About Robert Rosenberg

Portrait by Amber Rosenberg
San Francisco, December 2004

Novelist, journalist, editor, translator and sometimes poet, Boston-born Robert Rosenberg authored the New York Times Notable Thriller of 1991, Crimes of the City, which grew into the critically acclaimed Avram Cohen Mystery Quartet. He also wrote Secret Soldier, the autobiography of Muki Betser, the man Ehud Barak called Israel's greatest commando.

He was UPI deskman, reporter and photographer, a Time Magazine reporter, a US News and World Report Correspondent, and is the only Israeli writer to have written in Playboy, in 1986 publishing a story about the Jerusalem bomb squad called Tick, Tick, Tick. And for 12 years, from 1978 to 1990, he was reporter for the old, pre-Hollinger Jerusalem Post, culminating in a thrice-a-week column called Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, which ran in The Post from 1986-1990. Rosenberg co-founded with Michael Eilan two magazines (In Jerusalem, in 1982 and LINK, in 1992), and he was the founding partner of the late DataSphere Ltd, which made and operated Koldoon, the technology startup venture investment wizard, an online database that operated from mid-1999 to the end of 2001.

He has owned and operated Ariga.com since 1995, trying to make it a portal to the peace process in the Middle East, blogging before anyone knew it was called that. It is still the only one-person owned and operated unaffiliated Israeli web site devoted to disseminating information about the Middle East peace process.

Since 2003 Ariga has carried 'Today's Situation,' a Monday-Friday, 1,000 word daily analysis of the day's news from Israel and the Middle East peace process, written by Rosenberg. And since 2001, he has also been a senior editor, translator and newswriter at the International Herald Tribune-Haaretz, the English-language version of Israel's leading daily newspaper, reports via radio for various English-language radio stations, including Deustche Welle and the BBC, and occasionally he's heard in America via PBS.
