• Rachel Corrie's family takes Israel to court
  Seven years after Rachel Corrie, a US peace activist, was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza, her family was to put the Israeli government in the dock today. A judge in the northern Israeli city of Haifa was due to be presented with evidence that 23- […]
• Truth in labeling: EU court challenges "Made in Israel"
  On 25 February, the European Court of Justice ruled that imports manufactured in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank shouldn't benefit from a trade agreement between Israel and the European Union. The ruling follows protests of Israel […]
• Interview: "Anything you want, we can bring to the Gaza Strip"

• Amir, ten years old, abducted by Israeli soldiers from his bed

Mondoweiss The War of Ideas in the Middle East

• Unending myth of two-state solution has helped to destroy two-state-solution
  Isn’t it time that the “two-state solution” be regarded as an object of the imagination no more real than the Tibetan kingdom of Shambala? At the heart of this Middle Eastern fable is another Shangri-La: Jerusalem, capital of the Jewish state and a Palestinian state. In reality, Jews in an unremitting march of expansion are taking over [... […]
• Neocon suggests that Palestinians are grabbing Jewish neighborhoods in E J?lem
  How quickly, David Makovsky moves into the "damage control" mode for Bibi at the New York Times site, saying he was blindsided by his interior minister. If Netanyahu didn’t know about it, which I doubt, the interior minister should be fired. BTW, it is not generally known that virtually all Israel cabinet ministers are appointed [...] Related […]
• what recession?
  JPost says IDF raised $20 million at the Waldorf the other night: There was scarce evidence of the global recession at a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for the IDF in New York City on Tuesday night. If the $5.2 million in tax exempt dollars raised on behalf of the Friends of the IDF in Beverly Hills last December 17 [...] Related posts:The Recession Will Be […]
• It?s time to rock, Joe Biden says? and breaks out the golden oldies
  Vice President Joe Biden just finished his whirlwind Israeli road show with a speech at Tel Aviv University. President Obama’s Number Two laid bare the Administration’s upcoming theme songs for the Mideast. Biden started off with a short prelude, emphasizing the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security and then singing a favorit […]
• Left right left
  Weiss saw Scott McConnell at the IDF demonstration in New York the other day–after McConnell had participated in a demonstration against Ahava Dead Sea products in Washington–and asked him why a conservative was spending so much time with left wingers, could McConnell write a few words about his progress? Perhaps one of those moments to [...] […]
• Why all American Jews should now work to close the Zionist chapter of our history
  When Shlomo Sand published a landmark book on the intolerant nationalism of Zionism earlier this year, and the urgency of Israel becoming a society of its citizens, the New York Times called him a crackpot. But Sand actually knows Israeli attitudes. As does Ynet, which characterizes a poll of Israeli high school students as [...] Related posts:How neocons […]
• ?Times? marches forward? and publicizes the ?Judaization? of East Jerusalem
  Yesterday I gave Andrew Sullivan a lot of credit for picking up the latest horrifying news from Sheikh Jarrah’s evictions– settlers singing songs for Baruch Goldstein, the mass murderer from Brooklyn. Well Sullivan was in turn picking up a New York Times post, by Robert Mackey, that duly chronicles the horrors of the segregation/eviction project […]
• Israeli press calls Netanyahu ?insane?; why can?t American press do the honors?
  The essence of the Israel lobby is that the U.S. has so much power over Israel’s fate that the special interest here must act at all times to preserve the U.S.’s good opinion–or else Israel goes down the tube. That’s the genuine view of foreign relations held inside the lobby. And it is why the [...] Related posts:Israeli Press Sham […]
• At Harvard, Kramer is merely controversial
  Several students writing to the Harvard Crimson on the Kramer matter, including Abdelnasser Rashid of the Palestinian solidarity group: Had Mr. Kramer’s comments been directed at any other marginalized or minority groups—leaving aside the enormous challenge faced by Palestinians living in the impoverished enclosure of Gaza—we believe that […]
