Israel Reconsidered is a blog authored by Larry Derfner, a columnist with the Jerusalem Post and Richard Silverstein, who writes the Tikun Olam blog. They plan to debate the timeless and timely issues related to Israel, Zionism, the Jewish Diaspora, and Israel’s relations with its Arab neighbors and its role in the Middle East. Our goal is to create a progressive vision and way forward for Israel amid the trials and tribulations it faces.
The blog banner is an image by Meagan Shapiro taken from the film, Promises. It features the Israeli Jewish and Palestinian boys, Yarko and Faraj. It represents our notion of a what a tolerant, democratic future-Israel can look like.
