Elections reveal a seismic split within Israel’s right
Once the ascendant elite, the settler movement’s political power is on the decline.

The Israeli right stopped talking about occupation, and that will hurt it at the polls
Netanyahu has joined forces with religious radicals who have stopped talking about Palestinians and are instead pushing a homophobic and sexist agenda. It may just might seal his political doom.

Once there’s no Palestinian suspect, the media loses interest
The media played a key role in turning a Palestinian man into the top suspect in a recent child rape case. But ever since charges against him were dropped, the press seems to have lost interest in the case.

The right wing in Israel is in a deep crisis
Snap elections just weeks after Israelis went the polls are the result of a rivalry between Liberman and Netanyahu, but that’s just part of the story.

Why are Israeli liberals suddenly courting a far-right nationalist?
Liberman’s political maneuvering may just bring about King Bibi’s downfall, but that doesn’t mean secular liberals should forget the reasons they opposed him all these years. Avigdor Liberman has, over the past decade, exerted a greater impact on Israel’s political discourse than any other lawmaker. In just a few years, he made once unthinkable ideas — such as…

This is what it looks like to be hit by Israel’s ‘Skunk’
The ‘Skunk,’ a foul-smelling liquid most often used to suppress Palestinian demonstrations, is now finding a new target: ultra-Orthodox Jews.
