From Argentina to Rwanda, Israel has a sordid history of providing weapons and support to murderous dictatorships. By Eitay Mack (translated by Ofer Neiman) The Netanyahu government was silent in January when the Trump Administration omitted any reference to Jewish victims from…

Israelis must speak up about the injustices here, and the world must listen
The world is not against us — rather, it is at best indifferent to the oppression of Palestinians, and at worst colludes in it, which is why Israelis must inform decent people about what is happening here. I was invited to attend a series of meetings organized by French activists that were held this week. The…

Israel’s rabbinate reflects country’s racist streak
The people of Israel have received what they deserve: a rabbinate that is a true reflection of the current racist streak enlarging itself across the entire spectrum of Israeli society, from the streets of south Tel Aviv to the chambers of the Knesset.

It is a generally assumed that the Shah’s downfall led to the severing of ties between Israel and Iran, which up until that point resembled a love story.

Holocaust Remembrance Day didn’t used to be like this
The Holocaust lends itself perfectly to Israel’s two reigning ‘isms’ – nationalism and emotionalism. Aren’t historic events supposed to diminish in their impact over time?
