Could the widespread protests against Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul change the status quo in the West Bank? By Isaac Chotiner | New Yorker | August 15, 2023 In January, shortly after Benjamin Netanyahu swore in Israel’s new government, I spoke by phone with Raja Shehadeh, the Palestinian lawyer and activist who co-founded the human-rights organization Al-Haq. Shehadeh was concerned about many of the extremists who had joined Netanyahu’s coalition, but he also predicted that the government’s impact was likely to register more strongly among Israelis than Palestinians, who have been living under occupation for decades....

Credit: Amir Levy / Getty By Jonathan Kuttab | FOSNA website | June 6, 2023 The current crisis within Zionism and the Israeli state is merely the logical extension of long-held policies and that it is impossible for the result to have been other than what we are witnessing today. When the current right-wing Israeli government was formed, I wrote that this was predictable, inevitable, and irreversible....

Civil resistance against the government has put the Israeli military in an unparalleled crisis, presenting an opportunity for those fighting apartheid. By Shimri Zameret | +972 Magazine | Mar 5, 2023 Internal army chat groups are reportedly flooded with rank-and-file soldiers stating they either refuse or will refuse to serve if the judicial coup succeeds.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich published a shocking plan in 2017 to advance Israeli apartheid.

Smotrich wants to do away with this: Drop the pretensions and say it like it is – that it’s a state of Jewish supremacy from the river to the sea, and that Palestinians need to accept it officially, or leave, or die....
