For Michelle Alexander’s critics, Palestinians don’t deserve civil rights
The uproar by Jewish establishment figures over Alexander’s New York Times essay in support of Palestinian rights echoes the reactions of white Americans to the Civil Rights Movement decades ago. Michelle Alexander’s powerful New York Times essay on Saturday (“Time to Break the Silence on Palestine”), ahead of the commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, was…

Military dictatorship requires dehumanization
A top military official dubiously declares that a Palestinian teen shot in the head by Israeli soldiers actually just had a bicycle accident. Welcome to a new era of Palestinian dehumanization. The evidence was there for all to see. Anyone who wanted to know why 15-year-old Mohammed Tamimi, Ahed Tamimi’s cousin, has only two-thirds of…

Is Michael Oren a ‘real’ person?
The alleged former ambassador has made numerous statements and claims recently that cast serious doubts on the veracity of his existence as a real person – most recently, news that he initiated a parliamentary inquiry into whether Ahed Tamimi’s family is ‘real.’ (Satire) For the past two years, +972 Magazine has been conducting a secret…

’60 Minutes’ report on Palestinian Christians gets it wrong
Palestinian Christians are no different than other Palestinians. We all suffer the same. There have already been a number of articles written in response to CBS’s 60 Minutes report about Christians in the Holy Land. The sexy story in all this appears to be Michael Oren’s interview with Bob Simon of 60 Minutes, and the…

WATCH: Raw footage of 60 Minutes interview with Michael Oren
After watching the 60 Minutes interview with Michael Oren, I felt like puking. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is. And if you only have a minute, just watch this short segment, where Oren looks Bob Simon straight in the eye with a look that could make your blood curl, and tells him…

Israel’s not-so-stellar record on treatment of Christians
Much has been made of the inept appearance of Michael Oren – American Jew turned Israeli ambassador to the United States – on 60 Minutes, in which he admitted that from time to time he calls up senior TV brass to make certain they censor the work of their writers and editors. This morning, Haaretz…

Israeli response to fly-in proves West Bank is the Palestinians’ prison
Advocates for Israel often claim that the Palestinians run their own life. Yet again and again it appears that the West Bank has become their prison. Last week I posted here a criticism of Ambassador Michal Oren’s Foreign Policy piece, titled “Israel’s Resilient Democracy.” One of Ambassador Oren’s claims was that the fact that Palestinians…

Amb. Oren concedes Israel’s interference in U.S. politics
Ambassador Oren is prolific these days. In a letter to the editor of the New York Times published on April 11, he addresses a piece that appeared a few days earlier, entitled “A friendship dating to 1976 resonates in 2012“, describing the longtime friendship between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who…

Deputy Speaker Tibi launches complaint against Amb. Oren
In his Foreign Policy piece, Israel’s ambassador to Washington repeated the false claim that MK Tibi expressed support for suicide attacks. Tibi has now sent an official letter to the Foreign Ministry, demanding a retraction. Of all the factual errors, omissions and half-truths in Ambassador Michael Oren’s piece at Foreign Policy, titled “Israel’s Resilient Democracy,”…

Omissions, half-truths, lies: Ambassador Oren in Foreign Policy
In a piece recently published, Israel’s Ambassador to Washington Michael Oren rejected claims regarding anti-democratic trends in his country, and compared the legal status of Palestinians in the West Bank to that of American citizens in Washington DC and the U.S. territories. A response. When Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu appointed Professor Michael Oren – a historian…

Michael Oren returned from Tel Aviv, but saw nothing
By Hagai El-Ad Israel’s ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, tries hard to separate the Israeli social justice protests from the Arab Spring. He ends up sounding both out of date and out of touch. Israelis and Palestinians are again gradually engulfed in escalating violence. While hoping that the situation will not further escalate, Israel’s social…

Adelson: Obama’s moves liable to bring the destruction of Israel
The gambling billionaire, who publishes the pro-Netanyahu “Israel Hayom” tabloid, said he objects to an agreement with any of the current Palestinian leaders Unlike the confrontation between the White House and Jerusalem over the settlements during the administration’s first year, I think that the current rift has more to do with tones and personal mistrust…

J-street under attack – Birthright trip canceled
J Street was in the headlines recently for two incidents that reporters are deeming to be indicative of the self-declared “pro-Israel pro-peace” lobby’s inability to gain acceptance in the mainstream American Jewish establishment. The first incident was Congressman (Jewish and democratic) Gary Ackerman’s public disassociation with J Street over its urging the US not to…
