Fortress Israel and the quiet dignity of Palestinian resistance
Peter Beinart’s interrogation at Ben Gurion Airport made headlines not because of his clout as a public intellectual, but thanks to the quiet dignity of Palestinian children, women and men who have endured Fortress Israel for years. I first lost my father in the heat of a Jericho summer, 20 years ago this week. He disappeared, or so it…

Too little, too late: On Peter Beinart’s ‘The Crisis of Zionism’
While Peter Beinart’s latest book is well worth reading, his solutions come far too late and are likely to achieve little. I’ve recently finished reading Peter Beinart’s controversial book, The Crisis of Zionism; admittedly I read it mostly to understand what the noise was all about. The book took heavy criticism, if by “criticism” you…

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…

When it comes to Israel, the political is personal: Review of ‘Crisis of Zionism’
The author of a new book describing a crisis in Zionism may not be telling us anything we didn’t already know – but in tracing his own personal journey of his anguished relationship to Israel, Peter Beinart has touched a nerve no one in the American Jewish community can ignore. At a recent lecture in…

Driving through the West Bank ‘felt like apartheid’
Three anecdotes from Peter Beinart’s Crisis of Zionism reveal a lot on what can and what can’t be said in Washington today “The Crisis of Zionism,” Peter Beinart’s new book on the Jewish establishment’s transformation into a propaganda and lobbying arm for the occupation and the settlements, has a few fresh examples of Washington’s double…

J Street, undaunted by reality: Interview with Jeremy Ben-Ami
“It’s much easier to sit at home and lob criticism through blogs and tweets, and post that this isn’t changing the world overnight. But political change happens one step at a time…If you’re sitting on the sidelines critiquing the runners, I have no respect for you. Get in the race, show you can run it…

What’s wrong with J Street – an open letter to members
By Dr. Naftali Kaminski Dear friends, I was among the founding members of the J Street Chapter of Pittsburgh. I attended the two previous conferences and was very active in organizing and initiating events. Over the last year, I gradually grew disillusioned and a few months ago I decided not to continue my activism with J…

Ideological revolution in Zionism must include feminist values, rhetoric
By Zoe Jick This week’s provocative NY Times op-ed by Peter Beinart is already the subject of much controversy among those engaged in public debate about Israel and Zionism. Coming from a prominent academic voice of liberal Zionism, Beinart’s message pushes the boundaries of pro-Israel activism by maintaining his “devotion to the Jewish people” while allowing for…

Attacks on Beinart will reveal state of liberal Zionism in America
Israeli ambassador Michael Oren: Beinart ‘beyond the Israeli mainstream,’ his call to boycott settlements ‘supported only by a marginal and highly radical fringe.’ I reported here yesterday on Peter Beinart’s op-ed in the New York Times, calling the American Jewish community to boycott Israel’s settlements in the West Bank, and for American administration to stop…

J Street and Zion Square engage ‘Pro-Israel’ question
I write a lot about the term “pro-Israel,” since it is a highly-charged and problematic term used often with impunity. Regardless of what I think it means, it is clear that it is a subjective term that is often attempted to be passed off as an objective one. Even just saying that a working definition of…

The J street conference: An “A” for effort, “F” for results
From this Israeli’s perspective, the J Street conference looked like a pretty sleek production. Too bad that’s all it amounted to. Now that the folks at JStreet are finished patting each other on the back for a job well done, I’d like to give them a perspective on the conference from one who did not…
