An email I received today: Antony Lowensetein, keep up the great work, promoting dishonest, exaggerated, anti-Israel garbage and promoting anti-semitism and anti-Israel hate! And great job ignoring what is done to Israel that causes the need for Israel to be so defensive, you’re fooling some people quite nicely! Your friend, Adolf Hitler

Another day in the life of the West Bank
A report on Mondoweiss: Joseph Dana from Ibn Ezra sent us the following: I just shot and edited a video (see below) of what happen today in Safa in the southern West Bank. Ta’ayush went with about thirty Israeli and international peace activists to help the… farmers… of Safa work their land. As soon as we arrived…

Israel’s beating heart emerges: A new vegan bar opened last week in Tel Aviv that bans Israel Defense Forces soldiers in uniform and boycotts products made in West Bank settlements.

Sadly, one is…
Only Jews who praise Israel allowed
The Australian Jewish News conducts a vox-pop and asks, “What would you say to Jews who don’t believe Israel should exist?” The responses prove my point; blind and unthinking nationalism defines the mainstream Jewish community.

As I write in my book The Blogging Revolution, new technology doesn’t on its own…
A democracy that shines for Jews
The Electronic Intifada reports on the petty lengths to which Israel will go to harass Palestinians in and around Jerusalem: Israel is currently using provisions in the lengthy documents of the Oslo accords as the legal basis for intensifying efforts to suppress activities in Jerusalem that the state says are linked to the Palestinian Authority…
