Almog Cohen, a member of Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party, threatened to “blow up” an Israeli youth center because of plans to host a joint Palestinian-Israeli summer camp.

Hatim Kanaaneh demonstrated against the movie “Exodus.” And he’s not feeling great about Spielberg’s plans for “Apeirogon,” Colum McCann’s novel in which Israeli characters are more fleshed out than Palestinian ones.

Irish novelist Colum McCann says that he was “cracked wide open” when he met West Bank Palestinian Bassam Aramin and his Israeli Jewish colleague Rami Elhanan one evening in Bethlehem. But his novel “Apeirogon” that elevates the two runs the risk of normalizing the occupation by treating reconciliation as the answer to political oppression.
