Hours before he took off to Washington for talks with the US administration on peace and settlements, Israeli Army Minister, Ehud Barak, approved the construction of a new settlement in the so-called Benyamin region.
The approval came as part of a deal with the settlers who were evacuated from the illegal Migron settlement outpost.
The settlers would move into a new settlement of 250 houses after they evacuate their outpost built on privately owned Palestinian land.
Migron is (...)

Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua
18 January 2009, by Gideon LevyDear Bulli,
Thank you for your frank letter and kind words. You wrote it was written from a "position of respect," and I, too, deeply respect your wonderful literary works. But, unfortunately, I have a lot less respect for your current political position. It is as if the mighty, including you, have succumbed to a great and terrible conflagration that has consumed any remnant of a moral backbone. You, too, esteemed author, have fallen prey to the wretched wave that has inundated, (...) -
Fear Not
19 August 2010, by Israel Shamir1. Crying Wolf
So many people have circulated so many warnings of the forthcoming US-Israeli attack on Iran that it is hard to ignore them. A piece written by a few ex-spooks warning of a new round of war is one of these messages. In our view, spooks, ex or not, are not the most reliable people, and the CIA is not the best reference. However, this item fits with the dire predictions and accompanying Israeli U-boats to the shores of Iran. Rumours of Israeli advance forces being placed in (...) -
Birth of a settlement
22 May 2009, by Joseph Dana, Mairav ZonszeinHilltop 26 is the name of an illegal settlement outpost atop a tranquil, windswept hill just outside Kiryat Arba, in the southern West Bank. From its top, one can see the red roofs of the Jewish settlement to the south and, in the distance, the outskirts of the holy city of Hebron. Over the past two months, adolescent settlers from Kiryat Arba have built a structure atop Hilltop 26 that they use as a clubhouse for eating, studying and hanging out. Although Hilltop 26 was dismantled in (...)

Israël, le sionisme et l’antisémitisme
7 mai 2009, par Oren Medicks"En tant qu’Israélien, concerné par son pays, je crois que l’avenir d’Israël dépend de notre capacité à promouvoir une paix juste et durable avec nos voisins, d’abord et principalement avec le peuple Palestinien.
Étant donné les inégalités énormes qui distinguent, dans tous les domaines, les deux sociétés, Israélienne et Palestinienne, seule une intervention efficace en provenance de l’extérieur peut empêcher Israël de continuer sa politique oppressive envers les Palestiniens.

De la propagande : entretiens avec David Barsamian - Fayard 2002
12 avril 2007, par Noam ChomskyQue répondez-vous à ceux qui, entendant votre critique d’Israël et de son recours à une force excessive, vous demandent : et la Syrie ? Pourquoi ne parlez-vous pas de la Libye ou de l’Irak ? La situation n’y est-elle pas infiniment pire ?
Bien sûr. J’ai parlé du Pakistan à l’instant. Ces pays sont bien pires. J’en conviens. Je ne critique pas vraiment. Je me contente de citer Human Rights Watch et Amnesty International. Ces commentaires sont très prudents. Je m’en tiendrais à leur point (...) -
Israeli plan for settlement building angers US
5 September 2009, by Steven GutkinIsrael said Friday it will construct hundreds of new housing units in West Bank settlements before any slowdown in building, an announcement that drew harsh criticism from Washington, which demands a complete settlement freeze as a prelude to renewing Mideast peace talks.
Israeli officials painted the move as a concession to the U.S. demand because it might bring a temporary halt to other construction. But since it would also mean building the new units and finishing some 2,500 others (...) -
Israel’s Righteous Fury and its Victims in Gaza
9 January 2009, by Ilan PappeMy visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice — even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a (...)

A racist Jewish state
19 April 2009Every day the Knesset has the option of passing laws that will advance Israel as a democratic Jewish state or turn it into a racist Jewish state. There is a very thin line between the two. This week, the line was crossed. If the Knesset legal counselor did not consider the bill entitled "the Jewish National Fund Law" as sufficiently racist to keep it off the agenda, it is hard to imagine what legislation she will consider racist.
In 1995 the Supreme Court rescued the state from callously (...) -
Israeli Economy for Beginners
14 August 2011, by Gilad AtzmonWe learn from the press and political analysts that, against all odds and in spite of the global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy is booming. Some even suggest that Israel is one of the strongest economies around.
‘How come?’ you may ask; besides maybe avocado, oranges, and some Dead Sea beauty products, none of us has actually ever seen an Israeli product on the shelves. They don’t make cars; nor do they make electric or electronic appliances, and they hardly manufacture any (...)
