Ayelet Tsabari on Israel

“The sea is such a big part of life in Israel, of Israeli culture. You can actually taste it in the air.”

“For a long time I didn’t write about Israel at all. It’s such a volatile place and people have such strong opinions and everything you write about Israel is perceived as political...”

“Israel is a very small place, as you know, there’s something that can feel very familial about it, which is both positive and not so positive at different times and different instances.”
