Growing US Public Support for One State Shared Equally by Israelis and Palestinians Falls on Deaf Ears | | Jonathan Cook - Dissident Voice - The American public is now evenly
split between those who want a two-state solution and those who prefer
a single state, shared by Israelis and Palestinians, according to a
survey published last week by the University of Maryland. And if a
Palestinian state is off the table – as a growing number of analysts
of the region conclude, given Israel’s intransigence and the endless
postponement of Mr Trump’s peace plan – then support for one state
rises steeply, to nearly two-thirds of Americans.-rh | 25/12/2018 |

Israeli Soldiers Briefly Detain Three Schoolgirls Near Ramallah | | IMEMCnews - Israeli soldiers detained, on Sunday morning, three

Israel displaces, locks up and kills Palestinian children | | Mohammad Balawi - The Palestinian Information Center - Consider a 16-
year-old who has lived all his life under occupation, has never a
chance to travel abroad, and has watched his family members to be
killed, imprisoned or forced to leave the country. Given how he has
grown up, would it make sense for him to attack a fully grown man
armed to his teeth with a screwdriver or a kitchen knife, or throw a
stone at his tormentors?-rh | 25/12/2018 |

IDF chief: US troops leaving Syria is ‘significant,’ but no need to overstate it | | JUDAH ARI GROSS - The Times of Israel - IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot
on Sunday called the White House’s decision to pull its troops from
Syria a “significant event,” but said the Israeli military would
continue to independently fight Iran’s military presence in the
neighboring country.-rh | 25/12/2018 |

A ‘stubborn’ Gaza photographer narrowly escapes killing but vows to return to fence next week | | Ahmad Kabariti - Mondoweiss - Gaza photographer Mohammed Asad tells
the story of how he miraculously survived gunfire yesterday, just a
few feet away from Mohammed al Jahjuh, 16, who was shot dead in the
neck by a bullet fired by Israeli soldiers during the ongoing
demonstrations near Israel’s fence. “Unlike the past 38 protests,
everything was almost quiet except for seven to eight stone throwers,
and no burning tires. I had just decided to go home with dozens of
photos I took. But I felt someone thought it was time for me to leave,
and he sent a bullet to my camera. He was an Israeli military
sniper.”-rh | 25/12/2018 |

Palestine`s Petty Fiefdoms: How the Palestinian Authority and Hamas are Destroying the Dream of a Free Palestine with Torture, Corruption and a Parallel Police State | | Ty Joplin - albawaba - The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and
Hamas in Gaza have prioritized ruling their strips of Palestinian land
over guaranteeing the rights of Palestinians. Al Bawaba spoke with
Palestinian activists, analysts, and human rights defenders who count
the PA and Hamas’ brutal tactics to maintain power, including
torturing dissidents and rampant corruption. It is becoming clear that
both have a significant role in disempowering Palestinians, taking
away their rights and any semblance that their wills are being
represented. They both have helped to trap the Palestinian people.-rh

MachsomWatch rejects violence | | Aviva Hay - Cleveland Jewish News - The article featured the right-
wing extremist organization, Im Tirzu, a group devoted to maligning
legitimate Israeli peace seeking human rights organizations and
specializing in launching witchhunts and campaigns against democracy.
MachsomWatch: Women Against the Occupation and for Human Rights, is
highlighted in this feature, alongside allegations against the New
Israel Fund. The article claims that MachsomWatch and other
organizations work to “delegitimize Israel and the IDF.” Nothing could
be further than the truth. The work of these organizations focuses on
protecting democracy and pluralism, building a just civil society and
seeking an end to the deadly occupation – the 51 years of military
rule of the Palestinian population – and the severe damage it causes
to both the Palestinian people and Israeli society.-rh | 18/12/2018 |

Violence escalates amid Israeli raid of Ramallah | | Daoud Kuttab - Al-Monitor - Many Palestinians believe that the heavy-
handed Israeli army incursion into the center of Ramallah on Dec. 10
is the most important reason behind this escalation. While the Oslo
Accord forbids Israeli soldiers from unilaterally entering areas that
are under full Palestinian security and administrative control — known
as “Area A” — Israeli security forces have repeatedly breached that
agreement. Two factors make this particular Israeli army incursion
into Area A different — namely, its strength and location.
Eyewitnesses told Al-Monitor that a very large army convoy entered
Ramallah Dec. 10 and headed for the offices of the Palestinian News
Agency WAFA, which is located a few hundred yards from the home of
President Mahmoud Abbas and across the street from the official
Palestinian presidential headquarters, Al-Muqata. The Israelis barged
into the state-run news agency and confiscated copies of the security
camera footage.-rh

The Left’s ideas are winning – so why are its politicians losing? | | Ayala Paniewsky - Molad - Public opinion polls show that most Israelis
support progressive positions. So why are progressive parties failing?
How did the liberal-democrat majority come to believe it is a minority?
On the ideological success and political failure of the Israeli Left –
and wher we go from here.-rh | 11/12/2018 |

