A Chance for a New US Congress to Rethink Knee-Jerk Support for Israel

If ever there was a chance to approach members of the U.S. Congress with challenging issues, and a re-examination of oppressive Israeli behavior, this is it. These first few weeks of the new Congress are the time to take advantage of the new energy — otherwise, it will fade away.

Amos Oz Remembered: The Sharp Talons of a Zionist “Dove”

It is wrong to speak ill of the dead. Amos Oz, however, was not a private man, not just an individual but an icon. He thrived and benefited greatly from his image as a Zionist, a patriot, and with that, a peace-loving man, a true “dove.” Oz was the icon of the culture of the colonizer.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL -- The Israeli writer Amos Oz died on December 27, 2018, ten years to the day after the Israeli army began carpet bombing Gaza, murdering countless innocents.

How Israel’s Conscription Law Assaults its Own Ultra-Orthodox Community

Mea Sha’arim, Jerusalem - “Nazis, Nazis,” that’s what I thought I heard. I was driving down the main road near Jerusalem's Ultra-orthodox Me’a Sha’arim neighborhood where hundreds of young Haredi Jews were blocking the road.

Arguing with Zionists in Public: The Necessity of a Debate that Offends and Appalls

The old bag of tricks that was brought to the debate by agents of the Zionist propaganda machine, when set against the arguments for justice, freedom and equality will fail every time. Repeating this failure may well be how we delegitimize Israel and the ideology behind it, Zionism.

From the River to the Sea: The Inevitable End of Settler Colonialism in Palestine

The assumption that a free Palestine calls for the expulsion or killing of Jews is one that is made mostly by those who can see Palestine only as a place where one side rules over and kills the other, but never where all people live in peace.

From the River to the Sea: The Inevitable End of Settler Colonialism in Palestine

JERUSALEM, PALESTINE -- The call “From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be Free” brings out the worst in the Zionist spokespersons. From CNN and Fox News to the various Zionist trolls and spokespersons around the world: “Aha!” they say, “The true face of these anti-Semites has been exposed.” Panic seems to strike as they assert that this is “a

JERUSALEM, PALESTINE -- Sitting with a few friends in the cafeteria of the Knesset, the Israeli house of representatives, one could sense that elections were in the air, or at least a vote of no confidence that would lead to elections.

The Palestinian People Are As Unified as Hamas and Fatah are Obsolete

There is a solid, grassroots leadership in Palestine. From Al-Jalil in the north to the Naqab in the south, and from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, Palestinians on the ground are well aware that the Hamas-Fatah politics have little to do with them.

The Palestinian People Are As Unified as Hamas and Fatah are Obsolete
