The UN and NATO: Buyer beware! | | Jane Stillwater-- In 1970, Nixon bombed the hell out of Cambodia. Absolutely no good came of that. In 2003, Bush bombed the hell out of Iraq. Nothing good was accomplished there either. In 2011, Obama bombed the hell out of Libya. Another disaster as well.
And now Trump and Clinton are both claiming that if we elect either one of them to the presidency and give them a chance to bomb the hell out of Syria, Russia and Dallas, everything in America will magically become totally chill. http://johnpilger.com/articles/silencing-america-as-it-prepares-for-war

Julian Assange Triggers the First WikiLeaks Election | | Anshel Pfeffer-- When the website published nearly 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee this week, it was seen as a deliberate attempt to scupper Hillary Clinton.

Trump-Putin-Lieberman and the Axis of Evil | | Richard Silverstein —
Tikun Olam
"Lieberman is a leader cut out of the Trump-Putin mold. He is a
former bouncer from his native Moldova. A gruff, no-nonsense figure
who has no need for finesse or nuance. He says the most racist,
outrageous things and pays no price for it (sound like anyone you
know?). Once he even beat up a teenager who’d been taunting his
son. The police investigated him for assault, but he was never
convicted of any crime." ca | 29/7/2016 |

Elie Wiesel, Neve Shalom and Sheldon Adelson | | J. Zel Lurie - When Elie Wiesel first came to New York, his command
of English was sparse. At UN press conferences, he sat next to me
and I whispered a Hebrew translation. We developed a friendship of
sorts.(...) Later on, when his English improved. He remained my
friend, and I sometimes sent him my articles about the joint
Jewish-Arab village of Neve Shalom. He sent me hand-written words of
praise and said Neve Shalom was a very important enterprise. But he
never said that in public or in print. He would never say one
critical word about the Palestinians. He irrevocably embarked on the
road leading to the arms of casino king Sheldon Adelson, patron of
the Israeli and American right wing. [ak] | 26/7/2016 |

Poet on Trial: A visit to an Israeli court | | Kim Jensen -
Mondoweiss
"Of the thirteen spectators in the room, not a single person is here
to cheer on the side of the prosecution. Not a single onlooker has a
desire to see Dareen Tatour put behind bars. This absence of enemies
or antagonists in the public gallery speaks volumes about the lack
of an actual crime. The Judge, Adi Bambiliya, takes her seat and
opens the proceedings. She is a pleasant-looking woman who wears her
long blonde hair tucked casually behind her ears. Her demeanor is
amenable and responsive, and it becomes one of the great mysteries
of the afternoon: how such a reasonable-looking person could be
bothered to adjudicate such a baseless case. " ca | 22/7/2016 |

"Arabs are more present than ever in the Israeli public sphere, but

Israeli NGOs decry ‘deeply anti-democratic move’ as new law approved | | Ruth Eglash and William Booth--JERUSALEM — Internationally known human rights organizations in Israel reacted with indignation Tuesday to a controversial law passed by the Israeli parliament that singles out groups receiving the majority of their funding from foreign governments.
Leaders of the groups, who make up the core of Israel’s “peace camp” and are part of the dwindling left wing in Israel, said the law was written by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to muzzle opposition to the almost 50-year military occupation of the West Bank. dn

A Misogynist, Homophobic, Racist Chief Military Rabbi Is Probably Best Israel Can Do | | Anshel Pfeffer -
Haaretz
"It’s one of those cases of “you would have had to be there to
understand it.” Every day in hundreds of classrooms, study halls and
synagogues, rabbis, religious teachers and ordinary religious Jews
are studying and rationalizing ancient texts which say the most
horrible things. In this case Karim was explaining the reason for
the commandment in Sefer Devarim (Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the
Torah) on how a fighter in war is allowed to “take” a beautiful
female prisoner for a wife or concubine." ca | 15/7/2016 |

