From Palestine to South Carolina, justice is scarce for victims of police violence
The trials of two police officers in Israel-Palestine and the U.S. collapsed within hours of each other on Monday. Both cases prove how difficult it is to secure justice for Palestinian and African-American victims of state violence. On May 15, 2014, three Palestinian teenagers were shot by Israeli security forces with live ammunition as they attended…

The difference between a ‘near lynch’ and the killing of two Palestinians
For the general public, it seems that the feelings of an Israeli reporter are more important than the death of Palestinian youths. By Lilach Ben David (translated by Sol Salbe) By now it has become a cliché of journalistic writing in Hebrew. “I felt like I was being lynched in Ramallah,” is the way every…

Liberman rejects probe of killings as IDF probes killings
Israel’s foreign minister would be well served by a beginner’s course in using Google to search the Internet before accusing the international community of hypocrisy.

Beitunia killings and the media’s incredibly high bar for Palestinian stories
Faced with the most striking evidence, the Israeli media continues to treat the Palestinian version of the killings as a fabrication, demanding more and more evidence of wrongdoing; that is how the public is taught, day by day, that the reality of occupation isn’t worthy of its attention. Ever since I left working on the…
