The Betsalel Academy has celebrated graduating its students for the year 2010 last week. The ceremony included a show of the artistic and fashion works that the students made.

An Arab Student Nada Nafar made a seam garment that looked different and interesting. Once Nada was asked about her project she replied by saying: The cloth embraces the Human body, the house embraces the Human and the space embraces the house, the human, the culture and the identity. Read more…

The latest war on Lebanon resulted in killing more than 1200 Lebanese Read more…

It seems that Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu thought very well of what kind of statements he should make while visiting the United States. While the
Israeli army is marketing a new file that includes several Hezbullah targets on the borders, the Israeli Politicians are trying to fix Israel’s picture around the world. Ben Eliezer’s call for a real Israeli action to stop the damage that is happening to Israel’s reputation because of its ongoing occupation of the Palestinian people was answered by a new Israeli smart plan that would take the Palestinians into another round of fake negotiations.

One of the things that can be easily done is to isolate yourself and live a secured life. Some of us may think that by staying alone everything will be just fine.
We start to isolate ourselves by staying alone and away from those who are usually around us. In the end we find ourselves living a life that may be stable but lacks any kind of challenges.
Some would prefer a life that is quiet, stable and empty of any kind of surprises. We convince ourselves that by staying alone we wont be hurt and that no one Read more…
