How the settlers took over Israel
Over the past 13 years the settler Right succeeded in establishing itself as a hegemonic force in Israeli politics, education, judiciary, culture, and society. If the Left has any chance of pushing back, instead of moderating itself it must radicalize. By Rami Kaplan A sense of doom has overcome the left-wing camp in Israel these days.…

The silent majority of complacency: Israel’s right-wing voters
They’re not overtly racist, violent or angry. They’re not worried by the prospect of another intifada or war. They’re not singing about the economy, but they’re not crying either. More than anything, they see no alternative to Netanyahu. They’re the right-wing mainstream.

Why Mizrahim don’t vote for the Left
It is no wonder that Mizrahim vote for right-wing parties when the Ashkenazi-dominated Left has done everything in its power to exclude them. Want things to change? Start talking about Ashkenazi privilege. By Tom Mehager Those who have, historically, voted for Israel’s left-wing camp are often nicknamed “the white tribe.” On the other hand, the…

Facing increased right-wing violence, Israeli leftists learn to fight back
Attacks against Arabs in Jerusalem became routine this past summer and in Tel Aviv left-wing activists faced violence from the Right. ‘We don’t want to attack Baruch Marzel’s headquarters or anything, but we believe the victimhood of the Left must end here,’ one activists explains. Thursday and Saturday nights in downtown Jerusalem have become terrifying. On those days,…

Israel’s Left forgot what dissent really means
Dissent means going against the majority when you believe the majority is wrong — and not just to be contrary. That means being unpopular almost by definition; the majority will never send us flowers. My colleague Mairav Zonszein has written an eloquent piece in The New York Times decrying the state of dissent in Israel,…

Accusing Israel of ‘genocide’: Major fail
And deservedly so, because it’s a false accusation. This is not how to fight the occupation, this is how to help strengthen it. Mahmoud Abbas’ speech last Friday at the United Nations General Assembly gave the highest-profile-ever exposure to the accusation, popular among anti-Zionists, that Israel practices “genocide” against the Palestinians, and that the war…

Rightists say bring down the Wall, leftists say let’s keep it
Noted right-wingers call to demolish the separation wall. True, they are driven by a desire for annexation, but the Left finds itself in an unseemly position – defending one of the great injustices of the occupation in the name of the distant prospect of two states. Former Defense Minister Moshe Arens yesterday told Ma’ariv he thinks the…
