Gaza quiet shows Hamas’ pragmatism
Despite violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank, for the past three months Hamas has maintained calm on the Gaza border — curbing rocket-fire against Israel.

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…

What Israel’s ‘precision bombing’ of Gaza looks like
The kind of violence visited upon the people of Gaza is designed to strafe armies, not refugee camps or city blocks. In the aftermath of Israel’s last major assault on Gaza — nine days of round-the-clock bombing and shelling which began on November 14, 2012 — I visited the scene of one of its most…

Photos: Deadliest day yet in Gaza
Each days brings new horrors. Sunday was the deadliest day since the beginning of this escalation, and the deadliest day since Operation Cast Lead.

Israel’s social media campaign: The first war lost on Twitter?
By Anna Momigliano It has been noted that this is the first war declared on Twitter. At this point I find myself wondering if this might be as well the first war lost on Twitter. Don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that there are thousands of people on both sides in fear of…

The Tel Aviv bubble has burst – the status quo should go with it
The Tel Aviv bubble has burst – or it is in denial. Or a bit of both. Whatever the diagnosis may be, the fact that rockets from Gaza have reached the city for the fifth time in four consecutive days (rockets were just fired at around 18:45 while I was writing this), even if they…

IDF sends text message to Gaza mobile phones: ‘The next phase is on the way’

Cut off from everywhere: When Gaza feels like another world
The transformation of Palestinians into objects and the attempt to undermine the relationships they have with one another form the context in which this latest assault on Gaza must be understood. By Vicky Hosker Although less than three hours away from Bethlehem, Gaza often feels like another world to me. The distinguishing feature of Israel’s…

Tragedy, farce and denial in Kiryat Malachi
The three Israelis killed on Thursday were innocent – but the State of Israel is not. Where is the house that got hit with the rocket, I asked the guy behind the counter of a snack bar in Kiryat Malachi on Thursday. Go to the third traffic circle and make a left, he said.…

Hoping for a quiet night during the new Gaza War
First we get hit by Hurricane Sandy while on vacation in New York. Now this. But hey, nothin’ like a good ‘ol war to fix that writer’s block. Gotta hand it to Bibi, I’m blogging once again. Thanks, Bibi! (Or wait, should I thank Hamas, too? Yeah… I should. And Barak. Oh, and Barack. Oh,…
