Israel 2011 - it depends what you are boycotting / Adam Keller

Sacred Mantras
THE PALESTINIANS are planning something thoroughly obnoxious: they intend to apply to the UN for statehood. • More...

What is hateful to you...
The United States
Treats
Jonathan Pollard -

As we treat
Thousands of
Palestinian prisoners,
Who also have
Fathers. • More...

Deny! Deny!
I AM fed up with all this nonsense about recognizing Israel as the “Jewish State”. • More...

True
“There is
No solution
To the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict,”
Netanyahu declared.

He’s right:
There is
No solution
As long as
HE
Is in power. • More...

A Brown-haired Young Man
MY HERO of the year (for now) is a young brown-haired Palestinian refugee living in Syria called Hassan Hijazi. • More...

Regarding sovereignty
Every state
Has the right
To defend its
International borders,

Provided
It defines its borders
In agreement
With its neighbors
And gains
International recognition.
For them.

Netanyahu has done... • More...

A State which demands the right to protect its borders must define where the border is.

RACHEL
I HAD the unqualified blessing of living with Rachel Avnery for 58 years. Last Saturday I took leave of her body. She was as beautiful in death as she was in life. I could not take my eyes off her... • More...

Simply so
The
State
Of
Palestine
In the
1967
Borders
With
East Jerusalem
As its
Capital. • More...

Abolish "Jerusalem Day"!
The provocative settler parade planned in Sheikh Jarrah reflects the nature of this false holiday and false unification of Jerusalem • More...

The opening of the Rafah Crossing is a death blow to the siege of Gaza - ridiculous to go on with it.
It's time to bring back the Navy ships from off the Gaza coast, stop the harassing of Palestinian fishermen and allow the next flotilla to proceed.

A Palestinian state will naturally seek to... • More...

Bibi and the Yo-Yos
IT WAS all rather disgusting.

There they were, the members of the highest legislative bodies of the world’s only superpower, flying up and down like so many yo-yos, applauding wildly, every few... • More...

Moon is made of green cheese
In the US Congress,
Netanyahu can declare that
The Moon is made of green cheese
And get a standing ovation.

Nevertheless, the whole world
Accepts the 1967 lines
As the basis for the
Border of... • More...

A fictional Palestine never to become reality and a collision course (Gush Shalom's reaction to Netanyahu speech)
More...

The small difference
It is interesting to know
What Netanyahu has to tell
To Obama and in Congress.
Also important to know
What Obama has to say.

But never forget:
Without Israeli-Palestinian peace
The US has still a... • More...

Rubber Man
I COULD not restrain myself. Though I was alone in the room, I burst out laughing. • More...

The same junk
Barak is recycling
The "generous offers" from 2000:
A truncated Palestinian State
Suffocated and bottled in
With continued Israeli occupation
Of the Jordan Valley.

It is a complete absurd
To... • More...

“Rejoice Not…”
“REJOICE NOT when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth, / Lest the Lord see [it], and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.”. • More...

Disaster
Hamas declared
It's ready to accept
A Palestinian state
In the '67 borders
With East Jerusalem
As its capital.

Oh, what a disaster!!! • More...

One Word
IN ONE word: Bravo!

The news about the reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas is good for peace. If the final difficulties are ironed out and a full agreement is signed by the two... • More...

Therefore
One makes peace
With whole nations.

Therefore,
Reconciliation between
Ramallah and Gaza
Is good for
Israel. • More...

Tahrir Square, Tel Aviv
AMRAM MITZNA is a nice guy. He is modest and radiates credibility. He reminds one of the late Lova Eliav, the Secretary General of the Labor party who quit the party in disgust. Like Eliav, he has... • More...

Not getting easier
The Golan settlements
Have prevented
Peace with Syria
When it was
Within reach.

Now it will become
By far
More difficult. • More...

The Settler State
THE OTHER day, the almighty General Security Service (Shabak, formerly Shin Bet) needed a new boss. It is a hugely important job, because no minister ever dares to contradict the advice of the... • More...

Talk to Hamas.
Sign with Hamas
A detailed agreement
For a permanent cease-fire
Under international supervison.

It would give more security
Than the Iron Dome anti-missiles. • More...

The Gold and the Stone
THERE IS something tragicomic about the persona of Richard Goldstone. • More...

Message lives on
In Juliano Mer-Khamis
Israeli-Palestinian coexistence
Was personified

The non-violent resistance hero
Against the occupation
Was murdered

His example will be followed
By inheritors among both... • More...

Shocked and mourning
at the murder of the actor and man of peace

Juliano Mer-Khamis

Our heartfelt condolences to
his family, friends, and co-workers
Israeli and Palestinian
