Smotrich was not invited to the Israel Day Parade in New York. He crashed it. He should have stayed away. His extremist views do harm to the US-Israel relationship.
Palestine was in no way a desert, nor were its people primitive nomads. While these illusions were propagated to make the Zionist project more palatable to Jews in Europe and beyond, Zionist thinkers were well aware that there was an indigenous population.

Israel had long targeted medical staff because it’s a very useful way to indirectly pursue genocide. Each doctor who dies will lead to the death of many others who he could not treat and save. The destruction of hospitals and staff has likely killed far more people than bombs.
Yes, I remember it well. It was occupation but it was civilised and we all knew it was temporary. Until the horrible 1987 intifada. Things were going to be resolved. Then the intifada came, then Oslo and the empowerment of extremists on both sides
This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.
But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.
A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.
They were practicing their shooting on children.
Why the fuck is the blame only confined to Itamar Ben-Gvir"? He is just saying things out loud, explicitly.
The problem is systemic, inherent to an exclusionary system that MUST regard Palestinians (& others) as nonhumans. It is a necessary part of the system.
Such a ceasefire would render Gantz’s thirst for land dispossession and ethnic cleansing unquenchable. His modus operandi is terrorism and is incapable of maneuvering life in any other nature.
אסור בשום פנים ואופן לקבל את הפסקת הלחימה בלבנון כחלק מהסכם עם איראן. אי אפשר לקבל מצב שבו דווקא כשהציבור הלבנוני מתחיל להפנים שחיזבאללה פוגע בו - מדינת ישראל תאפשר להפוך אותו למגן לבנון.
הכפרים בדרום לבנון שוכנים מאות מטרים ממטולה, משלומי וממשגב עם - ולישראל יש חובה להגן על תושביה ללא תלות באף גורם חיצוני.
השלמה עם הפסקת הלחימה בלבנון כחלק מהסכם עם איראן תהיה טעות אסטרטגית שנשלם עליה שנים קדימה.
זה בדיוק המקרה שבו ישראל צריכה להגיד לארה״ב - לא.
Kristof deserves no credit for this; this is how he and the NYT continue their clean up job of manufacturing the case for genocide. Not only did he spend much of the past two years spreading pro-genocide propaganda - even urging us to consider why the Israelis would want to kill everyone - but he even slips in here the still unproven Israeli claim that women were raped on Oct 7.
Imagine sharing a piece in which you share actual testimonies from Palestinians about the sexual violence they’ve experienced at the hands of their occupiers, their genocidaires, and you still propagate a pro-genocide claim without any evidence.
