Goldstone's Merits
Israel has not carried out an investigation of its own culpability for war crimes since 1983, when the Kahan Commission submitted the results of its investigation of the massacre of Palestinian civilians in Beirut’s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Despite its flaws, the Goldstone Report provides compelling evidence as to why Israel must conduct a similarly credible investigation of Operation Cast Lead.

Production History: Zoos of Berlin's Labor of Love
Zoos of Berlin’s new album finds a silver lining in the dark skies of Detroit’s precipitous industrial decline, turning a former auto parts facility into a staging ground for polished, eclectic pop. With nods to Motown, garage rock and electronica, this self-released record is a stirring aural palimpsest that testifies to the maturation of do-it-yourself culture.

America as Spectator
The next phase of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is about to begin. The question before Barack Obama is how much of a hand he wants to have in directing it. If Washington wants to take part, it must do so now, before facts on the ground render it completely ineffective.

Minority Tongue: Hebrew Literature in the United States
Modern Hebrew literature did not begin in Israel. In the 19th century, a new secular Hebrew literature arose in Eastern Europe and then the United States. Here, Hollander reviews a new book by Stephen Katz, who argues that this literature was a minority tongue, more at home with African-American gospel than old-time tefillah.

Skipping A Beat: The Coen Brothers' A Serious Man
What do you do when all the truths you took for granted turn out to be lies? Larry Gopnick, the protagonist of A Serious Man, the Coen Brothers’ latest film, falls through the looking glass into an alternate reality far scarier than Alice’s famous Wonderland. Too old to be turned on by the first flowerings of the Summer of Love and too young to remember a Jewish identity not shadowed by the Holocaust, he struggles to find his bearings in a disenchanted world suddenly reanimated by the promise of hidden meaning.
