I’m a Middle East analyst and writer based in Tel Aviv. Israeli-American-Canadian, half Iraqi and half Ashkenazi, born in Vancouver, by way of Toronto, New York, and Montreal.

I spent a decade in US-Israel policy, most recently at the Israel Policy Forum, then four years in tech. Now I’m back.

I write from inside the conversation — someone who believes in Israel’s future and doesn’t look away from what threatens it. I write when a development changes the picture in a way the standard coverage is missing.
