The most racist Knesset in Israel's history

        The most racist Knesset in Israel's history - Opinion The current Knesset appears to be the most racist in the history of the legislature. It is also the most boorish and mediocre. Scandal follows scandal, MKs vie with each other to see who will lead the assembly to its nadir. Wednesday’s pick was the new deputy interior minister, MK Yaron Mazuz (Likud,) who told his Arab colleagues “we’re doing you a favor that you’re sitting here,” and called on them to return their identity cards. The most ludicrous moment was when he told them: “ You’re in a democratic country, respect it .” The right response to these contemptible words may have been to ignore them completely. A lawmaker and deputy minister who shows this level of ignorance, lack of basic understanding o...

Akiva Eldar : Netanyahu’s real crime: plundering land for settlers

Netanyahu’s real crime: plundering land for settlers In response to the Feb. 13 police announcement of  sufficient evidence to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of bribery and breach of trust, Education Minister Naftali Bennett said, “Receiving gifts so extensively for so long does not meet the expectations of the citizenry of the State of Israel.” Polls conducted since then suggest that Bennett is wrong. According to a survey by the pollster Yossi Sarid for Reshet TV, although only 29% of Israelis surveyed believe the prime minister is innocent, more Israelis  want him to stay  in office than want him to resign or take time off, 49% versus 43% respectively. An advance copy of Bennett’s speech distributed to reporters accused Netanyahu of accepting gifts from billionaires. “This is not the way to instill values in the young generation, and this is not the way we were taught,”...

Video: a Gerusalemme Est demolizione per i Palestinesi, maggioranza demografica per gli Ebrei

Engineering a Jewish majority by driving out Palestinians. This has been Israel's policy ever since the occupation began and East Jerusalem was annexed. Israel has devised legal excuses to gradually empty East Jerusalem of Palestinians. It refuses to draft zoning plans that would allow construction. So, just to have a roof over their heads,Palestinians are forced to build without permits. The authorities then demolish their homes for being built "unlawfully." Since 2004, Israel has demolished at least 848 Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem. At least 2,960 people, including 1,596 children, have lost their homes. The threat of demolition looms over the homes of tens of thousands of others. For further details, see : https://www.btselem.org/jerusalem

Mariam Barghouti :No, non puoi essere una femminista e una sionista

sintesi personale Visualizza traduzione No, You Can’t Be a Feminist And a Zionist Zionism, as currently expressed in Palestine, contradicts feminism in its oppressive policies and the privileges it gives to a select group of people. forward.com   MI sento tradita come donna. Ho affrontato le donne soldato  da donna a donna, pensando ingenuamente che dovevamo essere uniti nella lotta contro il patriarcato. Come nota l'autrice femminista Bell Hooks, il patriarcato è un sistema completo di dominazione. La lotta femminista è contro non solo il sessismo allarmante del patriarcato, ma anche contro tutte le forme di oppressione. È un messaggio che ho assorbito attraverso gli insegnamenti di mia madre, che mi ha guidato costantemente a praticare un femminismo inclusivo .   Mi ha spesso avvertito che devo riconoscere i poteri di dominio in tutte le sue manifestazioni, anche all'interno della società pa...
