The clarity of Dani Dayan: Settler leader exposes the ethnic privilege underlying Israeli society | | David Samel - Mondoweiss - While we debate one-state versus two-state solutions, and speculate whether Israel would ever dare a large scale expulsion of millions of “ethnic undesirables,” with or without cover of war with Iran, continuation of the status quo is a short-term certainty, a medium-term likelihood, and a long-term option. [Without considerable international pressure] the status quo of occupation is unbearable only for its victims.

Israel obstructs the peace, and is paid handsomely for it | | Jonathan Cook - The National - "Europe`s only real leverage over Israel is economic: business between the two already accounts for about 60 per cent of Israeli trade, worth nearly 30 billion euros (Dh136 billion). But rather than penalising Israel for repeatedly stomping over the flimsiest prospects for a two-state solution, the EU is handsomely rewarding it. It is not alone. The United States is also showering economic benefits and military goodies on Israel, in addition to the billions of dollars in aid it hands over every year"

A Champion for the Displaced in Israel | | JODI RUDOREN--UP two steaming, dingy flights in an aging Bauhaus building here, Michael Sfard imagines that his is one of the few law firms with no parking spaces. The young lawyers and interns who toil inside dressed in T-shirts and shorts always walk or bike to work, and visitors are rare. [a correction--Rudoren states that "Bassam Aramin, the father of a 10-year-old girl killed in a 2007 protest"--she was not killed in a protest, but was killed by an Israeli soldier when walking home from school! dn] | 29/7/2012 |

Institutionalizing occupation: the ‘University’ of Ariel | | Louis Frankenthaler--In the U.S. slavery was an accepted, normal institution for the first 140 years of the country’s existence. While American universities are now trying to come to terms with their historical corroboration with slavery, Israel is just beginning to institutionalize its system of oppression through accreditation of the Ariel settlement college. dn | 29/7/2012 |

Who’s next on the hit list? | | Neri Livneh--The director of Israel Radio, Michael Miro, wants to get rid of presenter Keren Neubach, and that fact of course speaks in Neubach`s favor. She was originally taken off the Israel Broadcasting Authority`s Channel 1 on the ridiculous grounds that she was not suited to the screen. Now they have decided to make her life a misery on her highly popular morning radio show, "Seder Yom." Since they cannot use the excuse that she is not "radiogenic," the IBA has decided for the time being to "balance" her (since she is a woman she is suspected of being unbalanced hormonally ) by pairing her with a man, and not just any man, but with columnist Menachem Ben. dn | 29/7/2012 |

`Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me` - a comic artist`s disillusionment | | Nirit Anderman – Ha`aretz – "Israel’s creation was politically amazing. For centuries, Jews endured horrible suffering, and like other people deserve the right to self-determination, but the way Israel is going now frightens me. Jews make awkward colonial overlords “
In his younger age, the late American comic book writer Harvey Pekar considered going to live in Israel. Later he became increasingly disillusioned - as chronicled in his posthumously published last work. ak | 28/7/2012 |

Is Israeli annexation of Area C of the West Bank imminent? | | Mya Guarnieri - +972 - Over 15,500 Israeli citizens moved beyond the Green Line in the last year, making 2011 a record-breaking year of settlement growth. At the same time, the state is putting the Palestinians and Bedouins who live in Area C under extreme, unrelenting pressure, as exemplified by this week’s report by Haaretz that Defense Minister Barak has ordered the demolition of eight Palestinian villages to make way for IDF training. bz | 28/7/2012 |

Palestinian investments require divestment | | Sam Bahour--Nearly two decades ago, I had a dream. I thought the historic tragedy that befell the Palestinian people was about to end. As such, I refused to be an observer to the historic events that were unfolding; instead, I chose to employ my U.S. education and work experience to contribute to building a new reality on the ground -- to build an economy that could serve the new and emerging state of Palestine.dn | 28/7/2012 |

Tisha B`Av as the Jewish Nakba | | Steven Klein -
Haaretz
"It should come as no surprise then that the Palestinians too seek to preserve hope of their redemption. Just like us, they have a date. Just like us, they make maps of their destroyed villages and omit modern Jewish cities. And just like us, they justify the war that led to their own destruction and exile...to deny Palestinians, including Palestinian-Israelis, the commemoration of Nakba Day is hypocritical. We certainly did not like being told that it was forbidden to mark out commemoration days when we were the occupied. " ca | 28/7/2012 |

Israel`s crackdown on UN aid organization part of an assault on democracy | | Michael Sfard - Haaretz - The same approach that seeks to reduce the scale of civil protest against the government`s policy, the same approach of summoning activists for "discussions," of outlawing boycotts and of defunding dissenters, is the approach which seeks to control the work done by those who proffer humanitarian aid in the territories.-rh | 26/7/2012 |

Europe rewards Israel unconditionally: how does this advance peace? | | Brigitte Herremans and Deborah Casalin - Open Democracy - Europe has created dangerous expectations by reinforcing Israel’s belief that it can continue to expand settlements and effectively annex occupied territory without any real consequences. As long as European leaders do not send a strong signal - beyond statements - that violations of international humanitarian law and human rights are unacceptable, they are contributing to the degradation of the international legal order.-rh | 25/7/2012 |

Israeli human rights lawyer: Levy Report shows occupation is not temporary | | Sari Bashi - +972 Magazine - The recent government-sanctioned Levy Report on settlement outposts unmasks the comfortable lie that Israeli government lawyers have told the courts and the rest of the world for decades, namely that Israel’s presence in the West Bank is temporary and measures designating Palestinian land and natural resources for Israeli use are motivated by security concerns. ak

Re-examining the niqab | | Azmi Ashour -
Al-Ahram Weekly
"Regardless of how the investigations eventually pan out, the incident itself throws into relief a subject that has become increasingly controversial in our society in view of the fact that the niqab has come to make an appearance in a number of crimes committed these days. This phenomenon begs the question of to what extent the niqab can become a means to mislead justice or even a screen for perpetrating a crime?" ca | 20/7/2012 |

A Post ‘Arab Spring’ Palestine | | Ramzy Baroud - Countercurrents - Palestinians in Gaza, as elsewhere, still speak of Arab solidarity with passion, but also with obvious bitterness. They still pray for their brethren to come to the rescue. The older generation speaks of the bravery and sacrifices of many Arabs who fought alongside Palestinians. But the generational expectations have also been altered. Palestinians simply want real solidarity. They want to see Palestinian communities treated with respect and a complete end to Arab normalization with Israel.-rh

Syria intervention prelude to war on Iran? | | Jonathan Cook - EI - "If the West succeeds in its slow-motion, proxy intervention in Syria and disables yet another Arab state for refusing to toe its line, the stage will be set for the next war against the next target: Iran. That is not an argument condoning Assad’s continuing rule. Syrians should be left to make that decision. But it is an admonition to those who justify endless meddling in the Middle East in the service of a Western agenda. It is a caution against waging wars whose destructive power is directed chiefly at civilians. It is a warning that none of these humanitarian wars is a solution to a problem; they are only a prelude to yet more war. And it is a reminder that we have no right to play God" | 2/7/2012 |
