10 years after Arafat: Where did the Palestinian leadership go?
In both Gaza and Ramallah the Palestinian leadership hasn’t gotten involved in the latest wave of violence. They’re not condemning it, they’re not supporting it, and they’re certainly not offering Palestinians any vision. But Israelis shouldn’t take comfort. One of the hottest topics in the media recently is the question of whether we can call…

There’s nothing static about the West Bank ‘status quo’
Israel is already carrying out Bennett’s annexation plan, only without the formal annexation part. The West Bank is a very different place than it was 10 years ago. It will be even more different five or 10 years from now. The indispensable Amira Hass reported this morning about an Israeli plan to push thousands of Palestinian-Bedouin into…

The world is letting Israel get away with it again
The assault on Gaza has hurt this country’s image, and it doesn’t care. There’s no doubt that this past month of heavily televised overkill in Gaza – well, heavily televised everywhere but here – has hurt Israel’s standing in the world. The IDF has killed too many civilians, wiped out too many families, bombed too…

Public reading of soldier testimonies to be held in Tel Aviv on anniversary of occupation
Avner Gvaryahu, spokesperson for the anti-occupation group Breaking the Silence: ‘We want as many public figures as possible to assume responsibility, in broad daylight, for the kind of stories every soldier knows to tell.’ Breaking the Silence, an organization made up of ex-IDF soldiers that seeks to expose the reality of the occupation, is organizing a…

WATCH: Israeli puppeteer creates video calling for end to ‘Israel’s war on puppets’
After the Israeli government cancelled an annual theater festival for Palestinian children, Ariel Doron pulled out his puppet collection in protest. Sometimes protest comes in the form of puppets.

Israeli occupation: You have to see it to believe it
Most Jewish Israelis will admit the ‘occupation’ is bad, but few have ever gotten a taste of what it feels like to be anywhere near the receiving end of it. No matter how liberal an Israeli you are, if you have not experienced it in some way, first hand, the concept of Israeli occupation has an entirely…

WATCH: Israeli journalist discusses her article defending Palestinian stone-throwing
Amira Hass, who drew heavy criticism from Israeli media about her op-ed in Haaretz last week defending the right of Palestinians to throw stones, and was accused of incitement to violence by the Yesha Council (of West Bank settlements), appeared on Democracy Now this week to discuss her article. I have embedded the interview below, which is in…

John Locke on nations’ right to resist occupation
The fallout from Amira Hass’ Haaretz article in which she stated that “throwing stones is the birthright and duty of anyone subject to foreign rule” continues. There are many responses in the Hebrew media and blogesphere, and some interesting debates, mostly on Facebook. As some readers noted in the comments to my previous posts, there…

Settlers accuse ‘Haaretz’ of calling for violence against them
Fallout from Amira Hass’s article on Palestinian stone-throwing shows that as far as Israelis are concerned, any and every form of resistance against the occupation is illegitimate. The Yesha Council – the regional council for West Bank settlements, which operates also as the settlers’ political and lobbying arm – filed a complaint with the Jerusalem Police…
