Nikki Haley’s view of Gaza is through Israeli eyes only
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley came to Israel to see the conflict up close. It’s a shame that when it came to Gaza, she only got one perspective. By Yoni Mendel “We are at the height of an important visit from UN Ambassador Nikki Haley in Israel. We are visiting the towns…

UNESCO’s mistake on Jerusalem
The resolution was yet another shallow attack on identity elements, the same type I reject every time Israel does it to Palestinians. It was also a setback to the kind of UN action that could actually move the bar in a region that desperately needs it. UNESCO has made a startlingly bad move in voting…

There is no ‘day after’ Netanyahu
Short of allowing Palestinians to establish an independent state, there is nothing Netanyahu won’t do to ensure his political survival. Liberal Israeli columnist and Channel 10’s top political commentator Raviv Drucker published a piece in Haaretz Sunday, in which he waxes optimistic about the “day after Netanyahu” and who could possibly take over and bring…

WATCH: Rightists campaign on hate, incitement and arrogance
Two different election campaign videos released by major right-wing candidates have one major thing in common: they are very clear about what and who they are against, yet indicate next to nothing about what they stand for. In a highly incendiary video, Likud Knesset member Danny Danon, who was fired from his position as deputy defense…

One by one, Israel’s coalition members abandon two-state rhetoric
More and more, members of Israel’s ruling parties are matching their public statements to the reality they are implementing every minute on the ground: Israel’s opposition to the establishment of a viable Palestinian state and a negotiated two-state solution to the conflict. Economy Minister and Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett is the latest MK to join a…

The Likud presents: The craziest, most radical list ever expected to win elections
Knesset members behind attacks on the left, Arabs and asylum seekers won the day at the Likud primaries. All moderates but one were pushed down the list, and probably won’t serve in the next Knesset. The Likud, Israel’s ruling party the last four years, and the one expected to win the next elections according to…

Israeli government willingly lays foundations for Jewish terrorism
When the pogromchiks from Jerusalem go to court, they’ll have a strong case, saying they only did what was expected of them. Israel officially condemned last week the fact Jewish terrorists attacked a Palestinian vehicle with Molotov cocktails, wounding six of its passengers. Prime Minister Netanyahu quickly had an envoy call Palestinian President Abbas, and promised…

Kadima MK: Send leftists to camps; MKs attack African refugees
UPDATE: At the end of the Knesset hearing Tuesday, MK (Kadima) Yulia Shamalov Berkovtich said that “All human rights activists should be imprisoned and transported to camps we are building,” referring to a facility now being constructed in the south to hold African refugees. She referred to those aiding refugees as “hypocrites” that incite against Jews.…

UN refugee official: Deportation of Africans unlikely
An optimistic proposal, inspired by an interview with the UN refugee agency’s man in Israel. Last Friday, a couple of days after the south Tel Aviv riot, I interviewed William Tall, representative in Israel of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and came away thinking that there is a way to settle the crisis decently, which I didn’t think there was before.…

Arab leaders in Israel side with consensus on African immigrants
Palestinian MK Ahmad Tibi [Raam-Taal] tweeted this status on Friday: I oppose the entrance of infiltrators from Eritrea because they are coming to work instead of the Palestinians, but if they are here, they should be treated in a humane way, and not with the barbarity of (MK Danny) Danon and (MK Miri) Regev Some…

Mob against migrants: How far can the violence go?
The rioting last night in south Tel Aviv against African migrants – some of them asylum seekers – was another one of those moments that paralyzed me with a mixture of disbelief, horror and sorrow. The photos of smashed windows were reflexively associated in many Jewish minds with Kristallnacht, as many people on social networks…

Using rape to justify racism
On the eve of November 7, 1938, following the brutal expulsion of his family to the Polish border, a 17–year-old Jewish youth, Herschel Grynszpan, walked into the German embassy in Paris. He was carrying a recently-purchased pistol in his pocket. Grynzszpan asked to see an official, was brought to the office of Third Secretary Ernst vom…

The one-state reality vs. the two-state idea
This post was originally published on Peter Beinart’s Open Zion blog (@ The Daily Beast), as part of a debate regarding the fate of the two-state solution. This piece by Jerry Haber, on the same issue, is worth reading as well. And if you have the stomach for it, here is rightwing MK Danny Danon (Likud),…
