Israel’s armed drones are heralding an era of automated killing
The army's use of UAVs has led to soaring exports and a mounting Palestinian death toll, yet there is no public debate over their legality or morality.

10 years since ‘Cast Lead’: How Israel first declared total war on Gaza
The firepower, scale of destruction, and numbers of Palestinians killed during Operation Cast Lead were unprecedented in the brutal history of the conflict. Since then, the tactics used have become part of the IDF’s arsenal in its wars on Gaza. By Avihai Stollar Ten years have passed since the Israeli army changed the way it wages war,…

Why I’ll be on the Gaza flotilla this Jewish New Year
In the days before Rosh Hashana, days of introspection and forgiveness, I am reminded that by virtue of my identity as an Israeli citizen I am responsible for the disaster and tragedy befalling the people of Gaza. Introspection begins with opening one’s eyes and recognizing one’s sins, and only then trying to repair them. There is…

Gaza war: It’s about keeping the Palestinians under control
Israel has been waging a single war since the mid-70s. Its goal is to avoid sharing power or assets with the other people living on this land. The Gaza war wasn’t about creating a new order, but about maintaining the old one. At the time of this writing, Operation Protective Edge has come to an…

The time is ripe for a UN resolution on Gaza
With a ceasefire now in effect between Israel and Hamas, diplomacy can begin to take root. By Lolita Brayman A 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire between Israel and Hamas seems to be shakily holding, with a lull in rocket attacks and the deployment of the Israeli military to positions outside of Gaza. The IDF spokesperson officially announced…

Dispatch from Gaza: In Al Shifa, doctors can’t keep up with the wounded
In Cast Lead, some 5,300 Palestinians were injured. This time around, the number is almost twice that – with no end in sight. Hebron-born oncologist Haitham Al Amleh had never seen Gaza. Like most Palestinians from the West Bank, he had been barred from traveling here by an Israeli-imposed permit system that has made…

Who are the Israelis refusing the call of Protective Edge?
On Saturday evening, another anti-war demonstration was held in Tel Aviv. A few hundred people marched and chanted and hoped that rumors of a drawdown were true. With minimal numbers and attention, the demonstrations have had little impact. But there doesn’t seem much else that those opposed to the war can do. Soldiers and reservists…

How can you possibly oppose this war?
Someone asked me an innocent question: “What is the position of Israelis who are against the war?” There are obvious answers. First, this is a disproportionate war that harms huge numbers of civilians. The IDF is bombarding an area that it has already imprisoned by occupation from 1967, and then through suffocating border, movement, import…

What ‘no country in the world’ should tolerate
Israel says that ‘no country in the world’ would agree to live under the threat of Gaza’s rockets, but ignores its own culpability in its 100-eyes-for-an eye spiral of violence. Text and photos by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler/Activestills.org One of the common talking points used to defend Israel’s pummeling of Gaza is that “no country in the…

‘They left us no choice’: On military escalation and its Israeli rationale
The alternatives to military action shouldn’t only be examined when things blow up, but rather in the context of the months and years that preceded this latest round of fighting. When it comes to using military force, I find Netanyahu to be one of the most restrained prime ministers Israel has ever had. I don’t…
