Can America avoid falling into the Israel trap?
If Israel can teach American liberals anything, it’s that they cannot afford to rest on their laurels. The case of Israel demonstrates that fear-mongering and tribalism can easily prop up an oppressive and racist regime for decades. It is not uncommon for Israeli authorities to detain, interrogate and deport tourists of Arab or Palestinian descent,…

Trump’s win poses a challenge we must respond to
The nativist rabble-rousing and promises of expulsion and exclusion that carried Donald Trump to victory are worryingly similar to the resurgence of Meir Kahane’s Kach movement in Israel.

Marketing ‘no-blacks’ apartment buildings in Tel Aviv

Autoxenophobia: The ‘demographic threat’ goes worldwide
The real demographic balance that should worry liberal, humanist, open and progressive people is the number of xenophobes in our society, rather than the number of people with beards, skullcaps or hijabs.

Cyber-defamation of fatal Palestinian crash should be delegitimized
A tragic accident causing the death of ten Palestinian children brought out the hateful side of Israeli Internet readers. This should be a wake-up call; the answer is not to conceal such speech from the public domain, rather to delegitimize it. By Ido Liven Rarely does my Facebook news feed keep me occupied for more…
