Trump’s wall would be a moral and practical failure — just like Israel’s
Donald Trump’s proposal to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border was a cornerstone of his presidential campaign.

Charged with conspiracy — for renting a rope to climb over the wall
Despite admitting that the young man was only looking for work, police decide to charge him with conspiracy to commit a crime — renting a rope and ladder.

What about us ‘beasts’ living inside the Villa in the Jungle?
Netanyahu’s magic solution for all of Israel’s problems is to fence the state in. But he will still be left with over a million Arabs, potential beasts of prey, and all the incitement in the world will not remove them. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month announced a plan to surround the State of…

Why Herzog’s diplomatic plan looks an awful lot like apartheid
Looking closely at Labor’s plan, the logic behind it becomes clear: since it is difficult to envision a Palestinian state in the foreseeable future, Israel should no longer be ashamed of putting Palestinians in Bantustans. By Neve Gordon On Sunday night, Israel’s Labor Party unanimously approved their leader’s diplomatic plan. Labor’s premier Isaac Herzog laid…

The Palestinian village that refuses to give up on popular struggle

Netanyahu’s transfer plan is met with silent complicity
The prime minister’s proposal to revoke the residency status of 100,000 East Jerusalemites sends an unequivocal message to all Arabs living under Israeli rule: your rights are rooted in our good will alone, and conditionally so.
