Trump Republican Supremacists

By |

One of the most intriguing questions about this election is why the Republican establishment supports Donald Trump. Not why the masses of white Americans do it, this is pretty obvious. Settlers want the new lands for themselves – they build a new society, culture, and State for themselves. They displace, dispossess, and kill, if necessary, local inhabitants, and when they need workers they encourage immigration, sometimes forced, like the African slaves. Their problem is “demography,” when migrants become the majority and “take” their country.

What Is the New Israeliness?

The teenagers and twentysomethings who were barely old enough to light funeral candles after Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination in 1995 are now doing what today’s adults were unable to do back then: creating a new Israeli identity capable of living in peace with itself.

Lev Grinberg on An Appropriate International Response to the Israel/Palestine situation after Netanyahu’s Visit to the US in May 2011

By |

I must admit that before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in Washington, I wasn’t sure whether the Palestinian idea of submitting a UN resolution on recognition is defensible. My grounds were simple: just like Obama, I thought this would not lead to the establishment of a Palestinian State, because the Israeli government is expected to reject  the resolution. However, it is precisely Israel’s unilateral position and unwillingness to evacuate the territories which have made a UN resolution so necessary. Netanyahu argues that Israel is not an occupier, and that “Judaea and Samaria” belong to it by virtue of the Jewish nation’s historical attachment to these territories. In that he disregards the military occupation of the Territories and all Israeli steps taken since: the robbery of Palestinian lands, denial of civil and human rights, prevention of economic development and severe restrictions on population movement.
