Dr Yaacov Ben-Shemesh, law professor at Ono Academic College, is one example of an Israeli whose views began to change before Oct 7th, and perhaps one can say that after the Simchat Torah atrocities, he now more clearly aligns himself with the “disenchanted.” Matan Hasidim interviewed him recently on the podcast series in which he…
Perhaps coincident with growing Israeli-Greek cooperation in various domains, the Greek government arrested 28 students at the Athens Law School on May 14, and is set to deport nine of these who are non-Greek Europeans, as reported in Greek City Times. It is a move celebrated by hundreds of thousands of social media audiences. What…
What happened in the UN while Israel was reeling with the shock of the Oct 7 atrocities committed by Hamas and either joined by, or merely cheered on by, Gazan civilians? I will be generous and say that the whole world was reeling from the images that Hamas proudly released to the virtual space that…
I bring you a video of a demonstration in Toronto that tops everything I have seen until now. It took place on Saturday, May 25th somewhere in the University of Toronto vicinity. The video popped up in my “X” feed. It was posted by Leviathan, an “X” account whose owner follows radical and antisemitic activities…
Like many others, I shared a video of Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan carrying a card saying, “The Butcher of Iran will not be missed.” Perhaps part of the reason the video did not arouse my suspicion is because I agreed with the act, I believed Erdan the kind of person who would…
You know her — the one who was dragged by the hair from the back of a jeep to the back seat. Hear her talk at a Hands of Peace event. * * * * * This is Ayala Levy Shahar, mother of 19-year-old Naama Levy, one of the hostages in the video released yesterday….
Facebook provided no option for me to appeal their decision. If you tell me my post does violate community standards, I will accept the decision without further fuss. * * * * * I love how FB claims to remove only those items that threaten the community’s basic rights to respect and safety. (Read the…
I find it instructive to see what people posted on their social media before Oct 7th and just after Oct 7th. I decided to look at Facebook posts for speakers at this year’s conjoint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony, a project of Combatants for Peace and the Family Circle. I vehemently object to events such as…
Journalist Amit Segal brings us a video clip in which Battalion 221, now fighting in central Gaza, shows the rest of the country how to honour our nation in this most difficult Independence Day ever. We owe it to them to rise above politics, to rise above worry and fear and to celebrate Independence Day….
War-time-scrambled-Waze put my location somewhere in Beirut. But that is not what made my drive from Kibbutz Lohamei Hageta’ot back home to Haifa yesterday difficult. After all, I had driven those roads for years and needed no help getting around. What made the trip home hard was because my head was filled with the unpleasantries…
