Haaretz, 07/03/2010
Greater, unified Jerusalem is being torn apart. The Israeli - Jewish and Arab - capital is becoming the capital of the hallucinatory, dangerous fanatics. This is not the city of all its residents nor the capital of all its citizens. It is a sad city that belongs to its settlers, its ultra-Orthodox, its violent residents and its messiahs.
Bit by bit, now in a piece on the "pro-Israel lobby," Andrew Sullivan works his way toward the crucial understanding of the Israel lobby’s role in nullifying American policy in Israel/Palestine. There is simply no way to explain the policy nullification, with respect to settlements, over 7 or 8 US presidencies, without talking about a special interest. And you cannot then talk about the special interest without talking about its lopsided size in the American political process.
No one in Washington – apart from a few Likudniks and Palinite end-timers – actually supports more settlements or any settlements in the West Bank. At the same time, Washington exercizes a UN veto to protect Israel from international law, funnels a vast amount of foreign and military aid to the country, helped finance the pulverization of Gaza last year, provides absurd international cover for Israel’s 150 nukes, has worked tirelessly to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear capacity, and on and on.
In return? Fuck you, Obama. To which the overwhelming response in Washington is: Obama screwed up.

Mélanger sciemment juif et israélien ou boycott d’Israël et boycott des Juifs est une infamie qui relève de la diffamation pure et simple. Faire payer le peuple palestinien pour des crimes européens est une monstruosité.
L’UJFP qui réunit des Juifs/ves régulièrement accusées d’être des traîtres ayant la haine de soi, voire des antisémites, constate que
— Au Proche-Orient, il y a un occupant et un occupé. Il y a un Etat, Israël, qui viole quotidiennement le droit international et il y a le peuple palestinien dont la dignité et les droits sont niés.
— Il y a le refus délibéré du gouvernement israélien d’évacuer les territoires conquis en 1967. Il y a une politique coloniale qui aboutit à l’annexion d’une grande partie de la Palestine, à l’emprisonnement de plus de 10000 Palestiniens, au massacre de Gaza, aux humiliations quotidiennes et aux crimes de guerre.
— Il y a les discriminations croissantes, inscrites dans les lois dont sont victimes sur tous les plans les « Palestiniens de 48 » qui sont pourtant théoriquement citoyens israéliens. Ces lois fabriquent une société d’apartheid.
Permettre et justifier la perpétuation de cette politique d’occupation, de colonisation et d’apartheid en se servant de l’antisémitisme est indécent, faux et criminel.
Israel: The Only Democracy in the Middle East?, March 8th, 2010
Last week as I drove to Ofer Military Prison in the West Bank to attend a hearing of Abdallah Abu Rahma from Bili’in, it struck me that most people driving past these huge walls on their commute to Jerusalem don’t realize they are driving past a prison. That’s actually not surprising considering the concrete landscape of the west bank.
Take the quiz for yourself and see how you do: Which of these photos is the a Military Prison in the Occupied Territories?

Top Right: Wall around Bethlehem
Bottom Right: Wall around Kalkilya
