For J Street, holding Israel accountable is still a step too far
J Street’s 2019 conference heralded a new willingness to tie military aid to Israel to its human rights record.

Israel’s wars in Gaza propel child labor for Palestinian kids

By Cody O’Rourke When an Israeli airstrike destroyed 12-year-old Rezek’s house west of Gaza City in 2012, his family lost everything, forever altering his life.

UN details violence against Palestinian kids, leaves Israel off ‘blacklist’
The number of Palestinian children killed in 2014 was the third-highest of all situations the UN monitored — after Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel and Hamas are left off a list of rights-violating states and groups, allegedly as a result of political pressure.

In Gaza, justice delayed is justice denied
Israeli army investigators have not even contacted the teenage victim of one of the few alleged war crimes it says it is probing. More than two months after Israel’s assault on Gaza began, victims of the air, land, and sea invasion continue to have no recourse against their occupiers.

By Fady Khoury On the back of the 47th anniversary of the Israeli occupation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), one aspect that is…

Israeli exceptionalism at the United Nations
Israeli officials mistakenly dismiss criticism as the product of an ‘anti-Israel bias.’ But when a state agrees to uphold certain universal human rights and then fails to do so in practice, it would be unfair for the international community to not criticize that state. By Brad Parker Last month, Israel ended a 20-month boycott of…