Hatred Unlimited | | Uri Avnery - Gush Shalom - “Reading a document like this week`s Quartet report
on the Middle East, I am amazed by their self-destructive cynicism. This
ridiculous document of the Quartet, composed of the US, Europe, Russia and the
UN, is intent on creating an equilibrium – equally blaming the conqueror and the
conquered, the oppressor and the oppressed, ignoring the occupation altogether.
Verily, a masterpiece of hypocrisy, a.k.a. diplomacy. Absent all chances for a
serious effort for peace, hatred will just grow and grow, until it engulfs us all.
Unless we take action to stem it in time” [ry] | 11/7/2016 |

Democrats, Republicans, American Jews - and the Palestinians | | Caroline Glick - Jerusalem Post - 40% of liberal Democrats now
support the Palestinians, compared with 33% for Israel - the first
time that support for Palestinians was greater among any major US
political demographic. Conversely, among moderate Democrats support
for Israel versus Palestinians stands at 53% to 19%.
(...) The Republicans made some efforts to capitalize
on this situation to gain traditionally Democrat Jewish votes - but such
efforts were so far stymied by the American Jewish leadership.
American Jewish leaders have good reasons to fear that, if forced to
choose between support of Israel and loyalty to the Democratic
Party, many Jews would choose for the latter. (Note: Caroline Glick
is well-known for her right-wing views.Ed.) [ak] | 10/7/2016 |

On the 12 Year Anniversary of the ICJ Advisory Opinion: The International Community Violates its Own Obligation | | NAD-PLO Media Brief - Some practical steps that should be taken by the international community are:
1.Contribute to the UN – Human Rights Council Database on companies involved with the Israeli colonization of Palestine.
2.Label and ban products originating from illegal settlements from international markets.
3.Recognize the State of Palestine on the 1967 border. The way for peace is justice, not impunity. By continuing to tolerate 50 years of Israeli occupation and colonization of Palestine, the international community is facilitating Israeli plans and strategies for annexation of Palestinian land.

Minister Bennett Is Lying. The Settlements Aren`t Keeping Israel Safe. | | Uri Misgav - Haaretz - Otniel is not the security zone for the Greater Tel Aviv area. If anything is true, it is the opposite: In Tel Aviv they are under attack because of Otniel and the likes. The terrorists who shot in Sarona came from the village of Yatta. The terrorist who stabbed in Netanya came from a village near Tul Karm. The terrorist who carried out the attack in Jaffa came from Qalqilyah. All in the West Bank.

Mondoweiss
"Elie Wiesel might have been the most moral man to have come out of
the Jewish people in the last thousand years, but at the same time,
he was also inarguably an enemy to the Palestinian people. That
should not be controversial. The late Israeli politician Yossi Sarid
called Wiesel an “ethnic cleanser in a prayer shawl” over his
relationship with the settlement organization Elad in East
Jerusalem." ca

Sarona is not Kiryat Arba | | Aviad Kleinberg--While terror attacks that happen in Tel Aviv are just considered a part of life in Israel, terror attacks in settlements beyond the Green Line confer special privileges upon those who live in the area. Why is this the case? dn | 8/7/2016 |

Israel’s anti-Facebook Spin Is Latest Excuse to Ignore the Occupation | | Asher Schechter -
Haaretz
"Censoring content on Facebook is unlikely to prevent terrorist
attacks, since Facebook did not invent the anger and hate that lead
to them — all it is, really, is a quicker method of distributing
hatred. Moreover, censoring it in some way could impede the war on
terror, since law enforcement agencies use it frequently for
intelligence gathering." ca | 8/7/2016 |

Quartet`s latest edition of Israel-Palestine report offers nothing new | | Akiva Eldar -
Al-Monitor
"Every report bearing the signatures of the leaders of the United
States, Russia, Europe and the UN that loses any significance over
time lends credence to the belief that whatever is not achieved by
force will be achieved by more force. Almost 200,000 settlers lived
in the West Bank at the time of the Mitchell report; today, that
number has reached 380,000. It’s time for the Quartet to present the
sides with two alternatives bearing an expiration date. The first is
the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders,
alongside a pluralistic and egalitarian Jewish state. The second is
the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over the whole of the West
Bank and Gaza Strip, along with all their residents, in the hope
that the two people will learn to live together in pluralism and
equality." ca for id

