CONTRIBUTE
Writers and citizens are welcome to submit articles.
You may write under your real name or a pseudonym.
Articles may be submitted in any language. We usually publish in Hebrew and English.
Send submissions by email (see Contact below). Sensitive material may be encrypted to our OpenPGP key.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Agree with an article? Furious about one? Write us a letter. In the oldest newspaper tradition, we publish selected reader responses beneath the articles they answer. There is no comment section — every published word passes through the editor first, and nothing about you is stored on any server.
How it works:
- Email your letter (see Contact) — mention which article it responds to.
- Sign it however you wish: a pseudonym, initials, or "Name withheld". Never include details that identify you.
- Sensitive letters may be encrypted to our OpenPGP key (see Contact).
- The editor selects letters for publication and may shorten them. Publication is a choice, not a right — and so is staying unpublished: say so, and your letter stays private.
Prefer conversation to correspondence? Message the editor on SimpleX Chat (below).

The app is free and open source, and runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux.
