Eli Herb Times of Israel, July 29, 2022 “From a mythic perspective, the book of Job is not even trying to answer a theological question. As a text, it leaves us with the same age-old problem: we don’t know why there is suffering but we know it sucks.” How did the book of Job […]

Giles Fraser Unherd, July 31, 2025 “What is particularly shabby about Starmer’s announcement is that he is playing with people’s lives — with Palestinian and Israeli ones — not because he believes recognising a state of Palestine is the right thing to do at this moment, but because of his own troubled domestic political situation.” […]
Gilad Erdan Israel Hayom, July 31, 2025 “The battle for perception is not a secondary engagement in scope.
