Wild Card – last chapter: Bibi and Obama pave the way for one-state solution
SAVE THE DATE: September 23, 2011. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will give his “truth” speech at the UN General Assembly. The “truth” will actually be the annihilation of a two-state solution, and thus with it, the end of Zionism In October 2010 I started writing the “Wild card” campaign. To make a long story short,…

Jordanian king: “We have fought Israel more than once, we’re calm”
King Abdullah II of Jordan used some harsh words against Israel yesterday: “Jordan and Palestine’s future (prospects) are stronger than Israel today and that it is the Israeli who is afraid now. When I was in the United States, an Israeli intellectual talked to me and said that what is going on in the Arab…

Test yourself: do you support the occupation?
Noam ended his post from yesterday with an interesting sentence: “Without America’s support for it, there would have been no occupation.” It has occurred to me that the US probably does not perceive itself as a supporter of the occupation. So, for the benefit of up-and-coming politicians and diplomats, I have prepared a short test…

It’s official: Bibi’s plan is to wait for the problem to go away
Yesterday we learned of Netanyahu’s plan for the conflict: Do nothing. Oh, and get 30 countries to counter the Palestinian unilateral declaration of independence at the UN Yesterday Haaretz came out with its annual Writers’ Edition, where famous authors replace the paper’s reporters for a day and try their hand at journalism. When they first…

Two pseudo-states is not a solution for flailing Israeli democracy
By Hagai El-Ad The two-state solution? Instead of an end to the occupation, September might bring us not just more of the same, but worse: an occupied pseudo-State of Palestine, alongside a deteriorating pseudo-democracy in Israel The expected UN General Assembly decision on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state was perhaps supposed to usher…

U.S. headed for major embarrassment come September
4 comments on the D.C. Debating Championship and what lies ahead 1. What a talent Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in Congress should be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. It’s obviously the longest time any human being has taken (45 minutes) to say only one word: “NO”. And if they don’t accept him, then…

Which way – Palestinian statehood, or “returning the keys?”
My esteemed +972 colleague Roi Maor recently posted an article that, if I may say bluntly, took out a lot of the hot air I’ve been blowing over the past few months into the Palestinian UDI (unilateral declaration of independence). Maor claims that UDI will not be as much of a game changer that I’m…

Preeminent Israelis to support Palestinian state, 1967 borders
Tomorrow, a group of preeminent Israelis will endorse Palestinian statehood along the 1967 borders, and call on compatriots to join them. Will a Palestinian “state” be a game changer? And, if so, will it mark a change for the better? A couple of weeks ago, Ami asked why the Israeli left isn’t debating the prospect…

Gaza and the Negev: Setting the stage for the theater of war
This is a post about how Israel prepares for war. I don’t know if we are going to war. But the awful attack on a school bus by an anti-tank missile fired from Gaza on Thursday, seemed tailor-made to push Israel over the edge. Following weeks of escalation between the IDF and Hamas, the airwaves…

Palestinian statehood 2011: Biggest event the left isn’t debating
The upcoming vote on Palestinian statehood, that will most probably take place this September at the UN General Assembly, has a lot of people talking – and a certain government panicking. Rightfully so – it’s the region’s biggest event of 2011. So why is the left in Israel and abroad keeping mum? The fact that…

Wild Card – Part XI: Southern Sudan as a precedent for Palestine
U.S. President Barack Obama announces intent to formally recognize Southern Sudan in July The White House just released the following statement about recognizing Southern Sudan. The wording of this statement is very similar to what I imagine the future statement about recognizing Palestine this summer would look like (with some minor changes, of course) if…

UN condemnation of settlements – an opportunity?
The UN Security Council resolution that was introduced this week condemning Israeli settlement expansion is sure to provide more grist for Israel’s ‘de-legitimization’ mill. Increasingly paranoid commentators will lump the resolution together with all critique they don’t like as undermining the Israel’s right to exist. If so, they will implicitly contribute to an absurd notion…
