The silencing of an important voice
This is concerning news sent by Israeli human rights group New Profile: Dear Friends, This morning I by purely chance learned Haaretz had fired Meron Benvenisti.… I phoned him and he confirmed this, relating that Haaretz had fired him at the end of May.… His dismissal will be formally activated at the end of June,…
Defending the occupation is such fun
Following my essay in yesterday’s Haaretz, Jewish blogger Jewlicious reponds with fury: Oh, Mr. Loewenstein wants my outrage. I, as an American Jew should be outraged. Otherwise, I am a pro-Likud kinda bastard with inhumane and un-Jewish views leading Israel down a horrific alley.

Totally freezing colonies in the West Bank is doable. The political will simply isn’t there: The report in Haaretz on Tuesday whereby the U.S. administration has become convinced that it would be impossible to freeze West Bank settlement construction altogether came as a shock to Israeli peace activists. The activists quickly handed over to the…
Is this really the message Zionists want to get out?
The documentary A Case for Israel looks like a sad case of desperation. Netanyahu, Barak, Glick, Dershowitz, Sharansky. The same voices, no mention of the occupation and demonisation of the Palestinians. This kind of propaganda simply no longer works:
