Delaying EU settlement rules ‘reinforces Israeli intransigence’
The EU’s settlement guidelines, if implemented, could be the first step in showing Israel that there are consequences for its occupation and illegal settlement building, and actually push both sides toward a resolution to the conflict. Since the EU announced new guidelines regarding its activity in settlements in July, Israel and most recently, the United…

The myth of benign sanctions against Iran
Sanctions against Iran, which have routinely been called ‘targeted’ but are now self-assuredly called ‘crippling,’ have long been crippling rather than targeted when it comes to their impact upon the Iranian people and economy. By Ali Fathollah-Nejad Sacrosanct sanctions: A fantastical construction They aim to bring recalcitrant tyrants to their senses, to put an end…

Former senior EU officials: ‘Oslo process has nothing more to offer’
An unprecedented letter by former European leaders and peace process veterans recognizes Western support for the occupation and calls for immediate steps that will bring an end to it. 13 European states support labeling products from Israeli settlements.

EU diplomats to Brussels: Put your money where your mouth is
Written in between the lines of the EU heads of mission report on Israeli settlements is a sense of frustration with the EU’s inaction against Israel. The EU makes regular statements against Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, but takes no action despite the existing tools it has at its disposal. At face value, the European Union…

Resource: EU Heads of Mission report on Israeli settlements
Prepared by the European Union heads of mission to the Palestinian Authority, the report is a strongly-worded and very critical of Israel’s settlement activities in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Could UNHRC’s settlement report put the ‘S’ back in BDS?
The last paragraph of the UN Human Rights Council-sanctioned report on Israeli settlements may lay the legal and practical foundations for a new, untried regime of economic and trade sanctions against Israel, or at least provide new tools to those already advocating BDS. The UNHRC-sanctioned International Fact Finding Mission’s report on Israeli settlements is by…

The profitable occupation, and why it is never discussed
An understanding of the profitable side of the occupation – way more considerable than most people imagine – could force us to change our entire political thinking.

The ‘drift toward war’ with Iran
Nuclear talks fail; hot summer ahead. What’s missing is courage. Even the New York Times is now reporting that what we’ve got with Iran is a “drift toward war.” The nuclear talks in Moscow ended yesterday, the NYT wrote, with “little visible progress toward a compromise that would stop the drift toward war.” The “little visible progress” was an agreement…
