Israeli society continues to wrestle with the incompetence, imperial hubris, and lack of accountability that contributed to Israel’s humiliating failures on October 7.

In November, the Oxford Union held a debate on the topic of Israeli apartheid and genocide. It sparked a backlash from Zionists and even an investigation by British police. A speaker and audience member who attended tell us what really happened.

In October 1973, and again in October 2023, Israel suffered a breakdown in political and military command. It could not have imagined that the Arabs were capable or courageous enough to launch such a daring attack.

All these decades after Oslo, we should recognize that there is no solution without the full liberation of Palestine. Oslo has become the litmus test for how sincere one is about the liberation of Palestine.

Palestinians living within the Israeli state have always been second class citizens, and under the current right-wing government, hundreds of millions of shekels in public funding are being cut from these communities.

Slated to appear before Congress on Wednesday, Isaac Herzog might look like Israel’s moderate face, but he is no different than Benjamin Netanyahu when it comes to supporting Israeli apartheid.

As the son of a general who participated in the Nakba in 1948 and the Naksa in 1967, Miko Peled thought he knew Israeli history. But when he finally met Palestinians and heard their stories of Zionist atrocities he was shocked to learn the truth.

In July 2004, federal agents raided the homes of five Palestinian-American families, arresting the fathers, who had been leaders of a Texas-based charity called the Holy Land Foundation (HLF). Until 9/11, the HLF was the largest Muslim charity in the United States, but their trials resulted in very lengthy sentences for the men—for “supporting terrorism” by donating to charities in Palestine that the U.S. government itself had long worked with. The men remain in prison. Miko Peled’s new book “Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five” tells the story of the landmark case and the families it impacted. In this excerpt he tells the story of Shukri Abu-Baker.

Miko Peled says that you cannot believe in free speech and then say that it is criminal to deny the Holocaust. And he says that racists should be denied platforms on the left– and that includes Zionists.

Invoking Yasser Arafat and his own niece Smadar Elhanan, killed by a suicide bomber, Miko Peled calls on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to release Issa Amro, who has almost singlehandedly defended an occupied Palestinian neighborhood of Hebron from Jewish colonists.
