What more brutality could Israel inflict on Palestinians that it hasn’t done already!

By Orly Noy (translated by Sol Salbe) Like the last of the Kahanists, what Labor Party Leader Merav Michaeli saw fit to demand on Twitter after the attack in Neve Yaakov last night is a “tough response” against “this terror”. In the tweet that preceded it, by the way, about…

It’s hard for me to demonstrate next to people who say “This is not the time to raise the Occupation”

The day that those who fight for democracy realise that there is no resurrection for any democracy without democracy for all, we will be there. ■ Democracy for everyone, or for no one. — By Hanin Majadli • (Translated by Sol Salbe) Jews say to me: Who do you think this legal upheaval will hurt the most? Us? It’s Obvious that those who would hurt the most will be the minorities. And when they say “minorities” they don’t mean redheads, but Arabs. And I…

There is no such thing as being half pregnant, and the same applies to equality

It’s either a state of all its racists or a state of all its citizens. So, you choose. Because there is no other option — By Kobi Niv • (Translated by Sol Salbe) There’s one thing, that [Mizrahi commentator] Avishai Ben-Haim and Shas are absolutely right in their arguments against the Supreme Court — the fact that the absolute majority of Supreme Court judges have always been, and still are today, Ashkenazim is an injustice…

Who is this child threatening?

Israeli soldiers dragged a Palestinian child from his home; beating him up in front of his mother. When the father came out to defend his child, the soldiers shot him dead. Then the child was arrested later that night — By Netta Ahituv, Haaretz, Jan 14, 2023 (Translated from Hebrew by Ofer Neiman) To this day, the eyes of the parents and the children I met when I was writing an article about the cruel practice of arresting Palestinian children do not let go of me (“Haaretz”, 13.3.2019). Both when…

This is the time for a protest anthem, not for the Hatikva national anthem

The protesters who sang the Israeli national anthem at Tel Aviv’s Habima Square [on 14 January] are not downtrodden citizens, and it would be better if they stayed at home. Do you want a change? Look at what they did in Tahrir Square in 2011 — By Sheren Falah Saab • (Translated by Sol Salbe) Every successful protest needs an anthem that reflects the anger of the citizens who decided to take to the streets, the people who know what they are fighting for. In 2011, musician Ramy Essam took the stage at Cairo’s Tahrir Square…

‘We want to live without fear; we want our freedom’

Hana Al Bidaq visited Hastings in the UK to explain how the Israeli apartheid regime affects Palestinians on a daily basis — By Katy Weitz Hana Al Bidaq lives every day of her life in fear. Fear of the soldiers that constantly invade her community in Ramallah, disrupting their lives, making even the smallest of chores, like buying bread from the bakery, impossible. Fear of travelling from Ramallah to Hebron to see her family where she will have to cross many dangerous checkpoints…

Additional boycott measures against Israel are required, including academic boycott

By David Enoch • Haaretz, Dec 15, 2022 (Translated from Hebrew by Ofer Neiman) Discussions of various boycott measures that are being, or will be used against Israel — both in the academic field and more generally — are premised on assumptions that one should challenge. According to one such…

The cure offered by Eshkol Nevo is the disease itself

This wonderful Zionism of yours, which ruled here for decades, is what led us to this evil government. ■ Zionism is racism. It’s time for revocation of the definition of the State of Israel as a “Jewish state” — By Kobi Niv • (Translated by Sol Salbe) Every self-respecting newspaper keeps a novelist stored somewhere. Whether it is in the hills of Jerusalem or the [more upmarket] Ra’anana plains, there is a writer loftier than ordinary mortals who in times of crisis is called upon to warn of the…

A 16-year-old Palestinian girl was shot in the head, so what?

Killing innocent civilians in occupied territory is not “Israel’s internal affairs”. The US wants answers, the International Court of Justice is already investigating previous cases. The UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict is in Israel and she will check if there is any reason to include Israel in the list of countries that harm children during war, after Israel has already been warned.

Israel: Fascist gambit in a democratic setup

After all, whoever obliges the dictator to give a reasoned decision based on facts weakens their dictatorship, and challenges their authority. Because such a requirement implies that they owe an explanation to someone. Unfortunately, that subjects them to logic and reality. — By Rogel Alpher • (Translated by Sol Salbe) New Knesset member Almog Cohen is an accomplished interviewee. His behaviour in front of the camera is natural. He is fluent, popular and direct when he speaks. His tone is unequivocal. His sentences are short. And he transmits exactly the degree of…
