One week later: Where is the evidence of an ‘arson intifada?’
The police has yet to declare a single wildfire an act of terrorism, the commissioner says arson is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and many cases of suspected terrorism turned out to be nothing more than negligence. This, of course, does not bother Israel’s leaders or media. Now that the rain has started pouring, bringing an end to…

How Israel’s media turned a British NGO into terrorists
Israel’s two biggest newspapers didn’t hesitate to copy-paste a press release from the Foreign Ministry, turning a small London organization into ‘Hamas in Europe.’ By Yoni Mendel I often hear Israeli friends and co-workers belittle the Arab-speaking media in Israel.

How the anti-Netanyahu daily actually brought him to power
Enhance a fear of Iran. Promote a privatization policy. Encourage the view that Israel has no peace partner. If you do all that, don’t expect the voters to reject the person who represents this very worldview.
