This Week's Message

A year already
This week we mark
A year since the death of
Uri Avnery, man of peace.
In a country which, bluntly
And stupidly, blocks
Members of Congress
And gets drawn into
A new escalation
With the... • More...

Chutzpah
"They come to destroy,
We come to build!"
So declared Netanyahu,
Exactly one week after
He sent soldiers and bulldozers
To destroy the homes of
70 Palestinian families. • More...

No partner
"Ben Gurion proclaimed the state,
But also Netanyahu had
An important achievement:
He terminated the negotiations
With the Palestinians",
The "Be'Sheva" rightist weekly wrote.
Thus, they at least... • More...

Destruction gimmick
How to let right wingers
Know that it is worthwhile
To vote Likud?
Very simple:
Send hundreds of soldiers
With bulldozers
To destroy an entire

In East Jerusalem. • More...

Just remove the army
Mr. Netanyahu, there is
No need to "uproot"
Any settlement.
Just to remove the army.
Settlers wanting to.stay on
Under full Palestinian rule -

Who is illegal here?
The settlers demand
The destruction of
28,000 "illegal"
Palestinian homes.
International Law says clearly:

Which are illegal.
Not the Palestinian homes. • More...

Sixty fishing boats
Sixty fishing boats
Confiscated at sea
Sixty fishermen
Getting home
Without fish -
And without a boat.
Now, Netanyahu promises
To return the boats.

Not for sale
The Palestinians are
Not willing
To remain
Under occupation
For money,
However much.
Sorry Mr Trump,
Not everything
Is for sale. • More...

For sale
Netanyahu and Trump
Are best friends.
Just one thing
Separates them:
Sale of the Haifa Port
To the Chinese.
Perhaps we could sell
Trump Heights instead. • More...

There is no stopping in the middle
To the attention of

And those who cheer him:

There is no stopping in the middle
You end up
Devouring the whole territory

The choice is ours
A knife attack
In East Jerusalem
Is a reminder of
Israel's rule over the Palestinians,
Fifty-two years old
This week.

So, for the time being
No cutting down
Of the Supreme Court.
No special immunity
For Prime Ministers.
No annexations.

Behind the curtains
For the Eurovision
We present an image
Of an open, pluralist and
Tolerant society.

Our Nationality Law

The additional day
Already on Saturday night
It was possible to
Achieve a cease-fire.
But oh, the deterrence.
During the additional day

Simple enough
The Two State Solution
Is better not mentioned,
Says Trump's man Greenblatt.
Too difficult a concept.
In fact, it is simple enough

The whole territory

After many hunger strikes
The state of Israel now agreed

How lucky
What should we vote for?
To get rid of Netanyahu,
Or to end the occupation?
Fortunately, there are
Parties and candidates
Standing firmly for both. • More...

There is a partner
The Government of Israel
Negotiated with Hamas
And reached an agreement.
Both Hamas and Israel
Kept their part of the deal.
If it is possible to talk
Even to Hamas,
Let no one say again

The never-ending injustice
Gal Keidan was born
In Be’er Sheba
On the 33rd year
Of the occupation,
And grew up to be

To be shot to death,
A soldier, in the 52nd year
Of the never-ending injustice,

Self-evident facts

The permanent status quo
The worst corruption
Of Netanyahu is
Drowning the hope for peace
In a pool of cynicism
And making the Occupation
Into a permanent Status Quo

On the moon and on earth
A space probe
Was launched
To have
The Israeli pride on the moon.
On the same day,
Also a bullet was launched

That's what Occupation does
“You send your kids
To the army, the Territories,
