This certainly had Netanyahu's blessing. The masks are completely off.

Israeli security forces are legally obliged to protect the occupied Palestinian population against Settler terrorism. Instead, they're detaining unarmed volunteers, including @bradlander, trying to step in to offer what the army and police won't. jpost.com/israel-news/articl…

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

"Almost no one in the Israeli opposition ... talks about peace" either. "The disappearance of peace from our language is not merely semantic... When we stop saying a word or no longer write songs about it, then we stop imagining it as part of our future."

I was happy to organize, and hope folks can tune in to, this webinar that will look not only at the voting options next week, but also at what it means to be 'left' in Israel today and how the left might reorient/reorganize itself in future election cycles. Registration link 👇.

On visiting Lifta, the Palestinian village on the outskirts of Jlem abandoned during the Nakba, Abby writes: "There's a unique opportunity in Lifta to see this history; to imagine what was and reckon with the present. And to not is to turn away from what's right in front of you."
