Last week, Isaac Herzog, the outgoing Labor leader and newly elected head of the Jewish…
Jonathan Ofir interviews Eitan Bronstein Aparicio, co-author of the book ‘Nakba in Hebrew’, about how the Israeli government tried, and failed, to ban an event discussing the book.
Activist Ariel Gold is deported from Israel because of support for BDS, as a Jew. Minister of Interior Aryeh Deri said: “I am again using my authority to prevent the entry into Israel of a woman who came to act against Israel and call for its boycott. This is a Jew who tried to abuse this fact. Those boycott activists must understand that the rules of the game have changed.”
There’s noting more disturbing than celebrating the burning alive of a baby. This is precisely what Israeli Jewish settlers were doing yesterday, taunting a survivor of the Dawabshe family arson attack in 2015. “Ali is on the grill!” they shouted, in reference to the 18-month Palestinian baby killed in the attack.

The gesture is a form of hasbara, aimed at denying the cause of the fire kites: Palestinian expulsion and the recent massacres by Israel in the Gaza strip.
Israeli Likud lamaker Miki Zohar uses unabashed racist-supremacist talk about Jews in interview, the “Jewish race is the greatest human capital, the smartest, the most understanding… sometimes the most educated.” And there’s no controversy in Israel.

This logic has been uttered by a prominent Israeli journalist: Mass shootings of Palestinians have…
The Israeli army once again amazes: Razan al-Najjar the medic who was killed last Friday, was just a cynical “Hamas human shield.” This is a day after the army said it had killed the medic by accident. And it twists al-Najjar’s own words to attempt the pathetic defense.
An Israeli army begins a probe of the killing of Palestinian medic Razan al-Najjar and already rules that it was just an accident. “A small number of bullets were fired.” No shots “were deliberately or directly aimed towards her.” Believe that?
