HaOkets
Haokets (The Sting) started in August 2003, as a personal blog in Hebrew by Dr. Yossi Dahan and Dr. Itzik Saporta. In an attempt to offer an alternative to the mainstream Israeli media motivated mainly by ratings and subservience to capital and political interests, we decided to broaden its scope to a magazine-like format, while still adhering to a non-commercial ethos. Currently our website offers an independent platform for critical discussion, where hundreds of writers publish on socioeconomic, cultural and philosophical issues, human rights activism, feminism, and especially Mizrahi politics which has been consistently neglected by both the mainstream media and the more leftist voices in Israeli non-governmental politics.

Song for Zohra Elfassia / Erez Biton
Zohra Elfassia
Was court singer for Muhammad the Fifth in Rabat in Maroc.
They say of her that when she sang,
Soldiers would fight with knives
To make their way through the crowd
To reach the hem of her dress
To kiss the tips of her fingers
To give thanks with a silver real
Zohra Elfassia
Today can be found
In Ashkelon, in the ruins of the Third, near the Aid Office,
Scent of sardine cans remains on a rickety three-legged table,
Astonishing royalty rugs all disheveled on an Agency bed, [2]
In a dressing gown stared
For hours in the mirror
In cheap maquillage colors
And when she says:
Muhammad the Fifth, apple of our eye
You do not at first understand.
Zohra Elfassia has a throaty voice,
A crystalline heart and eyes sated with love.
Zohra Elfassia.
(From the book Moroccan Gift)
