Farewell to Ezra Nawi, a Mizrahi Jew who refused to live by Zionism’s rules
Nawi gave his body, mind, and possessions to the most vulnerable Palestinians. This made him a threat to the Israeli regime — and its easiest prey.

The persecution of Ezra Nawi
The fabrication of criminal cases against activists, particularly anti-occupation activists, has become an almost routine tool. Every one of us could find themselves the target of a similar right-wing campaign. Two years ago, Israeli officials, right-wing activists, and the media put veteran left-wing activist Ezra Nawi in their crosshairs. After an investigative television show partnered…

The Israeli media is branding Breaking the Silence as traitors
The campaign against the Israeli Left continues: why did Channel 2 air a segment that paints Breaking the Silence as a traitorous organization that peddles in state secrets? Israel’s Channel 2 news broadcasted a segment Thursday evening based on material given to them by the hidden-camera-toting undercover moles of right-wing group Ad Kan. The target…

Israeli settlements have created a ‘state within a state’
Not only physical settler violence goes largely unpunished — the structural violence of those driving the settlement enterprise, in the form of open land theft and everything it entails, also goes largely unaddressed. What keeps the long arm of the law at bay? A primetime investigative news program revealed to all of Israel last week widespread…

Don’t be fooled: Bibi and Im Tirzu are one and the same
The latest campaign of incitement in Israel is so extreme even the Right has condemned it. The irony? Its message is entirely in line with that of the government. A single day after right-wing Culture Minister Miri Regev proposed cutting funding to artists and cultural institutions that are “not loyal” to the State of Israel,…

When do Israelis care about dead Palestinians?
It seems that Israelis only pay attention to Palestinian lives when a left-wing activist is accused of sending Palestinians to their death. For the past two weeks, the country has been in an uproar around the fate of one Palestinian, Abu Khalil, whose death has been pinned on Ezra Nawi, an Israeli left-wing activist. Nawi…

It’s open season on anyone opposing the occupation
There is a campaign being carried out against anyone actively opposing the occupation in Israel, and it doesn’t matter if you’re an activist in the field, a human rights attorney or a former soldier talking about what you were ordered to do. “Activists from the shady organization, “Ta’ayush,” who we tracked from within and outside,…

When criticism of occupation becomes ‘subversion’
The political arrests of anti-occupation activists is just the latest step in the Right’s war against political dissidents. The next stage is anybody’s guess. By Itay Mack The arrest of three anti-occupation activists, Ezra Nawi, Guy Butavia, and Nasser Nawajah, and the refusal to let them meet with their attorneys, did not take place as…

These are the anti-occupation activists jailed under gag order
Israeli authorities arrest prominent activists Ezra Nawi, Guy Butavia, and Nasser Nawajah. At least one of them was barred from meeting with his attorney for days. In court, one activist says his interrogators used materials taken directly from a right-wing organization. Photos and video by Oren Ziv/Activestills.org The three anti-occupation activists in Israeli custody whose identities…

Israel’s volunteer thought-police
Right-wing activists have been infiltrating human rights and anti-occupation organizations. The spies did do serious damage, but to a much bigger target than they intended: Israeli society. Two weeks ago I wrote about a right-wing group trying to recruit people to a “top secret” mission: spying on left-wing organizations in Israel. The outfit was largely a…

I, too, was undercover when I met Ezra Nawi. Here’s what I saw
I have plenty of criticism for Ezra Nawi. I also have lots of love for him. Part of being a leftist is using language that transcends black and white. By Mijal Simonet Corech The radio is on; it’s always on. We’re cooking. Suddenly, I hear the words, “a left-wing activist was arrested at the airport.” My…

How respectable journalists are joining attacks on Israel’s Left
The country’s top investigative news program airs a hidden-camera sting operation carried out by a shady right-wing organization, and fails to ask the tough questions and give the necessary context. Uvda, Israel’s most prominent investigative television news program, dedicated its 600th episode on Thursday to joining the massive-and-growing campaign against the Israeli Left and human rights NGOs…
