Edit Profile
Career
He is a columnist in the Israeli newspaper Maariv and previously wrote in Haaretz and Makor Rishon. He was a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, at a pre-army mechina (a preparatory program), and at other colleges in Israel. He was also a research associate at the Institute for Zionist Strategies.
Ronen was elected one of the top one-hundred influential Jews in the world by the Algemeiner Journal.
In January 2015 Shoval, running as a candidate in Habayit Hayehudi"s primary, called for an investigation into editors at Haaretz, accusing them of "defeatist propaganda" prohibited under Statute 103 of Israel"s penal code. In response to Shoval"s accusations on Facebook, multiple death threats against Haaretz editors were posted, which Shoval promised to remove.
The Haaretz cartoon that sparked the death threats said "10 journalists killed in attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, about 13 journalists killed last summer in attack on Gaza" and "JeSuisGaza" below JeSuisCharlie. Ronen holds a Bachelor of Arts in international relations and an M.A in Jewish Philosophy from the Hebrew University.
He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Jewish political thought from the Paris West University Nanterre Louisiana Défense (graduating summa cum laude, mentored by Professor Shmuel Trigano).
