New Likud MK Avichai Buaron published an editorial in 2010 that supported extermination camps for “Amalekites,” a thinly-veiled euphemism for Palestinians.

Early Zionism sought to reform the “Ghetto Jew” into the secular Zionist militant. But now the new Israeli government not only wants to push society to the right, but to dismantle its secularism as well.

After doing all he can to avoid confronting Netanyahu, Joe Biden called on him to halt judicial overhaul and said he’s not invited to Washington. Biden knows major Jewish groups have his back.

Benjamin Netanyahu placates Itamar Ben-Gvir after postponing judicial overhaul by promising him the establishment of a “National Guard,” as settler violence continues spreading throughout the West Bank.

Five years ago today, Palestinians in Gaza launched the Great March of Return. Israel brutally suppressed the demonstrations, leaving many of its participants amputated. But those who joined the March would do it all over again.

The pro-Israel group StandWithUs accused GWU professor Lara Sheehi of antisemitism. A third-party investigation found the accusations were “inaccurate or taken out of context and misrepresented.”

Benjamin Netanyahu temporarily halted reforms he sought to make to Israel’s judicial system, but critics say Palestinians will pay the ultimate price as the far-right continues to consolidate power.

Eِِِxcluding Palestinian voices and firing journalists who want to speak out about Israeli apartheid makes the mainstream media complicit in Israel’s “system of silencing.” 

Netanyahu once said that America is “a thing that you can move, very easily.” But maybe those days are over? The media are finally paying attention.

Over the years, I have found that for myself and for many other journalists in Palestine, leaving Palestine, even for short periods of time, can bring on feelings of anxiety, guilt, and shame.
