Living in the constant shadow of settler violence
A recent surge in hate crimes against Palestinians in the West Bank has drawn the attention of both local and international media.

Netanyahu at the UN: Frozen bodies, blatant lies, and imaginary children
Netanyahu didn’t need the Mufti or a bomb diagram at this year’s UN General Assembly. Just a few kind words about a Palestinian victim of Jewish terror, branding Israel as an economic powerhouse, and kissing up to the Americans. 1. Stealing the president’s lines “Ahmed was the victim of a horrible terrorist act perpetrated by Jews……

It’s open season on anyone opposing the occupation
There is a campaign being carried out against anyone actively opposing the occupation in Israel, and it doesn’t matter if you’re an activist in the field, a human rights attorney or a former soldier talking about what you were ordered to do. “Activists from the shady organization, “Ta’ayush,” who we tracked from within and outside,…

Time to break the silence: An open letter to American Jews
The American Jewish establishment, from the Federations to synagogues, must take a look in the mirror and decide whether this is the Israel it identifies with. If it isn’t, it should speak up. Urgently. Dear American Jewish community, I should start off with a full disclosure: I am only tangentially a part of you. I have…

When every fire is a potential arson attack
As incitement against the Israeli Left grows, it is no surprise so many people believed right-wing arsonists were behind the fire at the offices of Israel’s oldest human rights organization. Preliminary investigations by Israeli Police and Israel Fire and Rescue Services indicated that the fire that erupted Sunday night in the Jerusalem offices of Israeli…

Good riddance, 2015
2015 was a year full of murder, stabbings, homophobia, and gender-based violence. I can’t wait for it to be over. Damn you, 2015. Your place is in the dustbin of history. Leave us alone. You fraud. You began to shower us with specks of hope when the last elections were announced. We thought perhaps that…

Palestinian journalist on hunger strike to protest admin detention
It took Israeli authorities weeks to even tell Muhammad Al-Qiq why he is being imprisoned without charge or trial — ‘incitement.’ He has been on hunger strike for 32 days.

Israel isn’t denying that it uses torture, it’s justifying it
Responding to a right-wing campaign accusing it of torturing ‘Jewish terrorism’ suspects, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency basically admits doing so, and insists it is acting within the law. Last week’s episode of “This American Life” was called The Poetry of Propaganda. The Chicago-based radio program discussed how official government messaging often contains different meanings for different…

Settlers protest alleged torture of Jewish teens in Tel Aviv
Israel’s security service, the Shin Bet, has been using torture against suspects in the arson-murder of an entire Palestinian family, their attorneys and friends allege. Approximately 15 far-right settlers gathered in front of Israel’s national theater in central Tel Aviv Wednesday afternoon to stage a theatrical protest against Israeli authorities’ alleged use of terror against…

Maybe there’s just no room for human rights in Israel
Those trying to delegitimize rights groups because their funds come from overseas are sending a very clear message: human and civil rights are not values that exist naturally in Israel.
