When the blue buttered Toyota forerunner stopped under the gigantic tree in the crossroad that links Duanza and Timbuktu and the road from Bamako to Gao, I stepped down in stiffed legs, looking like a paralyzed cripple. My legs felt like sticks because I have just finished riding 200 kilometers in seven hours on a lousy dirt road. Most of the road was off road because the desert was softer and w…

In 2008 I went to Yemen to check on the remaining Jews of Yemen. One of the oldest Jewish communities that holds to its traditions. There are 3 main Jewish communities: Ashkenazim, Sephardi and Yemenite. There were less then 200 left in Yemen and the majority at that time were running from the Huties to Sanaa. If there are any today (2021) it will be a miracle. The Jews of Raida…

Not many Israelis have been to Iraq, but the intrepid Tsur Shezaf felt secure enough to reveal his true identity when he visited the tomb of the Biblical prophet Ezekiel in al-Kifl back in 2003.

This place of age-old Jewish pilgrimage dates back to 800 AD, but…

Rachak, Kosovo. 1.1999. Massacre “To Rachak,” I said. “There was a battle there yesterday. Let’s go see what really happened there.” “Just a minute,” said Nasser, taking out large white pages with PRESS printed on them. He stuck the pages to one of the side windows and to the windshield with cellophane tape. I did not know whether this was a good idea in a country where the life of a journali…

“Go! Go!” shouted the American soldiers nervously as we drove past the column of Hummers near the mosque at the entrance to Faluja. The main road was a jumble of vehicles, jittery American soldiers and clusters of Iraqis waving Iraqi flags gathered on the traffic islands. We drove to Faluja because a day earlier American soldiers had fired into a gathering of people who were demonstrating against …
