LEE YARON
Author of 10/7: 100 Human Stories
"The definitive account of the 10/7 attacks through the stories of its victims and the communities they called home"
“If you care about Israel, and you care about Palestine, there is no more important book to read than 10/7.”
—Kai Bird
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Crossing Mandelbaum Gate, American Prometheus, and The Good Spy, director of the Leon Levy Center
"A masterpiece of journalism, and of what can only be called humanism.”
—Adam Gopnik
Essayist, staff writer for The New Yorker
“10/7 is a shocking but heartfelt book, whose empathy is the only way forward.”
—Nicole Krauss
Author of History of Love, Great House, Forest Dark, and To Be A Man
"An extraordinary and deeply moving work of reporting about a day whose horrors will haunt Jews for the rest of our lives.”
—Peter Beinart
Author of The Crisis of Zionism and The Icarus Syndrome
“Framed as a journalist’s first draft of history, this book is actually an elegy for those murdered, assaulted, and kidnapped on October 7.”
—Noah Feldman
Author of Scorpions and To Be A Jew Today
"The book's power lies in its ability to contextualize the victims' experiences within the broader scope of their familial trajectories, at the intersection of investigative journalism and oral history.”
—Le Monde

Green Idea
Green Idea is the Middle East's first journalist training program dedicated to climate coverage, offering free education to journalists. The program focuses on teaching journalists how to integrate climate issues and data into their reporting, aiming to raise public awareness through increased media coverage of climate change in the Middle East. The program operates under the auspices of Tel Aviv University and has trained approximately 400 journalists to date. As a result, there has been a threefold increase in climate crisis coverage within the Israeli media landscape during the program's inaugural year. Prior to the training program, climate change accounted for only 0.5% of Israel's media coverage.
Traditional approaches to addressing the climate crisis, such as relying on politicians' actions or large corporations changing their behavior, have proven ineffective over the years. Given the urgency of the climate crisis, with a limited time frame of less than seven years to prevent the worst consequences, the press has a unique role to play. Journalists can serve as a crucial bridge between short-term interests (politicians and capitalists supporting polluting fossil fuel industries) and the long-term public interest in transitioning away from fossil fuels. They can connect scientific findings, political inaction, and public indifference, potentially leading to a tipping point in public and political perceptions that can help prevent irreversible damage to climate systems. In essence, journalists have the potential to play a pivotal role in driving effective action to combat the climate crisis by bringing attention, clarity, and urgency to the issue.
