Israel seems to ignore everybody including the men bringing the aid
God help the Middle East when the US offers some pathetic responses. Scott McConnell reports for Mondoweiss: Just had a Jerusalem meeting with a US government official.

The new frontier; private firms making money in apartheid West Bank

Hands up who believes anything the JPost says about occupation?
The recent Australian, Zionist junket to Israel – get a bunch of gullible journalists and politicians to swoon over glorious Israeli democracy – included a talk from a senior editor who couldn’t even admit the colonies are illegal under international law (nobody accepts their legitimacy).

Perhaps Tel Aviv looks at Tehran and would like advice how to block “offensive” websites: Internet sites of political organizations, both left-wing and right-wing,…
Israel embraces fascism and where is the Zionist Diaspora?
One: Just hours after the Knesset approved a motion calling for a parliamentary investigation into the activity of B’Tselem, Yesh Din, Breaking the Silence and other groups, National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari referred to members of the leftist organizations as “traitors who must be persecuted at any cost.” Speaking at an SOS Israel conference in…
