02.03.06 - The Importance of Voting
One of Israel’s most known communication research, Prop. Yoram Peri, has recently published an article (Hebrew version - http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3220418,00.html ) about the necessity to vote. Peri claims in that article that Israelis must go and vote, and by no means to put in the box a white note (abstained). Why? |

24.01.06 - Ilan Ramon
First Israeli astronaut, 1954- 1.2.2003
Ilan Ramon went on a 16-day mission to space on the Columbia board. Ilan was Israel’s first and only astronaut, so he became an Israeli symbol – a man who lived to his dreams and went as far as a human been can go.
Being Israeli meant that Ramon was representing a whole nation, a tiny one that achieved something many other nations did not achieve. During his mission, Ramon was submitting different experiments in space, some planned by Israeli youth. |

So here is an article (from ha'aretz) that really made me think. |
