מכל התגובות הבוקר, הטייק הכי דוחה הוא ההאשמות בגוש ״השינוי״ נגד האזרחים הערבים שבחוצפתם לא הצביעו למפלגות יהודיות… אשכרה נתנו לכם ניצחון ואתם גזענים מדי לקחת אותו

What motivated Palestinian citizens to vote in record numbers yesterday, sending the highest-ever number of Palestinian representatives to the Knesset? The answer is found in a single word, explains Rida Abu Rass. https://t.co/QweMZml3UG

[New Lines Magazine @newlinesmag]

NEW: Israel’s election results are clear: The only way the opposition bloc headed by Gadi Eisenkot can form a governing coalition is by aligning with Palestinian parties. Rida Abu Rass explains why Israel saw historic Palestinian turnout, for @newlinesmag. https://t.co/eXQkZJ1pnJ

Two prescient pieces on the Israeli election:

Palestinian citizens of Israel face considerable discrimination, but some, like Haifa-born Yousef Haddad, have chosen to identify with the state and its system. The loyalty is not often reciprocated, writes @lisang in @newlinesmag. https://t.co/KfmDLwDXHv

1001 journos asked me "can Israelis from abroad tip the balance," & to each one I replied that we don't have satisfactory data. Now, finally, some cool data. For example: 74K more Israelis in the country now than "a regular day in Oct" - & more. https://t.co/Yqxqqyy7b8

[Lisa Goldman @lisang]

About 20% of Israeli citizens are Palestinians. In many ways they play an outsized role in Israeli society, but they also face significant discrimination by law and in everyday encounters. This is the subject of my latest article. https://t.co/WFMFEntQIA

[Lisa Goldman @lisang]

Opposition leaders have said they won’t ally with an Arab party, though polls show this is their only sure path to victory over Netanyahu. Mansour Abbas thinks he can change their minds. Excellent analysis by political scientist Rida Abu Rass. https://t.co/6ZlWaz3HNo

A century ago, a French school in Damascus bet on nonconfessional, coeducational, bilingual learning. Its recent decision to separate boys and girls has Syrians asking what that wager still means.

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

The Prime Minister’s Office:

The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.

Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.

But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.

The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.

We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.

The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

[Neri Zilber @NeriZilber]

Heidi Levine, an American photographer for the Washington Post, was beaten by Israeli settlers in the West Bank today while covering an olive harvest by Palestinians. She’s now in a Ramallah hospital. This happens every day on the West Bank. Every single day.

Palestinians attacked, journalists attacked, Israeli & foreign observers attacked. When is the IDF going to start taking this seriously? And where is the US embassy & Trump administration?

[Dahlia Scheindlin @dahliasc]

Facts known: 50 very fine people on that side, charged & beat the shit out of a woman w a press vest and cameras.They kicked her while she was down maybe 50 times. I can translate the statement below if you don't speak the language. It says: go right ahead.

In one of our current top reads, @lisang reviews two films that are unsparing in their depiction of Israeli attitudes toward the war: the documentary film “NAZA” and the satirical drama “Yes!”, both by Israeli directors.

[Hassan I. Hassan @hxhassan]

The documentary film “NAZA” and the satirical drama “Yes!,” both by Israeli directors, hold up mirrors to Israeli society that most find too difficult to see, writes @lisang in @newlinesmag. https://t.co/Ae8VOD3B46

[Lisa Goldman @lisang]

I wrote about the films NAZA and Nadav Lapid's Yes! and the reactions in Israel. https://t.co/Jd0C1r2oDB
