Lapid: Antisemitism is similar to the slave trade and the Hutu massacres of Tutsis Jeremy Sharon - The Jerusalem Post - Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said on Wednesday that antisemitism was part of a broad family of hatreds, and that antisemites start by attacking Jews but “always” move on to focus their hate and violence on other groups as well. He asserted that antisemitism was akin to other hatreds in such as ones held by those who participated in the slave trade, the Hutu massacres of Tutsis in Rwanda, and Islamist extremists. “Antisemitism isn’t the first name of hate, it’s the family name,” the foreign minister asserted. He went on to relate what he heard from his father father, Tommy Lapid, who had been thirteen years old in Nazi-occupied Hungary and who both at the time itself and later gave much thought to "how could a person become so full of hate, prejudice and venom that he might want to kill a 13-year old boy."

`The home of an entire family should not be demolished for the actions of one individual`Jacob Magid - Times of Israel - “As we stated numerous times, the home of an entire family should not be demolished for the actions of one individual." The US was “following” reports of the demolition of the home lived in by the reportedly estranged wife of Muntasir Shalabi and their children. "We believe it is critical for all parties to refrain from unilateral steps that exacerbate tensions and undercut efforts to advance a negotiated two-state solution, this certainly includes the punitive demolition of Palestinian homes." This is the first public American criticism of an act taken by the new Israeli government which was installed after the demise of the long standing PM Netanyhau.[ak]10/7/2021

High Court rejects petitions against Nation-State LawJerusalem Post - Justice George Karra was of the minority opinion, saying that some parts of the law challenge Israel`s democratic nature. Karra said that the law ignoring Arab and Druze citizens of Israel harms the principle of equality that is not explicitly established in the law. The Nation-State Law was heavily criticized for delineating Jewish national rights and symbols including the importance of “Jewish settlement,” but without any language guaranteeing the equality of all citizens, especially minorities. Advocates of the bill argued, however, that equality for all citizens is legislated in Israel’s Basic Law: human dignity and freedom, while there had been no previous laws delineating Israel’s Jewish character.[bz]8/7/2021

Former Meretz leader: Don’t vote for reunification lawTimes of Israel - Former Meretz leader Zehava Gal-On calls on the faction’s current lawmakers to oppose extending the Palestinian family reunification law. “Meretz petitioned [the Supreme Court] twice against this racist law,” Gal-On tells Army Radio. “There cannot be a compromise here. Any compromise is a capitulation.” [bz]8/7/2021

Labour Party tries to intimidate The Electronic IntifadaAli Abunimah - Electronic Intifada - Britain’s Labour Party tried to pressure The Electronic Intifada to alter an article we published last week with an apparent legal threat. The 25 June article article by Asa Winstanley reveals that two Labour officers banned a local party branch from debating a motion calling for sanctions on Israel. It shows that Kim Bolton, chair of Hove and Portslade Constituency Labour Party, on the south coast of England, and Labour South East organizer Scott Horner, decided that discussing the motion “would undermine the party’s ability to provide a safe and welcoming space” for Jewish members. Bolton also concluded that a debate on sanctions against Israel may lead to “anti-Semitic behavior.” [bz]3/7/2021

Palestinians` rage grows — against their own governing authorityDW - The Israeli-occupied West Bank is no stranger to political upheaval. But in the past week, Palestinian protesters have directed rising anger against their own government, the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited self-rule in parts of the territory. Hundreds took to the streets in several towns over the past weekend to protest the violent death in Palestinian custody of Nizar Banat, a well-known critic of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority.It`s the culmination of long- simmering anger against an authority many Palestinians feel is out of touch.
