Israel/ Palestine
Stop telling Palestinians to be ‘resilient’ – the rest of the world has failed them
(The Conversation) Viewed from Palestine, it’s hard to disagree that we’ve perhaps seen one of the most inflammatory weeks in recent memory. In just a few days, several extremely sensitive events have coincided to devastating effect: the culmination of weekly protests in the Gaza Strip, the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to […]
Can Palestinians be Killed? Can Israelis Kill them? Or do they only “Die”?
Social media is being scathing about the diction chosen by the New York Times, CNN and even the Guardian to speak of the some 55 peacefully protesting Palestinians whom Israeli snipers cold-bloodedly shot dead on Monday and the some 2700 whom they wounded, half of those with live fire. The headlines or lead paragraphs spoke […]

The latest death toll was reported by the ministry at 9:30 p.m. The ministry added that 2,771 people were […]

At 70, as Apartheid Sets in, Israel faces a new Threat: Itself
By Jonah Mandel | – – Jerusalem (AFP) – Israel has built a high-tech economy, forged the region’s strongest military and fended off enemies surrounding it in the 70 years since its creation, but many think it faces a new threat: itself. The 70th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel on May […]
As Israel turns 70, many young American Jews turn away, a la Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman, the Oscar-winning actress, recently kicked off a massive storm of controversy when she pulled out of a prestigious award ceremony in Israel because, she said, she “did not want to appear as endorsing Benjamin Netanyahu.” The response to Portman’s refusal to appear alongside Israel’s prime minister was intense. She was denounced by right-wing […]
Israeli Forces injure 40 Palestinians on 6th Friday of Gaza protests
GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — At least 40 Palestinians were injured on Friday during ongoing massive demonstrations along the “buffer zone” between Israel and the besieged Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza. Friday marked the sixth week of the “Great March of Return” protests in Gaza, as thousands of Palestinians have […]
PEN Int’l ‘strongly condemns’ Israel court’s jailing of Palestinian for Writing Poetry
PEN International has slammed the conviction of Palestinian poet Dareen Tatour, who was prosecuted by Israeli authorities for three social media posts, including a poem. In a statement issued yesterday, PEN – a global association of writers with a focus on freedom of expression – said it “strongly condemns the decision of the Nazareth Magistrate’s […]
