Freedom, justice, and equality for Palestinians is the only path forward. The events of the past week have not weakened my belief in this at all.
Yonatan Shapira reflects on the Israeli drift to Judeo-Nazism, as well as a “60 Minutes” interview with an Israeli soldier who says in order to bomb houses with children in them, she has to be confident of the moral values of her commander.
Both sides of the Israeli judicial overhaul debate claim to be upholding the mantle of “democracy.” But because they are also defending the idea of the “Jewish state,” both are simply enforcing apartheid.
Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo has joined the chorus of Israeli officials who have admitted, to varying degrees, that Israel is practicing apartheid.
The Jerusalem District Court acquitted Eyad Hallaq’s killer, and Hallaq’s family is now petitioning the Israeli Supreme Court in light of the State Attorney’s refusal to do so. But the Court has consistently justified the killing of Palestinians.
We should be thankful for the honesty of fascist MKs Itamar Ben-Gvir and Amichai Eliyahu. Their recent statements that the rights of Jews trump the rights of Palestinians are exposing the apartheid reality.
Retired Israeli general Amiram Levin and South African journalist Benjamin Pogrund are the latest to call out Israeli apartheid. Now the question becomes, what are they willing to do about it?