IDF Chief Abandons Hannibal Directive Which Approved Killing Captive Israeli Soldiers | | Richard Silverstein —
Tikkun Olam
"...the reasons for Hannibal are complex. But they boil down to an
almost pathological aversion to exchanged convicted Palestinian
militants for dead or living captured Israeli soldiers. For
decades, the IDF and Israeli society adopted the approach also
observed by the U.S. military: leave no man behind. So when an
Israeli was captured Israel did everything possible to free him
including negotiating prisoner exchanges.But as Israeli politics
drifted farther and farther rightward, nationalist diehards began
objecting vociferously to freeing “terrorists” with “blood on their
hands.” ca for id

Palestine’s Nakba in the Larger Arab ‘Catastrophe’ | | Ramzy Baroud - Axis of Logic - On May 15th of every year, over the past 68 years, Palestinians have commemorated their collective exile from Palestine. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine to make room for a ‘Jewish homeland’ came at a price of unrelenting violence and perpetual suffering. Palestinians refer to that enduring experience as ‘Nakba’, or ‘Catastrophe’. However, the ‘Nakba’ is not merely a Palestinian experience; it is also an Arab wound that never ceases from bleeding.

Water Wars: Israeli Water Policy in the Occupied Territories | | Lamya Hussain - This Week in Palestine - A conspicuous example of
the adverse effects of Israeli policy is the erosion of the Jordan
River, where unsustainable policies and the overuse of important
resources have helped engender a drastic reduction in water levels.
These shortages have severely impacted Palestinian farmers and
Bedouin communities, while settlers and settlements continue to be
granted far greater access to water networks and subsidies reducing
their costs of agricultural operations. An estimated 98 percent
decline in the water flow of the Jordan River has been reported over
the past four decades. These conditions have also affected the
biodiversity of the area, including continual shifts in salinity
levels of the Dead Sea, which in turn poses more serious threats to
overall groundwater resources in the region. [ak] | 5/7/2016 |

Red Rag column: Rabbinical homophobia; terror in Nice and Israel; letter to Judge Shmuel Herbst | | Gideon Spiro - Whoever wants to know what Israel is likely to look like a few years from now should cast a glance at the positions of the teachers of religious law in Iran. We are witness now to large-scale offensive by those known as the “rabbis of religious Zionism”, who, as their position strengthens within governing circles, are revealing their grim and frightening faces, from with the new Chief Military Rabbi Eyal Karim, who approves of the rape of Gentile women in war, to the head of the pre-military academy in the settlement of Eli, Rabbi Yigal Levenstein, who sees the LGBT community as sick and deviant. gm | 25/7/2016 |

This SHIT is DOPE! | | Miko Peled--It’s no wonder Straight Outta Compton didn’t win a Golden Globe or an Oscar. Why in the world would anyone want to recognize a movie about proud, fearless young Black men who are talented and successful? Especially, Black young men who came out of Compton and made it big against all odds. Young Black men who were persecuted by cops their whole lives, yet were courageous enough to look cops straight in the eye, and knowing they will be beaten and arrested, sang at the top of their voices “Fuck the Police!” No, there is no reason for the Academy to recognize, much less present an award to a movie like that. A movie like this is no more likely to receive recognition than a movie about young Palestinians throwing rocks and facing off Israeli soldiers – they are all practically terrorists.

What can be expected of the Egyptian initiative? | | Jack Moore - Newsweek - The visit of Egypt’s foreign minister to
Jerusalem, the first such visit in a decade, aroused many
speculations. In his press conference with PM Netanyahu, Foreign
Minister Shoukry stated that “The plight of the Palestinian people
becomes more arduous every day, and the dream of peace and security
moves further out of the Israeli people`s reach as long as the
conflict continues". The present moment was a “crucial and
challenging juncture for the Middle East,” and "a resolution to the
diplomatic freeze between the Israelis and Palestinians would have a
far-reaching and dramatic and positive impact on the overall
conditions of the Middle East region.” The question still
unanswered, after all these words, is whether this Egyptian move is
designed to facilitate and complement the French initiative for a
Middle East Peace Conference before the end of 2016 - or,
conversely, to derail the French initiative and replace it with
Netanyahu`s favorite format of "bilateral negotiations without
preconditions".[ak]

"More occupation means killing more Palestinian teenagers, since
