שמחתי לגלות בסקר שלי (ושל אחרים לפניי) שמלחמת השקרים נגד מערכת המשפט בישראל פשוט לא משכנע את רוב העם. כישלון. @zehavagalon , שהזמינה את הסקר במסגרת "זולת — לשוויון וזכויות אדם" מסבירה למה

Instead of worrying about unilateral recognition of a #Palestinian state, we need to talk about about unilateral #Israeli rejection of that state. This & other arguments re: Pal state here.

Is recognizing a Palestinian state a reward for terror?

You need to read on the ground reporting, and go through Lod/Lyd step by step, to understand. Walk through the riots with @OrenZiv1985 who was there (and everywhere) #Israel #Palestine

How Israeli police are colluding with settlers against Palestinian citizens

West Bank settlers swarmed the city of Lyd Wednesday, where they threw stones at Palestinian residents with backing from Israeli forces.

Let's clarify that #Netanyahu is not some sort of moderate trying holding back his far right elements. He wants to destroy #Israel 's judiciary & his govt is out of control. I look at his actions, not his soul. My intrvw on @NPR

How much is Israel's new government trying to change the balance of power?

With a coalition that includes far-right figures, Benjamin Netanyahu is prime minister again. NPR's Steve Inskeep talks to Dahlia Scheindlin, a columnist for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

בוקר טוב! רגע לפני מבול הפרופוגנדה שאורב לנו השבוע, תזכרו: נתניהו לא ניצוח בבחירות ורוב העם הכריע נגדו.62 מנדטים, רוב אזרחי ישראל, בחרו במפלגות שנשבעו להחליפו. מה שקרה אחר כך רחוק מאוד מרצון הבוחר על פי רוב. יאללה עובדות!

A poll this week showed majority of #Israelis worry about civil war. I don't actually think we'll get there - but Israel might lose its soul anyway. My thoughts, today's @guardian / Observer.

Will Israel escape civil war? Even if it does, it will surely lose its soul

The new law suffocating judicial independence will bring autocratic rule to Israeli citizens as well as Palestinians

Remember how the JCPOA=existential threat to #Israel ? Wrong. Read what 2 top Isrli military figures told @talschneider : "we [IDF top brass],read the deal& said, 'This is not a perfect agreement, but it is a good agreement...an extraordinary achievement."

Arguing in favor of Iran deal, 2 ex-officers refuse to fall in behind Netanyahu

Breaking ranks with most MKs, Omer Barlev and Yair Golan, two of the top security experts in politics, say the JCPOA was good for Israel, even if everyone else refuses to say so

Nuanced & thoughtful review by @edokonrad of new book by a nuanced & thoughtful thinker, the only person I really trust to explain Fanon - Adam Shatz.

Who was Frantz Fanon, the freedom fighter Palestine supporters love to quote?

The 20th-century psychiatrist, who saw violence as necessary to liberation from colonialism, is routinely referenced in conversations about Gaza. A new book considers the complexities of an icon
