New entry law a reminder that Palestinians live in Israel’s prison
The reality in the West Bank is one that resembles a prison, where the prisoners are held for as long as humanly possible. Their release will carry a price — and Israelis are not willing to pay it. The Knesset passed a law Monday night denying entry visas or residency rights to foreign nationals who call for boycotts against Israel or the…

Anti-Semitism in the U.S. doesn’t make me want to move to Israel
Why would American Jews be any less repulsed by the ultra-nationalist tendencies rampant in Israel than they are by those taking hold in America? By Sarah Stern The Jewish day school in Rockville, MD where I spent six years as a student received a bomb threat this week. There have been over 100 threats like…

Could a Palestinian politician best represent American Jewish values?
Progressive American Jews may be willing to stand alongside American Muslims, but are they ready to demonstrate the same solidarity for Arab citizens of Israel? Ayman Odeh, the head of the Joint List, is a test case for where ‘pro-peace’ Jews draw the line. Progressive American Jews have had a hard time in recent years finding…

‘I’m part of a dying breed that believes in two states’
The election of Donald Trump has emboldened fears that the two-state solution will officially be tossed into the dustbin of history.

The Israeli Left’s plan to save the settlements
The thinking behind Isaac Herzog’s 10-point peace plan is the inevitable result of the unequal relationship between an occupying power and an occupied people. It is based entirely on Israel’s concerns, not on any notion that Palestinians have inalienable rights and are entitled to the same freedoms as everyone else. By Mitchell Plitnick Israeli opposition…

What happens the ‘day after’ Netanyahu?
Even as the end of Netanyahu’s reign seems to be approaching, it’s no time to celebrate — the problems in Israel run far deeper than one man. Over the past few years, the top echelons of the Jewish Israeli Left have been trying to figure out how to remove or “replace” Prime Minister Netanyahu. Those…

Labor must take the security narrative back from Netanyahu
The first step is to replace party leader Isaac Herzog, who has adopted the prime minister’s approach to the Palestinians and was willing to join his government. By Nathan Hersh and Abe Silberstein When Netanyahu abandoned the possibility of forming a coalition with Zionist Union by appointing Avigdor Liberman as defense minister, many on the…

Go ahead Herzog, join the coalition
The fact that the head of Israel’s opposition could soon join forces with Netanyahu may actually bode well for the Israeli Left and Palestinian citizens alike. The Israeli media has been beside itself this week with the possibility that the head of the opposition Isaac Herzog, leader of the Labor Party cum Zionist Union, may…

No, Herzog, ‘Arab lovers’ is the last thing you can say about Labor
Isaac Herzog’s plea to the Labor Party to shed their ‘Arab-loving’ image is the latest in a series of pathetic attempts to pander to the right. Might offering a viable political and moral alternative to the right do the trick? By Orly Noy Labor leader Isaac Herzog was absolutely right when he said on Tuesday…

The collapse of Oslo should be a source of hope, not despair
It is a bitter irony that Israelis and Palestinians came into more frequent contact prior to the peace process. The Labor party’s new ‘separation plan’ does nothing to correct that. By Nadia Naser-Najjab Israel’s Labor Party recently passed its own plan to deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unfortunately, instead of coming up with a plan that…

The Israeli Left needs to step up its game
Herzog’s new diplomatic plan goes against the real interests of all those who live between the river and the sea — Jews and Arabs alike. Now it’s up to the Left to come up with a new vision based on real coexistence. The Labor Party committee decided last week that it was officially parting with…
