“You’ve got to admire Orit Arfa…For years, we’ve been told we’re incapable of doing more than one thing at once, yet here you’ll do three simultaneously: drop your jaw, shake your head and rub your eyes in disbelief.’ -Ha’aretz on “Gaza Wrecking Ball”
Find The Nazi!
Orit ventured to the Bundestag, the German parliament, to take down those Nazis on the day German lawmakers voted against Israeli plans to apply sovereignty over Israeli-controlled areas. But she ran into some snags. Will the real Nazi please stand up!

There is no sugar coating it. There is no silver lining. There is no "good will come out of it." There is no "look at the bright side." There is no "at least...." We don't know when this will end. This whole situation just sucks. Orit had no choice but to sing the blues...The Corona Blues.

Interview with Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, Rabbi of Chabad Berlin
„Wir werden nicht untergehen“, sagt Teichtal, der 1996 „mit einem Einwegticket“ aus New York nach Berlin kam. „Wir sind froh, wir sind stolz“, gibt er zur Antwort, „sie bringen Dunkelheit, wir bringen Licht, wir werden uns nie verstecken, wir werden uns nicht unterkriegen lassen, auf keinen Fall! Never, ever, ever!“ Teichtal fordert „Nulltoleranz gegen Intoleranz“ und findet es befremdlich, „dass höchste Repräsentanten der deutschen Regierung einem Land, das Israel vernichten will, zum 40. Jahrestag der Revolution gratulieren“. Er gesteht den Deutschen ein ehrliches Bemühen um ein tolerantes Deutschland zu, sagt aber auch, dass die deutsche Gesellschaft dafür etwas tun muss: „Manchmal fehlt mir die Zivilcourage“.
The Orit Arfa Show: From Start-up Nation to Grown-up Nation Israel
Without Israeli hi-tech genius, there would be no Face ID recognition on the iPhone, no "Did you mean...?" function for Google typos...the new Berlin taxi-share service "BerlKönig" also relies on Israeli technology. So far, Israeli companies have been cooperating primarily with the USA. But more attention is being paid to Germany. Can this c to contribute to strengthening German-Israeli friendship?
[WATCH] Interview with US Ambassador to Germany, Richard “Ric” Grenell
On May 8, 2018, US Ambassador Richard Grenell arrived in Berlin and quickly made an impact in Germany. Orit engages the Ambassador for a 30-minute interview for the leading German online political magazine, Achgut.com, in which he looks back on his year in Berlin and the issues that are important to him: improving the transatlantic alliance, an authentic approach to diplomacy, NATO and the Iran deal, support for Israel, and LGBT rights.
Interview with Cooper: Germany Must Step Up
Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center gives astounding insights into the German-Israel-Jewish relationship, some of which are worrying. Germany’s insistence on trading ties with Iran, its increased funding to UNRWA, the overlooking anti-Semitism of the Left, and Holocaust memorialization are just some of the issues discussed.
Catch a (Nazi) Jew!
Last year, Orit went on a Nazi-hunt at an AfD victory party in Munich. AfD, after all, is supposed to be Germany's neo-Nazi party. She didn't find Nazis there, but it seems the AfD hid their Naziness to recruit Jews! Talk about diabolical! (Click above for the English subtitled version.)
