My name is Aqurette (אקרט) and I’m a Jewish writer whose journalism once spanned the full gamut of contemporary issues. Nowadays, writing is primarily a pastime.
I’m proud to be both a Swedish and an Israeli citizen. Born in 1972 at Höllviken, a small seaside town on the southernmost tip of the Scandinavian Peninsula, I now divide my time between Sweden, Spain, and Israel.
Since 1991, I have written and researched articles on a freelance basis. My preferred method is to build a story based on one-to-one interviews with skilled and experienced people. Nothing beats a really good conversation.
In 1995, I co-founded QX, Sweden’s largest gay magazine. In 2005, I began to keep my diary of daily life and current affairs. In 2026, I set about my first literary project tailored for the online bookshops.
I obtained my Master of Arts in Religious Studies from Lund University in 2015. I specialised in political and religious philosophy. In my thesis, I read court cases to analyse how secular legislation affects religious minorities.
The decision to study religion was taken after a freelance assignment had given me the opportunity to research terrorist incitement on social networks. I wanted to better understand how religious thought shapes people and society.
In the past, I identified too strongly with ideologies. I now know that convictions can be somewhat fluid. However, I’m an enduring advocate of laissez-faire liberalism, European federalism, Zionism, and the rule of law.
I’m not a member of any political party or organisation. I do believe in democracy, but party politics is not for me. All opinions expressed on my website are mine alone. Don’t blame anyone else for my flawed thinking.
