There are many, many other blogs that are trustworthy and accurate, if I understand this blog's goal. I suggest, you open this blog for outside input.

enhance their perspective and outlook. It would be interesting for Israelis to know what others are thinking and how much support they really have.
In addition, there are Israeli websites and blogs that are indeed most informative. However, until the Editor decides to welcome recommendations, I will not submit
any.
