Israel’s Netanyahu campaigned on Destroying every Palestinian Dream: Now for the Implementation
By Motasem A Dalloul | @AbujomaaGaza | – After securing 36 seats in the Knesset, and with other right-wing parties winning at least 30, it is obvious that the leader of Israel’s Likud party, Benjamin Netanyahu, is going to form the next — his fifth — government. Although he is not as pragmatic a leader […]
Trump Admin. blocks Entry to US of Palestinian leader of Israel Boycott
BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — The United States administration denied entry to Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian human rights defender and a co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement, this week allegedly due to his political activities. The Arab American Institute (AII) said that Barghouti was barred from boarding a flight, on Wednesday, from Israel’s Ben […]
Netanyahu’s Reelection Further Dooms Millions of Palestinians to Decades of Statelessness, Denial of Basic Rights
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The breathless headlines that the reelection in Israel of far right prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu of the fascist Likud Party has doomed the two state solution are wrong. The two state solution was doomed by the late 1990s, as Israel doubled its squatters in the Palestinian West Bank after the […]
Israel: Likud PR company with Squatter Links boasts Secret Cameras Suppressed Arab-Israeli Turnout
An Israeli public relations firm has admitted that it was behind the Likud campaign to place secret cameras in Arab-Israeli polling stations during Tuesday’s election, boasting that the move caused low turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel. The Kaizler Inbar PR company said yesterday on its Facebook page that it had orchestrated the stunt, explaining: […]
IRGC’s ‘Terrorist’ Designation Raises U.S. Stakes Over Iran
(RFE/RL) – The U.S. designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) marks the first time Washington has officially used that label on a foreign state institution. “It underscores the fact that Iran’s actions are fundamentally different from those of other governments,” U.S. President Donald Trump said in an […]
Airbnb pivots, will List Israeli Squatter Settlements on Palestinian Land in West Bank
BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Home-renting company, Airbnb, confirmed it would not implement a planned delisting of Israeli settlements, which are considered illegal under international law, in the occupied West Bank and would “donate proceeds from any of these bookings to international humanitarian aid organizations,” on Tuesday. In November 2018, the company decided to remove about 200 […]
Netanyahu won in Israel because his Rivals campaigned as Netanyahu Lite
Guy Ziv | – The close results of the April 9 Israeli elections, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the apparent winner, represent a missed opportunity for his centrist rivals. As a foreign policy scholar who researches Israeli politics, I believe that perhaps the greatest irony of the election was the failure of Netanyahu’s challengers, […]
