From Ian: Young Anti-Zionist Jews Claim to Speak For My Generation. They Don’t. It’s Time We Called Them On It. “If six million people were walking around saying that they were ‘chosen,’ you would want to kill them, too.” A few months ago, I was shocked to hear these words from a fellow Brown University student.

Avner Inbar is the Co-Chair and Co-Founder of Molad, a Jerusalem-based progressive think tank. Of course he wants peace with Palestinians.

The attitude of Israelis to African “infiltrators” or “asylum seekers” or “refugees” – what you call them is indicative of how you feel about them – is a manifestation of a broad cultural divide in our society.

Here's today's, where he pretends to debunk Netanyahus' warningd of Iran using Syria and Lebanon as springboards to attack Israel. : First of all, Iran has not vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Rather, Iran has a no...

08/30 Links Pt2: J Street Rewrites History to Create ‘Palestine’; Did the Mossad hack Linda Sarsour's phone?

From Ian: J Street Rewrites History to Create ‘Palestine’ The US government’s reluctance to demand the immediate creation of a Palestinian state has sent J Street into a panic. With its candidates having been defeated in elections on both sides of the ocean, and its proposals crumbling in the face of reality, J Street is trying one last desperate strategy: rewriting history...

"Has Israel finally won the war and defeated the Palestinian dream? Read our cover story," said the tweet with a gif of an Arab child in an empty doorframe looking like Jesus on the cross, whom, after all, the Arabs claim as a native son.
