Netanyahu’s wall isn’t about immigration — it’s about race
Netanyahu’s recent boast that he has stopped all illegal immigration to Israel isn’t quite true: his southern border wall is only aimed at preventing black people from entering Israel irregularly.

Netanyahu’s xenophobia: Bad in America, bad in Israel
We know what he thinks of Arabs. Read what he thinks of Mexican-Americans.

The Russians came, the Russians stayed: A response to Uri Avnery
In a recent article, seasoned veteran of the Zionist Left Uri Avnery claimed that the influx of Russian-speaking immigrants to Israel, living in self-imposed ghettos, is what pushed the country to the right politically. Lia Tarachansky counters that the Russian-speaking community never ‘mingled’ with other Israelis because it was never invited to do so, and that…

WATCH: Attempts to redefine Jewish-Arab refugees
For several months now, the Israeli Foreign Ministry has been promoting an initiative calling for the recognition of Jews from Arab countries as refugees.

Racial profiling on Tel Aviv beaches: A shared U.S.-Israeli value?
Inspectors in Tel Aviv once responsible for keeping beaches clean can now stop people they suspect of illegally residing in Israel. Like Arizona’s notorious S.B.1070 law, this could result in gross violations of the rights of both Israeli citizens and immigrants.

The earth belongs to the famished
By Professor Minna Rozen Over the last 600 years, the Caucasian race has succeeded in prolonging its life expectancy and improving its quality of life.
