How to Save Israeli Education (at No Additional Cost), offers a detailed and
feasible policy proposal for improving Israel’s education system. It’s NOT the
Electoral System, Stupid (2013) demonstrates through comparative analysis
why Israel’s electoral system is no worse than those of other democracies and
therefore should not be changed. Most recently, Winning the War of Words
(2015) compiles her key essays on Israel and Zionism.
