| No, democracies don`t have `cultural loyalty` laws | | Edna Harel-Fisher - Times of Israel Blogs - Culture Minister Miri
Regev¡¦s press conference yesterday, where she angrily lashed out at
Finance Minister Kahlon and recently resigned Defence Minister
Lieberman, marked the hopeful death of the "Culture Loyalty" bill,
at least for the time being. The bill seeks to grant the minister
holding the culture and arts portfolio the authority to censor
culture in Israel, and to make funding to cultural institutions
contingent on the content of their activities, based on the
minister¡¦s sole personal judgement - ostensibly in order to "defend
the state¡¦s values and symbols". The increasing disintegration of
Netanyahu`s ruling coalition and the principled position taken by a
handful of a few surviving right-wing liberals has for the time
being gotten this idea off the agenda - though it may well be
revived at some later time. [ak]

Among other things, the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have been firing heavy barrages of dozens (at times over 50) of rockets within less than 10 minutes. There were two such barrages so far, on Monday afternoon and overnight.
The objective was to make the IDF quickly go through all of the interceptor missiles that can be fired without recharging, so some rockets could get through the cracks. [bz]

| Israel lawmakers to debate death penalty for Palestinian `terrorists` | | AFP/Middle East Eye - Israel`s parliament will renew debate next
week on a bill that would make it easier to sentence Palestinian
attackers to death, Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said. The
bill, which passed a preliminary vote by the full parliament in
January, would ease the requirements military courts in the occupied
West Bank must meet to sentence Palestinians convicted of
"terrorist" crimes to death. As the law stands now, a panel of three
military judges must unanimously approve any death penalty in
military courts. The new bill, planned by members of Lieberman`s
Yisrael Beitenu party at his behest, would change the requirement to
a majority instead of unanimity. "Death Penalty to Terrorists" had
been one of the planks of Lieberman`s elections campaign in 2015.
Lieberman`s rival on the extreme right, Education Minister Bennet,
had been accusing Lieberman of "taking tough but acting softly".
With new elections coming near, Lieberman feels obliged to make a
show of toughness, and for the same reason PM Netanyahu now supports
the death penalty bill. [ak]

"When I traveled to Morocco last year, I was escorted from the

airport official “thank you, but I am not Jewish,” he responded, “it
does not matter.” In 2013, I applied for a visa to conduct research
in Egypt. The application has been pending ever since. I did not
really know what happened until recently when my Egyptian friend,
whose address I had used on the application, finally told me that
Egyptian intelligence officers had come to her house and questioned
her about her relationship with “this Israeli student,” even though
I wrote my name in Arabic on the application. My Israeli passport
trumped my Palestinian heritage." ca
