Mida (Hebrew: מידה) is an Israeli current affairs and opinion online magazine self-identifying with classical and conservative liberalism, and the national-liberal Right,[1][2] targeting a secular and right-wing readership in both the political and economic sense of the term, comparable to the US Republican Party of 2013, with a "realist position" on security issues.[3]

History and profile[edit]

Mida was launched by Ran Baratz[who?][4] and El Haprat, a nonprofit organization financed by the New York-based Tikvah Fund,[3][5] chaired by Roger Hertog.

Some of its articles had been published[when?] on the HaAyin HaShevi'it Internet site.[citation needed]

In 2017, the Nrg.co.il website posted the findings of Akiva Bigman, at that point reporting both under the logo of Israel Hayom and Mida, in the Umm al-Hiran incident, which lead to the death of a Bedouin teacher and a policeman.[6][7]
