A few months ago, PresenTense Magazine co-sponsored a performance of an inventive monologue show called “Love and Israel,” which portrays real people’s stories about love, Israel, loving Israel, being tourists in Israel, joining the army in Israel, having a cat in Israel, being in love in Israel, and, by the way, also Israel. (Did I say Israel enough?) Anyway, just got this news from the directors that I wanted to share.

Love and Israel has been accepted to perform in the Eighth Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival this summer. Love and Israel explores the human side of Israel through the eyes of different writers who have a personal relationship with the country. A series of funny, serious, sexy and soul-baring monologues are performed by an ensemble cast. Produced by Sissy Block and Ilana Lipski. Order your tickets for Love and Israel today:

  • I LOVE ISRAEL
    The existence of the Zionist entity in the heart of the Arab-Muslim is in itself a strange Because the Zionist entity is not shared with the Arab world, anything that characteristics such as religion, customs Traditions and language. The existence of Israel within the Arab world is a big mistake, and constant tension In the Middle East also note since 1948. Such as the entry of foreign objects inside the human body begins Body fever, tension and fatigue and to ensure even go out foreign objects. To all Arab and Islamic countries to form the Ministry of Defence and one common to all States and the expulsion of the Jews From the Middle East. This is the best choice for Arabs and Jews in that one because the Jewish people will never feel the stability and comfort, but if Came out of Palestine, all Palestine greetings to all

  • I LOVE ISRAEL?!
    There is no democracy in Israel as a state is illegitimate and illegal and not recognized
    Evidence of this if anyone wanted to write a comment in the Israeli websites
    Does not allow him or be there are many obstacles to prevent him from writing a comment The reasons for Arab-Israeli conflict is the occupation of Palestine in 1948.
    Palestine Arab Islamic state like the rest of the Arab and Islamic states surrounding
    Them. Means that there are Jews and Zionists in Palestine a big mistake, because this entity
    Zionist is not consistent with the surrounding area (such as language, customs, traditions and religion)
    The only solution to end the Arab-Israeli conflict is the expulsion of Jews from Palestine
    All of Palestine. The Jewish people will not rest and will not feel comfortable and stability
    But if it gets out of Palestine and the Middle East completely. If people continue to
    Jews in Palestine and the Middle East, the death and destruction will continue.
    Palestine Arab Islamic state and will remain
