The viral Arabic media outlet hiding its ties to Israel

The legal fight to open Gaza to foreign press has failed. It’s time to change course

As Israel’s Supreme Court continues enabling the government’s foreign media ban, Palestinian journalists are paying the price. Further legal efforts are futile.

Jewish teens attack Palestinian in Jerusalem on Purim (Ch 10 screenshot)

Jewish teens attack Palestinians in two separate Purim incidents

Such attacks have become more common in recent years but media coverage has thinned. Two individual Arab-Palestinian men were assaulted by mobs of Jewish teens in Jerusalem last Thursday night. Both incidents involved victims who were set upon and beaten so severely that they had to be hospitalized. And in both cases the Israeli Hebrew…

Majda Bashir with three of her children, stand in the classroom where she stays with her family in the UNRWA al Mazra'a preparatory girls school, in the city of Deir al-Balah, eastern Gaza Strip, November 7, 2014. According to Majda, her family does not receive any food aid because the government was late to register the destruction of their home, preventing them to get on the list of beneficiaries. Several of her children suffer from malnutrition. Around 1,400 displaced Palestinians live in the school in very precarious conditions. Anne Paq/Activestills.org

WATCH: Soldiers taunt, set dogs on Palestinian teen

Israeli army decries video showing soldiers taunting and setting dogs on Palestinian, despite it being IDF policy.

Netanyahu is not Ben-Gurion, and 2015 is not 1948

The Israeli prime minister is not using his Congress speech to gain votes in this election, rather, he is using his election campaign to gain favor for the Congress speech and serve his megalomaniac vision of being the savior of Jews worldwide. Netanyahu’s recent campaign video, released Saturday night, has nothing to do with the…

‘She just wants chocolate! What is she, an Arab?’

Israeli social media is talking about one thing today: the video showing Israeli passengers cursing and threatening a flight attendant on their way to Varna, Bulgaria. The headlines are pretty much the same all over, and include the words: “Watch: The Ugly Israeli,” in reference to what Israelis see as the rude behavior they are…

Netanyahu campaign video: A victory for the Left means an ISIS invasion

In the latest Likud campaign video, released online Saturday, the message is that voters who cast their ballots for parties to the left of Netanyahu are throwing open Israel’s borders to an invasion by the so-called Islamic State, which in Israel and much of the Arabic-speaking world is called Da’esh. The video opens…

WATCH: The most anti-Semitic Israeli cartoon ever made?

[This post has been updated] The Samaria Settler Council — an organization representing Israeli settlements in northern West Bank — has just uploaded a pretty jaw-dropping piece of propaganda. It’s subtitled in English and really needs to be seen to be believed. But in case you don’t want to do it to yourselves, it shows a wealthy…

WATCH: Following killings, will Bedouin boycott the elections?

Following the recent killing of two Bedouin men in the southern city of Rahat at the hands of Israeli police — along with years of discrimination in nearly every realm, dispossession and home demolitions — the younger generation of Bedouin are more reluctant to vote in the upcoming elections. Jews and Bedouin met in the Negev town…
