PRETEXTS
The government’s
Opposition to peace
Is constant.

The next? • More...

Mohammad Bakri
The actor Mohammad Bakri
Is the target of
A boycott campaign
With ministerial support
It's a pity for Bakri
That he is not a settler.
Then, such a campaign
Would be forbidden by law. • More...

MANIFESTLY ILLEGAL
Migron, a manifestly
Illegal settlement
On private Palestinian land,
Has been asked to move

What next?
A direct line
Leads from
The anti-democratic legislation
In the Knesset,
Through the violent rampage

Delay
Half a year ago,
Gush Shalom appealed
Against the law forbidding

THE GOLEM
Palestinian demonstrators
Are being shot.
In face of rampaging settlers,

SHOCKED
Our leaders
Are shocked
By the results
Of the free elections
In Egypt.

Into the mirror:

And the admirers
Of Joe McCarthy
Won. • More...

THE PROOF
Withholding Palestinian money
Was Netanyahu's way
Of pressuring the PA
To stop demanding
Independence.
But this arbitrary act
Has clearly shown them
Just how urgently
They need
Independence. • More...

If already...
The Prime Minister

PUNISHMENT
With a majority
Of 107 against 14,
Amid wild applause,
UNESCO accepted
The State of Palestine
As a full member.
“Punishing” the Palestinians
Offends 107 countries
And isolates Israel
Even more. • More...

THE THREAT
Foreign Minister Lieberman
Called for the removal
Of Mahmud Abbas.

IT IS POSSIBLE!
The lesson from
The prisoner exchange:
When the goal is just
And we struggle for it
Long and hard -
We can bend
Even a Netanyahu
And achieve what seems
Impossible! • More...

Logically

Towards peace.

Anatot settlers
Brutally assaulted
Palestinians and Israeli
Peace activists.

But looked the other way
Some of the attackers
Were themselves policemen
Living in the settlement. • More...

QUIZZ
Who said:
“I hope that
Our neighbors
Will realize that
We cannot be made
To remain a subordinate
Dependent minority
In our historic homeland!”

THE PRICE
Turkey is turning
Into a foe,
The peace with Egypt
Is evaporating.
The Gaza siege
Is strengthening Hamas.
The refusal to recognize
Palestine
Is isolating
Israel. • More...

Instead of panicking...
The great majority
Of the world's nations
Are about to
Vote for recognizing
The State of Palestine
If you can't beat them,
Why not join them? • More...

Déjà vu
Again killed and injured,
Again brinkmanship,
Again a fragile cease-fire

And missile defenses
For the next round.

This mass movement
For Social Justice
Will wash away
The blind worship
Of "security"

PINOCCHYAHU
