  • The way the Internets are played in Israel.

    This is a funny kind of report, funded by Google Israel, but it’s still interesting to note: Arabs in Israel blog more than Jews, study finds (or if you can’t stomach JPost so well, here’s Israel Hayom). It’s not surprising that over 70% of Israelis surf the internet. It is kinda interesting to learn that Haredim beat…
