Israeli security forces arresting a Palestinian in East Jerusalem
A third intifada will cost Israel much more than the first two
As it looks like it's going to happen, the form of the next intifada bears thinking about. Short missile wars is one thing. Can the Israeli economy cope with years of unrest?

Protesting the unrest at Al-Aqsa, in Hebron
What could trigger a third intifada? The Palestinian economy, stupid
A West Bank economy in distress creates the kind of combustible material that could let the Temple Mount clashes explode into mass unrest.

Russian President Vladimir Putin shakes hands with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right
Bibi and Putin: Men of destiny (in their own minds)

Competition: No solution to Israel’s high cost of living after all
Kahlon was wrong: Now Israel has too many cellphone companies. In Israel's tiny economy, competition isn't always going to work.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, July 27, 2015.
As global stocks tumble, have faith in Bibi-nomics to shelter Israel
Four things to remember: Don’t believe anything you hear, have no faith in the markets or in Beijing, do have faith in Israel's Prime Minister.
