Ammunition Against the Nation State Law: What Adalah Missed
Adalah is challenging the Nation State Law in Israel’s Supreme Court, claiming that the law is racist. The legal minds behind the petition claim that: There is no [other] constitution in the world today containing a clause that determines that the state belongs to one ethnic group or that a given state is exclusive to […]
Double Standards for Knesset MKs: Jews Out, Arabs In
I love how Arab leaders, such as our very own Ahmed Tibi, promote martyrdom for other people’s children. But first, let us look at who the courts forbade from running in the upcoming elections as they let these hate mongers continue to run for office. Two Jewish candidates for the Knesset have been banned from […]
So you think this is collective punishment?
Israel is constantly being blamed by so-called pro-Palestinians of engaging in collective punishments against the Arab residents of the so-called “Occupied Palestinian Territories”. Here are just two examples of that canard: Collective punishment – cowardly Israeli Occupation Force’s pirates attacking, stealing, killing, vandalizing Palestinian fishers off the coast of #Gaza #Palestine @UAWC1986 pic.twitter.com/uycVrB6CSQ — Freedom […]
Finally! Academic Article That Does Not Blame Israel for Violation of Women`s Rights in PA
Is this going to be a new trend in academic research in the Palestinian Authority? First published online on 30 July 2019, this is different from everything else I have read examining problems in the so-called occupied territories. This article (or at least the abstract) does not even mention the word, occupation. Or Israel. Entitled […]
How Does Israel Violate Women’s Rights in the PA?
The latest UN Resolution declares that the so-called Israeli Occupation of Palestine is an obstacle to Palestinian women’s rights. I actually read the resolution; I wonder how many people did. Let me tell you what I found in the resolution and how it corresponds (or does not) to reality on the ground. First, the document […]
EVERYONE is Making Trauma Worse for Philippine Kids in Israel
A few days ago, Kian’s classmates (one of the Philippine children scheduled for deportation this summer) demonstrated in front of the airport detention center in which he was being held. They shouted out against the deportation with cries of: “I am an Israeli child. Do not deport me.” From the interviews with his classmates, it […]
What Happened The Night God Promised To Make Abraham a Great Nation?
And why I am not upset with the dwindling American Jewish population… Is it heresy for me to say that? To say that the loss of Jews within the greater American population does not give me sleepless nights? I do not worry about the intermarriage rate. I do not worry about the Diaspora Jews (mostly […]
Takah Killing Stirs the Pot – Racism Floats to the Surface
I am forced to admit to a very unpleasant truth. The exact circumstances of Solomon Takah’s killing matter only to the determination of justice and guilt in that particular instance. It does not matter, in the overall picture of things, that Takah was outside his house when he should have been home as he was […]
Israel Denial: Doing Something Positive to Fight Academic Lies
A new book has just been published. Israel Denial seeks to take the rug out from beneath the feet of scholars pushing vilification of Israel and promoting discrimination against Israeli institutions by discriminating against Israeli faculty and students. This is an important book for those who want to be equipped with fighting what is called […]
“Naila and the Intifada”: Who is Afraid of Naila Ayesh?
This is my original version of an op-ed that was first published in Israel National News on 18.6.2019 with editorial comments added. * * * * * * * * * * I had no idea what I was walking into when I parked my car on the street near Al-Midan Theatre in Haifa and […]
