Why Israel won’t sign any ceasefire that’s fair
A fair ceasefire would bring major relief for Gaza, which would mean Hamas wins the war. The ceasefire that the world is now pushing for – one that, as UN chief Ban Ki-Moon put it, not only ends the fighting but also ends Israel’s “chokehold on Gaza” – is one that the Netanyahu government will…

Why there is no room for diplomacy in Gaza
With or without a ceasefire, the brutality of the last week will be revisited upon the Palestinians of Gaza – a fact that, unsurprisingly, leaves no room for diplomacy. It should come as no surprise that Hamas Tuesday de facto rejected what by all accounts was an Israeli diktat – disguised as an Egyptian ceasefire proposal –…

First do no harm, J Street
With nothing left to offer except hollow pep talks about the peace process, the liberal lobby is fighting BDS – together with the pro-Netanyahu, pro-occupation American Zionist right. Next stop: the Presbyterian Church USA’s General Assembly. What is J Street doing? Why is it acting in concert with right-wing Zionist organizations like AIPAC and StandWithUs…

After Kerry, only BDS may save the two-state solution
Not even Ben-Gurion would be able to rally the political support necessary to displace masses of settlers as long as there is no price to be paid for the occupation. So how much longer can liberal Zionists sit and watch the status quo remain static? If instead of trying to persuade Israel to change, two-state…

Left Jabs: Getting ready for Independence Day, and more
Short, polarizing comments about the news. ————- Celebrate Israel Former heads of Shin Bet and Mossad say Israel could, without question, stop the runaway settler attacks on Palestinians if it wanted to, it just doesn’t want to. On Tuesday, why shouldn’t we celebrate Israeli Independence Day? This is a great country if you’re Jewish.…

The downfall of Avigdor Liberman
Without a distinct ideology or the support of Israel’s ultra-right, the days of Liberman dominating political headlines may soon be over. By Aaron Magid On the night of the 2009 election as Avidgor Liberman’s party jumped to unprecedented power with 15 seats, the popular Israeli satirical show “Eretz Nehederet” depicted Liberman ominously. Both Benjamin Netanyahu and Tzipi…

Who can say if it’s ‘apartheid’ or not?
Why does most coverage discussing Israel and the ‘A-word’ exclude the voices of black South Africans? Text and photo by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler/Activestills.org Noticeably absent from most coverage of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s use of the term “apartheid” are the voices most qualified to make the comparison. The Daily Beast article that broke…

State Department stumbles: If not apartheid, then what?
Asked what word Secretary Kerry would have used in place of ‘apartheid,’ his use of which stirred up a small storm in the U.S. this week, the State Department is hard pressed to give an answer.

Kerry apologizes for speculating that theoretically, in the distant future, Israel could do something bad
It took Secretary of State John Kerry exactly 24 hours after his “apartheid” comments were revealed by The Daily Beast to issue a comprehensive apology for the remarks.
