The wonderful Abu al Abed restaurant in Jaffa (Yefet 92) was set on fire the other night by some right wing Jewish fuckers who want to stir up trouble. They also sprayed some racist slogans on the outside walls. It’s...

This just popped up on my Twitter feed and sounds well cool. A former hi-tech lady turned vegan chef has started a business of selling tasty, healthy, vegan dips in health food stores around Israel. She also happens to be...

If you’re in Tel Aviv right now – Oh my god! I’m glad I didn’t get blown away by the storm. I foolishly thought I could go to lunch at a cafe today and only made it 200 metres before...
