The Never-Ending Nakbah
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective Today, millions of people around the world observed Nakbah Day, which commemorates the loss of much of Arab Palestine to the Zionists in 1947-1948, and the attendant catastrophes. The responsibility for the loss of Palestine is shared by almost all the players of the day; the UN, which decided on partition, the Zionists, who
Stop It Right Now!
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective (I wrote the below eight hours ago, way before the bus bombing. I will say something about that tomorrow. The only intelligent thing to say is: this is what happens when you have idiots running the show.) I don't care who started it; the deadly escalation between Hamas and Israel has to stop right now. It is immaterial to me
Abu Ala’s Generous Offer – and Tzipi Livni’s Refusal to Make a Counter-Offer
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective The leaks of the Palestine Papers, now being published by Al-Jazeera and the Guardian, are important on many levels and for many reasons. But after reading some of the documents, what strikes me most is the tone of condescension in the Israeli negotiators, up to Tzipi Livni – condescension, sarcasm, and the feeling of having
When Self-Abuse Becomes “Delegitimization”
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective In a recent, and soon to be much-quoted article in the New York Review of Books, Robert Malley and Hussein Agha offer their typically dismal prognosis for an Israel-Palestine just peace. Their bottom line, literally, is "It won't get better anytime soon." I agree with their analysis up to a point. But one point with which I
The Two IDF’s
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective Here's an imaginary dialogue (well, not so imaginary…Yossi Gurvitz actually had some of it) between a serious reporter and the IDF Spokesperson's Office. -- What, according to the IDF, caused the death of Jawahir Abu Rahmah from Bil'in? -- The matter is still under investigation. -- Wait a minute; today is January 20. Yester
Jewish Self-Interest and Jewish Morality
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective Jeffrey Goldberg believes that the Jewish settlement in Sheikh Jarrah is "not necessarily" in the best Jewish self-interest. Why not? Because peace is important, and without a Palestinian East Jerusalem, there will be no Palestinian state, and hence, no possibility of peace. Israel will either cease to be a Jewish state (thr
The Magnes Zionist: Jonathan Pollak’s Speech Before the Israeli Court That Sentenced Him to Jail for Unlawful Assembly
Jonathan Pollak’s Speech Before the Israeli Court That Sentenced Him to Jail for Unlawful Assembly Jonathan Pollak was convicted and sentenced to three months in jail yesterday – for riding a bicycle in a demonstration that he did not organize, nor was anybody else arrested. Why Pollak, then? Because he is a leading Israeli Jewish activist in the fight against the Separation Barrier; because he pr
Breaking the Silence Publishes the Most Important Book of the Year on Israel/Palestine
