Bet on popular resistanceRasem Obeidat - AIC - Netanyahu`s plan is to legitimize and further root the occupation in exchange for improving the daily life conditions of Palestinians under its control. The message was transmitted to the PA`s Minister of Civil Affairs, Hussein al Sheikh, that the PA should desist from international moves to isolate Israel regionally and internationally – they will not succeed, and Israel is able to militarily invade and take control of the West Bank in a matter of hours.
This was a threat to which the Palestinian political parties, including Hamas, did not publicly react. [bz]

One sentence that explains the breakdown in US-Israel relationsMax Fisher - Vox World - It is Israel’s policy of continued settlement in the West Bank—settlement that endangers the two-state solution, and therefore Israel’s future as a democracy and as a haven for the Jewish people—that puts daylight between Jerusalem and Washington, not a president who calls Israel out for its settlement policy.

War Crimes? Us??? Uri Avnery - Gush Shalom - “War itself is a crime. There are few exceptions. […] This being so, the concept of ‘war crimes’ is dubious. The biggest crime is starting the war in the first place. This is not the business of soldiers, but of political leaders. Yet they are rarely indicted” [ry]29/6/2015

Is BDS Replacing Iran as Israel’s Blackmail Card? Alan Hart--Netanyahu has stated that BDS “is anti-Semitic at its core” and his deputy foreign minister, Tzipi Hotovely, has called it “a tactic of diplomatic terrorism” and “an existential threat to Israel”. A good response to this Zionist propaganda nonsense was contained in a letter from Allan C. Brownfeld of the American Council for Judaism which was published, somewhat to my surprise, by The Washington Post. dn 28/6/2015

Canadian aboriginal activist stands up to IsraelAntonia Zerbisias--Robert Lovelace is still haunted by the Palestinian refugees in the grainy newsreels he saw as a boy. Not surprising.

How the right-wing already won Israel`s culture warAsher Schechter--A great war is being fought in Israel. This time, though, the battle is not between Israelis and Palestinians. For once, it’s about art and culture, with Israel’s artists pitted against the government over the latter’s threats to end state funding for so-called “anti-Zionist” art. In other words, art that doesn’t conform with the worldview of the Israeli right. dn28/6/2015

Israel`s PR gaffes expose its racist atmosphereRachel Shabi - Al Jazeera - Such incidents, part of a wider campaign of public diplomacy, have made Israel look like a strangely disconnected, self-serving echo-chamber. While the government perceives its hasbara efforts to be helping the nation ride high on a wave of righteousness, the sad reality is that the country is increasingly isolated and adrift, cast away on a wave of its own delusion.

Red Rag: Settlers speak - Correspondence with Amos Oz - Dr. Ilana Dayan, queen of Galei TzahalGideon Spiro to Amos Oz in 1986: `An inextricable part of the corruption I spoke of above is the new language that was created in Israel after the Occupation began. One could call it Colonial Hebrew. Its creators tried to bypass all the ugliness and injustice that accompany the Occupation by using terms that convert the twisted to straight and the ugly to beautiful. Accordingly, official Hebrew does not recognize the term “Occupied Territories” but the pastoral and Biblical term “Judea and Samaria”, which instructs that these are ancient territories that were promised to us and have belonged to us since that Divine promise.`24/6/2015
Lessons from the UN Gaza report: Next stop, ICC?Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man - +972 - The UN report notes a number of significant shortfalls in Israel’s systems for investigating its own military. Israel’s Military Advocate General, for instance, faces significant conflicts of interest when deciding when to investigate and prosecute soldiers: the same IDF lawyers that advise soldiers and officers on the legality of their actions in combat are later asked to judge whether their conduct was legal. Secondly, the report notes that war crimes themselves do not exist in Israeli law, making their prosecution understandably difficult. Thirdly, the concept of command responsibility does not exist in Israeli military law, meaning that lowly soldiers are most often those who face consequences for seemingly isolated acts. And lastly, the rates of investigations, indictment and conviction into alleged war crimes are very low. [bz] 23/6/2015

Michael Oren`s baseless anti-Obama articlesNachum Barnea - Ynet - For some reason, the Americans also expected an apology from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Problem with BDSYacov Ben Efrat--BDSThe specter of BDS is haunting Israel.

Netanyahu refuses to apologize for ex-ambassador’s criticism of ObamaWilliam Booth--JERUSALEM — If there was any lingering doubt that President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are estranged, now comes fresh evidence the two leaders and their proxies are engaged in a remarkably nasty, seriously personal tit-for-tat about who did whom wrong over the past six years. dn21/6/2015

Win for Academic Freedom: Steven Salaita Awarded Back-to-back Victories against University that Fired HimThe Palestine Chronicle--Nearly a year ago Steven Salaita was fired for posting some tweets that were considered by some to be beyond the pale of proper academic discourse; the context for many of these tweets was the ongoing, devastating attack on Gaza by Israel. What makes this case especially interesting, and what the recent court decision and a critical vote by the largest confederation of U.S. professors in the country shows, is the undue and improper interference of wealthy donors on the internal affairs of public educational institutions. dn21/6/2015

Isratin or Palestrael? Uri Avnery - 66 years ago, when we, a tiny group, raised the banner of the Two-State Solution, it was clear to us that the two states, living close together in one small country, must live in close cooperation. Borders must be open for the movement of people and goods, the economies closely intertwined. Some kind of federation is inevitable. [bz]20/6/2015

Artists` rights and theaters` duty A. B. Yehoshua - Ynet - The fact that the culture minister decided to take revenge against the children`s theater run by Norman Issa in Jaffa just because he refused to perform in front of settlers in the Jordan Valley shows us that it`s not the actual refusal which led to the decision. There is a refusal she accepts from an ideological perspective and maybe even welcomes, and there is a refusal she punishes for from an ideological perspective. And this is something she has no legal authority to do, and that`s what the protest was about. [bz]20/6/2015

West has not learned lesson of Holocaust refugeesGershom Gorenberg--Our government takes foreign dignitaries to tour Yad Vashem, but it does not understand the writing on the wall there. It does not need to tell esteemed visitors, "Feel guilty for what you failed to do then," or rather, it does not need to say only that. It needs to say, "Do not pay people to send boats back or to close borders." Our government needs to say, "Grant refuge," and to hear the message itself. dn20/6/2015

How Michael Oren sold out U.S.-Israel ties to sell a few more booksBarak Ravid - Ha`aretz "Obama and his staff haven’t enjoyed reading what Oren wrote. Nevertheless, they understood that any response would merely give him more exposure, so they initially decided to gulp down some ice water and restrain themselves. But when Oren published an op-ed under his own name in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, under the headline “How Obama Abandoned Israel,” not all the ice in the White House kitchen was enough to cool their fury...Senior Israeli officials who have been involved in relations with Washington for the past six years raised an eyebrow at many parts of Oren’s op-ed. Off the record, they agreed with the claim by senior Obama administration officials that Oren was left out of the loop on most bilateral diplomatic activity. " ca19/6/2015

Sheldon Adelson`s anti-BDS summit is doomed because he offers no alternative to occupationBenjy Cannon - Haaretz " if American Jewish leaders want to succeed, there is a truth they must confront: Convincing liberal college students to reject BDS requires recognizing the occupation and touting the promise of a more just and democratic Israel. If they are serious about defeating BDS, American Jewish leaders must forfeit Adelson`s money for the sake of engaging in honest conversations that generate positive results.

Israel, Republicans push Palestinians into cornerAkiva Eldar - Al-Monitor "...the Palestinians recognized Israel within the 1967 borders and pledged to stop their armed struggle.
