  • Natural gas for domestic use and export
    By AMIT MOR
    Tamar natural gas rig.
    Industrial sector is shifting quickly to utilize cheap gas, which provides advantage to exporters over their international competitors.
  • Perspectives: DSM-5 and fallacy of biblical analogy
    By BENJAMIN W. CORN
    Torah scribe
    No matter what we choose as our bible, our “clinical canon” – including DSM-5 and CSM-7 – will never match that divine text for us.
  • Encountering Peace: Moving from despair to hope
    By GERSHON BASKIN
    Netanyhau arrives for weekly cabinet meeting at his office in Jerusaelm, May 26, 2013
    On the battlefield for peace those on the front line confront a combined force made up of cynicism, hate, fear, anger, and a lot of despair.
EDITOR'S PICKS
It is bitterly ironic that the finance minister, Yair Lapid, who rode to 19 mandates on the back of his promises to the middle class, will take the wrecking ball to the last vestiges of state assistance... to the middle class.
HILIK BAR
As a couple of weeks have now passed since President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel, it is possible to get a better perspective on many of its aspects. Focus must not only be placed on what was said and done, but also on what was missing.

President Shimon Peres at his 90th birthday celebration June 18, 2013.
President Peres
Money, unfortunately, was focus of much of discussion surrounding Peres’s 90th birthday celebrations, rather than the exceptional man himself.

Preconditions have no basis in law or fact
By ALAN BAKER
Palestinian call to return to talks if preconditions met constitutes Palestinian political manipulation, duplicity and sheer falsehood.
