How the IDF is tarnishing the name of the medic it killed in Gaza
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit published a video it claims shows Razan al-Najjar throwing a tear gas canister into an open field and professing to be a ‘human shield’ — as if that justifies her killing.

When does propaganda go too far?
The Israeli army publishes a heavily edited video of a detained Palestinian man from Gaza being interrogated about Hamas tactics. The army won’t answer any questions about it. By Oren Ziv The Israeli army often claims that video clips published by B’Tselem and other human rights organizations in the occupied territories are mendaciously edited, and…

Stop calling us ‘Israeli Arabs’
The phrase ‘Israeli Arabs’ is meant to divide us from the rest of the Palestinian people. Thankfully, more and more young Palestinian citizens are no longer scared to openly confront their own Pharaoh and reclaim their story. “So explain it to me again,” Amanda repeated. “How can it be that while Israel celebrates its independence, or…

Propaganda wars: Searching for a narrative in Operation Protective Edge
No amount of Tweeting, tagging, posting or liking will save Gazans from an Israeli ground invasion. So why bother?

Jewish Week op-ed makes (bad) case for Israel’s boycott law
Lisa Levi tries to defend the undefendable boycott law at The Jewish Week. After making the old case that the Israeli boycott law is anything like the French or the American (simply false claim, as any form of the current boycott movement is perfectly legal in the United States.

Government Press Office doing PR for the settler movement
It seems that every state agency in Israel is becoming a tool in the effort to further colonize the West Bank and deepen the control over the lives of Palestinians.
