My Word
MY WORD: Liat Collins’s motto is “Putting the pun in pundit.” The veteran Jerusalem Post writer seeks to inform readers through her commentary on a broad range of topics including Israeli politics, current affairs, culture, and the Middle East, while keeping them entertained with a generous amount of wordplay.
My Word: War goes beyond imagination
Israel doesn’t need your sympathy – although that would be nice. It needs you to recognize the dangers all of us are facing. This isn’t a drill, it’s the real thing.
My Word: Vibes, vibrations, and tectonic shifts
My Word: Wide awake in a war
My Word: War here, there, and everywhere
My Word: Words, wars, and signs of the times
Collins dubbed "Brat" the word of the year, which established "brat summer" as an aesthetic and way of life. Clearly the global Collins wordsmiths didn't have the type of summer we had in Israel.
My Word: Dealing in dangerous deals
Ehud Olmert’s revived peace plan reemerges amidst Israel’s conflict, risking further turmoil without offering a real path to peace.
My Word: Terrorism thrives while the world watches
The murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas, after months of captivity, has sent shockwaves through Israel. While the world offers words of condemnation, Hamas continues its brutality without fear.
My Word: Biden’s speech, Hamas’s deeds
Biden has a vision of a peaceful Middle East “the day after Gaza.” If only Israel’s enemies shared the same vision. The terrorists are more inspired by Hamas’s “victory” than by Biden’s nice words.
My Word: The Hague’s moral haze leaves a stain on history
Khan wanted to leave his mark. And he has. It’s a dark, bloody bruise. A stain on history.
My Word: Biden, the Eurovision, and offensive questions and answers
If Israel is not able to defend itself – hitting back at its enemies – nobody will be safe. “Ironclad support” is meaningless if it translates as a steely grip preventing Israel from taking action.
My Word: Combining commemoration and celebration
We survive not just because we remember the past but because we understand that, no matter what, we have a future. Am Yisrael chai!
My Word: Dos and don’ts in defense and diplomacy
If Israel is not free to act without the blessing of Western powers, their support is a mixed blessing indeed.
The warning signs in symbols and slogans of the pro-Palestine cause - comment
Nothing is lost in translation, but there are still those who prefer not to read the writing on the wall in any language.
My Word: The Eurovision and the drums of war
The Eurovision is scheduled to take place in May in the Swedish city of Malmo, which has a large Muslim immigrant community and a dwindling Jewish one, chased out by antisemitism.
My Word: Sanctioning settlers and the two-state obsession
The settler sanctions affair is closely related to another issue – another prize for terrorism.
