Netanyahu’s political calculations in attacking Gaza are no secret in Israel. So why do they hardly get mentioned in the American mainstream media?

David Kattenburg reports on the testimony of Yakov Berg, the CEO of Psagot Winery in the occupied West Bank, in a case pending before Canada’s Federal Court regarding the labeling of products made in the occupied territories. Berg says labeling his wine as anything other than a ‘Product of Israel’ would be discriminatory and antisemitic.

As Israel continues to launch dozens of missile strikes into Gaza, so far having killed at least 20 Palestinians, including children, and injuring 70 more, former vice president and current Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden took to Twitter to declare that he supports the country’s actions.

The French insurance giant AXA is the second-largest provider in the world, with operations based in more than 60 countries that total over 100 million clients, including banks that finance Israeli settlement infrastructure projects.

Tensions are high in Gaza after Israel’s targeted assassination of an Islamic Jihad leader. More than 20 Palestinians have been killed so far in Israeli attacks, and 70 more injured.

In the wake of the Israeli assassination in Gaza and the counter-attack by Islamic Jihad, a “convoy” of Netanyahu’s political allies in the Likud party have issued statements that Benny Gantz is not trustworthy because he will depend on the Joint List of Palestinian parties in order to become prime minister, says Moty Cristal, a former Israeli negotiator.

Majed Abusalama is experiencing the trauma of Israel’s latest attack on Gaza, even if he doesn’t live there any longer. “All Palestinians endure ongoing trauma, stress, and fear even if we are exiled outside of colonized Palestine,” Majed Abusalama writes, “We all carry this package of pain and trauma.”

The Netanyahu government is working hard to shut down human rights groups who are the only chance of holding it accountable for the appalling abuses committed by Israeli soldiers.

In Israel, the military is by far the most trusted institution. And though it terrorizes Palestinians daily, the fealty it gets from Jewish Israeli society serves as a shield against taking it to account.

Two years ago, there would have been no problems whatsoever in Rabbi Elimelech Firer’s medical benefit at the Bronfman Center, the Palace of Culture in Tel Aviv. But this time, it was hard to notice there were no female singers, who apparently represent a danger to orthodox men. The gala has been called off after unprecedented protest.
