WATCH: ‘Jaffa flotilla’ marks destruction of Palestine’s cultural capital
Dozens of Palestinians and Israeli Jews sailed along the coast last week to mark the destruction of Jaffa — the former political, cultural and economic capital of Palestine — during the 1948 War. Organized by the Israeli NGO Zochrot, which works to raise awareness of the Nakba and promote the right of return among Israeli…

No, Arab MKs don’t ‘care too much’ about the occupation
Israel’s Arab politicians are often attacked for ‘dealing too much’ with the Palestinian issue. But if they don’t speak up for a people who lack even the most basic civil rights, who will? One of the most-repeated criticism of Israel’s Palestinian members of Knesset, which always come up around election time, is that they “deal…

Turkey must fulfill its pledge to Israel
Netanyahu publicly placed his reputation and his country’s pride on the line in order to appease Obama and improve relations with Turkey; by ignoring its already agreed upon terms, Erdogan will make the Israeli people less likely to support another far-reaching agreement. By Aaron Magid At the end of a much-anticipated trip to Israel in…

Gaza-bound flotilla said planning to depart Turkey in coming days; activists deny plans to sail
Less than six months after an international flotilla failed to break the Gaza blockade, and for the most part failed to get out the door due in part to a strong international pressure campaign launched by Israel and its supporters, another vessel – the “Flotilla of Freedom 2” is said to depart Turkey on Sunday.…

Between Cairo and Ankara, Netanyahu’s failures are exposed
These are the most challenging times the Middle East has seen in decades, yet one couldn’t imagine a more inept government for Israel than the one that sits in Jerusalem Last month, Israel rejected a compromise over the flotilla incident that Israeli and Turkish negotiators reached.

Turkey’s response to UN flotilla report: not just about Israel
Turkey’s response to the UN’s Palmer Report investigating the 2010 flotilla debacle was like a roar in the jungle of Middle East and global politics that had been building for at least two years now. Turkey had leveraged the report even prior to its publication as the deadline for an ultimatum to Israel: apologize or…

Where are the Palestinian voices in mainstream media?
Have international solidarity mobilizations drowned out Palestinian voices? Over the last few weeks, media in this region was filled with images of people from all over the Western world holding up Palestinian flags and chanting “Free Palestine.” We’ve heard from the likes of Americans, like prize-winning author Alice Walker and former CIA official Ray McGovern (both…

After banning international activists from West Bank, Israel tries to do same with Israelis
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aww8Pd1pUEs&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] One day after the “air flotilla” landed in Tel Aviv, Palestinian and Israeli activists held a demonstration in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh just west of Ramallah. The village’s agricultural spring was taken over by Jewish settlers in the nearby settlement of Halamish over two years ago. Every Friday since, villagers and…

The unlikely alliance between Greek activists and the Flotilla
After a week of anti-austerity demonstrations and flotilla training, activists from both camps have emerged unified in their claim that Greek government no longer represents its people; rather it is now beholden to the interests of foreign bodies, be it Israel or the International Monetary Fund. ATHENS – On a sleepy Friday afternoon in the Greek port city…

Information ministry welcomes “Israel in therapy” video
Yesterday we covered here a masterpiece of self-defeating propaganda showing “Israel” as a distressed and paranoid young woman suspicious of people trying to help her and having flashbacks to edited and censored videos of the IDF raid on the marmara. While the initial suspicion was that this was a trailer for Ami Kaufman’s Izzie series,…

What about the Jews on the US boat to Gaza?
For Jews on board the US boat to Gaza, the Audacity of Hope, their decision to sail to Gaza was a concrete action marking their divergence from mainstream American Jewish allegiance of the Israeli policies. Jewish presence in the flotilla represents growing dissatisfaction among American Jews with Israel’s incessant willingness to monopolize modern Jewish identity.…

“Sexy Israel” getting treatment for flotilla nightmares
(Tlatest update on the role of the Information Ministry can be found here) I’m somewhat of a fool for excruciatingly bad Hasbara videos, but this one surely takes the cake: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKSXXuZRPNM&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] From this video, we learn “Israel” is massively paranoid, even somewhat hysterical, believing edited second-hand evidence from biased sources (IDF spokesman’s video from the…