We Shouldn’t Lie to Ourselves: Nonviolent Resistance Is Alive and Powerful in Gaza : It’s time for the international community to recognize and support it. | | Muhammad Shehada - The Nation - The international community justifies
its idleness during these periods by maintaining a strict no-contact
policy towards the authorities in Gaza. “We can’t talk to Hamas,” the
Europeans and Americans insist. But reality reveals the opposite: They
obviously can and do talk to Hamas, but only when a war or an armed
escalation is taking place, or when Hamas captures Israeli soldiers.
Then the international community hastens to Gaza, one after the other,
to restore stability.-rh | 11/12/2018 |

Netanyahu’s latest corruption case could expose long hidden secrets about Israel’s nuclear weapons program | | Ted Snider - Mondoweiss - If a legal examination of the relationship
between Netanyahu and Milchan, which may include his currently using
Milchan as a middle man in one of the newspaper bribery cases, were to
bring out that Netanyahu used Milchan as a middleman in the 1980’s to
illegally smuggle U.S. parts into Israel for use in Israel’s
clandestine nuclear program, then that could potentially not only
force a public admission of the existence of the nuclear program, but
also an American admission that they knew Israel was illegally
acquiring U.S. parts to help them develop that nuclear program. And
that, and not the survival of Netanyahu’s government, may be the
biggest danger in these indictments.-rh | 11/12/2018 |

When will the mainstream Jewish community call us to ‘light a candle’ for the Palestinian people? | | Howard Horowitz - Mondoweiss - Chanukah calls us to stand up against
religious persecution. As Jews and global citizens, we are all too
familiar with the horrors of violence against religious and ethnic
minorities—and we cannot stand idly by as the senseless brutality of
the Occupation of Palestine continues for more 50 years, a
continuation of the crisis (the Nakba) that forced more than 700,000
Palestinian people to flee to refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan
and Egypt, leaving everything behind in 1947 and 1948. Join us by
dedicating the 8th candle on the 8th night of Chanukah to the
Palestinian people. Together, Jews will illuminate our support for the
Palestinian people and share their stories for our communities to
hear.-rh | 11/12/2018 |

US, Israeli, Palestinian leaders more hawkish than their peoples | | Yossi Beilin - Al-Monitor - A survey conducted a few weeks ago by the
Palestinian Center for Public Opinion at Beit Sahour, among
Palestinians from the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip,
which has been since quoted in a publication of the Washington
Institute, shows that the positions of the Palestinian public are
significantly more moderate than those of its leaders; this is the
case in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, the Fatah-led West Bank and
East Jerusalem.-rh

Israel. He was suing the government for killing his three daughters
and niece 10 years ago, during Operation Cast Lead. The girls were

United Nations in which he criticized the Israeli occupation and the

"Israel asked the German government to pressure two left-leaning
political foundations to stop funding +972 Magazine, according to a
report in the German media Thursday. +972 was able to independently
verify the report.The total contributions from the two foundations,
Heinrich Böll Stiftung and Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, comprise only 9
percent of +972’s overall 2018 budget as of September. In the past
two years, 40 percent of our budget has come from the support of our

Neturei Karta’s long history of solidarity with Palestinians is subject of upcoming documentary | | Emmaia Gelman - Mondoweiss - Heather Tenzer is a filmmaker straddling
three worlds: she grew up in a modern Orthodox Jewish community that
was Zionist, she left it for non-religious life in New York, and she’s
an activist for Palestinian freedom. Her upcoming film, The Rabbis’
Intifada (http://therabbisintifada.com), uniquely stitches together
these three vantage points. Tenzer follows the strictly-Orthodox
rabbis of Neturei Karta – long-time supporters of Palestinian rights,
and opponents of Israeli colonialism – from the US to Jerusalem and
Gaza.-rh | 4/12/2018 |

The Netanyahu paradox: Guarding Israel from enemies without, causing harm within | | DAVID HOROVITZ - The Times of Israel - Attention in Israel swiftly
shifted on Tuesday from the allegations of corruption against Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his attack on the police who
recommend he be put on trial — the big, big news of the past two days
— to the launch on the northern border of a major IDF operation
neutralizing tunnels dug by Hezbollah into Israeli territory.-rh | 4/12/2018 |

Anti-tunnel operation in north kicks up coalition’s political dirt | | Marissa Newman - The Times of Israel - Israeli action in the north
fleshes out Liberman’s ostensibly straightforward reason for quitting
the post and the coalition on November 14. The former defense minister
had cited the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, calling it a
“capitulation to terror” and accusing Israel of sacrificing long-term
security in favor of short-term quiet. But according to leaks from the
high-level security cabinet on Tuesday, Liberman had clashed with the
Israel Defense Forces chief on whether the tunnel threat in the north
was deemed serious enough to hold off on a Gaza reprisal — and may
have been overruled. Hamas or Hezbollah? According to the leaks, the
upcoming plan to dismantle the Hezbollah tunnels was a consideration —
though not the primary one — in Israel’s decision to exercise
restraint in Gaza last month. “The IDF chief of staff’s position and
that of officers at the meeting was unequivocally that we must
immediately act against the tunnels in Lebanon for operational
reasons,” an unnamed security cabinet minister told Channel 10 on
Tuesday.-rh | 4/12/2018 |
