Israeli peace activism: Same slogans for a different reality
As a fundamental human desire and right, peace traverses time and context. However, if it is to be realized it must be adjusted to political and social realities.

10,000 protest in Tel Aviv for a just peace, end to occupation
Under a coalition of Israeli left-wing political parties and organizations, thousands gathered in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square in the largest anti-war demonstration since the outbreak of violence in Gaza.

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…

Settlers confront IDF soldiers, and ‘price tag’ finally makes news
Clashes between settlers and Israeli forces left several border policemen hospitalized Tuesday morning. While the mainstream media was quick to condemn the settlers’ behavior, it missed the bigger story. We have been asking here for some time why the so-called “price tag” attacks don’t get the media attention they deserve. For those unfamiliar with the…

Shulamit Aloni, 1928-2014: Mother and prophet of the left
The woman who made human rights the central issue of the left’s political agenda has died at 86. Fearless and true to her values, Aloni stood up to Israel’s generals and rabbis until her very last days.

In West Bank, the logic of annexation supersedes the rule of law
Israeli authorities aren’t merely incompetent when it comes to defending the rights of Palestinians in Area C – they are part and parcel of a process dedicated to the area’s annexation. By Yesh Din, written by Yossi Gurvitz Last week, IDF forces removed, with hardly any noise, settlers from the lands of Muhammad Ibrahim ‘Ali…

Israel responds to EU: We only accept charity on our terms
Europe says it doesn’t want its largesse to be funneled over the Green Line – Israel screams anti-Semitism. Despite all the outrage and charges of Nazi-style behavior (here and here) that Israeli patriots are leveling against the European Union, the EU’s new guidelines concerning the occupied territories don’t take anything away from Israel; they just…

Rightists say bring down the Wall, leftists say let’s keep it
Noted right-wingers call to demolish the separation wall. True, they are driven by a desire for annexation, but the Left finds itself in an unseemly position – defending one of the great injustices of the occupation in the name of the distant prospect of two states. Former Defense Minister Moshe Arens yesterday told Ma’ariv he thinks the…
