Old World New Ideas

New Blog

I started a new blog recently. It's called iKibbitz. It's going to be a Jewish collective blogging experience. It's still in the development phase, but I already started writing there. I'll try to have my posts published in both sites, but please check there first. I have a longer description on the website in a post title "Welcome to iKibbitz".

If you are a blogger who would like to join, please contact me at mweis89 [at] gmail [dot] com. It's going to start Jewish but we are going to add none-Jewish bloggers sooner or later. If anyone is willing to offer help to create a WordPress theme for free, also contact me.

About Me

I decided to start this blog because I was not satisfied with the discourse I was having on the Israeli-Arab issue on other blogs such as PhlipWeiss, RichardSilverstein, LGF, JIDF, and others. Peace and Human Rights are among my concerns. To a large extent, it seems that other blogs demonize the other "side" (Israeli or Arab) rather than discussing ways to solve the issue or the positive side to the Middle East. I plan to comment on some stories regarding that area. There is a lot of change happening over there , for better or worse, starting with Israel and spreading across the Middle East. I will cover the stories that I think are important to paint an honest picture of the Middle East (Old World) and show progress (New Ideas) towards peace, freedom, and equality. I was born in Israel on a secular kibbutz. My mother was born in Tunisia, but grew up in France. My father was born the US. In total, I have roots in Spain, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Russia, Tunisia, France, Israel, and the US.
