A century after its founding, the Israeli Communist Party is at a crossroads
For 100 years, Maki has been the leading force for Jewish-Palestinian equality in Israeli politics, yet it has failed to unite Arab and Jewish workers into a viable movement. Was it doomed from the start?

Ayman Odeh is right: Why should Palestinians serve in the occupier’s police?
Despite Israeli outrage, it is legitimate for the Joint List leader to ask his people not to be part of an apparatus that brutally oppresses other Palestinians.

Israelis post anti-Arab racism online every 46 seconds, study finds
A new study shows that Israeli Jews publushed 675,000 racist posts on social media in 2016 — a dangerous increase from 2015, when only 280,000 such posts were published. Every 46 seconds an Israeli Jew publishes a racist or inciting comment against Arabs on Facebook and other social networks, a new study finds. According to the Arab…

Israel Police backtrack over injury to Palestinian MK
When MK Ayman Odeh received a head wound during clashes in Umm el-Hiran a fortnight ago, witnesses contradicted the police claim that he had been hit by stones. A new forensic report throws the official narrative further into doubt — and police spokespeople are now denying their original statements. When the news came out that MK Ayman…

By siding with the police, the media incites against Arab citizens
The majority of Israeli journalists simply copied the official police version of the deadly events in Umm el-Hiran last week, effectively painting 20 percent of Israeli citizens as terrorists. Kudos to the state: the Israeli media is now taking an active part in the government’s incitement. Last week we were lucky enough to read news reports…

Palestinian MK injured ahead of home demolitions: ‘The police are liars’
Although all evidence points to wounds from sponge-tipped bullets, police claim Joint List head Ayman Odeh was hit by stones thrown by Bedouin protesters in Umm el-Hiran. If the police are proven wrong, it means they shot the leader of the third-largest party in Israel in the face without any justification. UPDATE: This post was updated with a…

Two killed in Bedouin village slated to be demolished, replaced with Jewish town

When some are more equal than others before the law
The differing approaches to suspected law-breaking by Netanyahu and Palestinian MK Basel Ghattas expose just how selective the rule of law in Israel really is. Law is a deceptive concept. We like to take pride in being “law-abiding citizens,” and so tend to reject and condemn members of our community who have broken the law.…

Israelis will pay the price for shunning Palestine’s Shimon Peres
One day Mahmoud Abbas, who suppresses his own people to protect Israelis, will also pass away. That’s when the Palestinian pressure cooker will explode. Arabs and Jews in Israel, Palestine, and the Arab world at large, I promise you that next time Shimon Peres dies, Joint List head Ayman Odeh and the rest of the Joint…

Now that Peres is gone, it’s time the Zionist Left did some soul searching
Instead of condemning Arab MKs for boycotting Peres’ funeral, Zionist Left parties should ask themselves why Palestinian citizens don’t trust them. Why are so many Jews in Israel disappointed and angered by the Joint List’s decision to not attend Shimon Peres’ funeral? What is the source of the endless bitterness and incitement on the Internet? How…
