Sergio della Pergola :Perchè non condivido quanto scrive Giulio Meotti sulla demografia in Israele

-
Con grande malinconia ho letto l'articolo di Meotti sul Foglio, riportato da IC il 29.12 . E' una rassegna abbastanza completa di molte delle opinioni piu' allucinate e pazzesche che circolano oggi in Israele, che tuttavia non lascia spazio alcuno alle opinioni piu' equilibrate e sobrie che pur sempre esistono, e di fatto prevalgono amp iamente nell'opinione pubblica del paese. Pensare a Israele nei termini della Bosnia-Erzegovina, o del Libano, o perfino di Cipro significa aver rinunciato all'idea di uno stato d'Israele ebraico e democratico. Proporre il modello yugoslavo o quello libanese come esempi ideali per la soluzione di un conflitto multi-etnico offende il buon senso e assume l'aria di una provocazione. Non bisogna dare corda a queste opinioni di piccoli gruppi di estremisti, i cosiddetti 100.000 maggiormente ideologizzati, deridendo o ignorando i molti milioni di moderati, Meotti intanto sbaglia come gia' in passato i numeri. Il numero d...

While I personally… rabbibrant.com Is Zionism “settler colonialism?” It’s an important question that is increasingly invoked in public debates over Israel/Palestine – and BDS in particular. While I personally do believe Israel to be a settler colonial state, I think it’s critical to understand what we mean when we use this term, what it means in the context of Israel/Palestine, and its implications for the wider struggle against systems of oppression in the US and throughout the world. Let’s start with the definition itself. Many people use the term “settler colonialism” and “colonialism” interchangeably, but they are not in fact the same thing. Colonialism is defined by the Collins Dictionary as “t he policy and ...

Gideon Levy :The IDF and Shin Bet, where falsehood is the faith and evil is conscience

-
The IDF and Shin Bet, where falsehood is the faith and evil is conscience haaretz.com Look who’s talking, and about what: The chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces and the head of the Shin Bet security service are talking about “morals” and “ethics.” It’s like a slaughterhouse boss who dares to talk about animal rights, a prison warden who talks about freedom or the CEO of a cigarette company who talks about health. It briefly seemed as if Israel had finally woken up to hold a real debate on this summer’s war in the Gaza Strip. After all, Chief of Staff Benny Gantz wrote in his letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a “moral and ethical fault” and about the Shin Bet’s having “crossed all moral and ethical lines.” But this sanctimonious poesy was of course devoted to the ridiculous pissing contest over the Gaza war between Gantz and Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen, two manly men. A generals’ war always erupts when it becomes clear that the v...
