About Lisa N. Goldman

14 posts · joined 2005-10-25

I am a Canadian-Israeli freelance journalist, based in Tel Aviv. I write about everything from art exhibitions and Tel Aviv clubs to suicide bombings and Palestinian refugee camps. In between I try – with intermittent success – to illustrate the complex human dimension of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Before moving to Israel in 2000, I lived in New York for 10 years – studying, working and generally inhaling that incredibly exciting city. But now Tel Aviv, which I think is one of the most dynamic and fascinating cities in the world, has captured my heart. I blog about life in Israel at On the Face.

This week in Israel: what goin' on?

A small portrait of the translator Lisa N. Goldman · 02:06 · Middle East & North Africa
Well, it seems that not a lot of note is going on in Israel these days. That, at least, appears to be the tacit consensus of the Israeli blogosphere. In the absence of major events like elections, suicide bombings and important holidays, local bloggers are turning to more prosaic issues. ... 1 comment  · read »

As predicted, Ehud Olmert's Kadima won the most Knesset (parliament) seats in last week's national elections, with 29 of the 120 seats. Likud, headed by Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu was crushed: it won only 11 seats, compared to 38 in the 2003 elections. Labour, headed by Amir Peretz, came ... 1 comment  · read »
