2008

Ramblings of an English-Speaking Native-Born Israeli Guy. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. About me #3: Romance Is in the Mundane. About me" posts, despite their name, are meant to have some relevancy to the reader as well. You can see my introduction to them here. Though this now reads to me as somewhat out of date and borderline naive. But hey, tradition is tradition, right? A few days ago, I was sitting at a cafe. And suddenly found myself in the throws of the aforementioned. Small gesture. It's genuine. It se...

Ramblings of an English-Speaking Native-Born Israeli Guy. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. House, M.E. I think the series, and the character of House in particular, are sheer genius. Oh, how I saympathise. Maybe you've been there - in your 30s, relationship dry spell, somewhat hyperactive mind - or maybe your mind just goes hyperactive because you've been living on your own so long that? On those nights with nothing special to do, you begin analyzing yourself psychologically. and analyzing the fact. It's just ...

http://residenttraveler.blogspot.com/2011/02/ive-migrated-to-factpinionswordpresscom.html
Ramblings of an English-Speaking Native-Born Israeli Guy. Sunday, February 13, 2011. I've migrated to factpinions.wordpress.com. Yep, I'm alive and well. This is just to update that as I've gotten married, it seems my thoughts have shifted from those of the perplexed single (gone, but not forgotten), to that of human-rationality arbiter. If you're interested, I've picked this up on my new(ish) blog:. Http:/ factpinions.wordpress.com. Same guy, different focus. Hope you enjoy both! View my complete profile.
