Israel violating a ceasefire deal as a mob of Israeli settlers attack an American journalist and Palestinian grandma & an Israeli soccer match has to be cancelled because of violent fans is all the worse when you remember the deal calls to "de-radicalize" Palestinians and not Israelis

The only excuse Lois Lane has for why her interviewing Superman isn't unethical, despite their romantic entanglement, is that it would be even more unethical for the paper's other top reporter, who is Superman, to interview himself, yet she cannot say this. This dilemma should be taught in J-school.

As Israel breaks the ceasefire with air strikes on Gaza, its F35 fighter jets are being kept in the air through parts shipped from Williamtown NSW, and made in Bendigo Vic and numerous other locations. We say it again, there must be a two-way arms embargo on Israel.

The most liberal approach to the Palestinian question from any mainstream Israeli party is that of South African Bantustans, which would actually be a major improvement over the current situation.

Oftentimes I see people cite Yair Lapid as evidence of a meaningful opposition to Netanyahu. Here is Yair Lapid's vision of peace in his own words last year.

Then, here is what Netanyahu said in 2018.

Compare them.

A power advantage in our favor, that creates two political entities that are not equal in power, or in value. One is a demilitarized Palestinian state, that is small and dependent on us, and [the other is] a strong Israel”

“A potential solution is one in which the Palestinians have all the powers to govern themselves but none of the powers to threaten us,” he said. “West of the Jordan, Israel and Israel alone will be responsible for security… It’s not just a question of hot pursuit. It’s also having the ability to be there all the time.”

“It is what it is. You can give it any name you want: state-minus, autonomy-plus, autonomy plus-plus … We’re not going to imperil the life of the state [of Israel], you know, for a label or a good op-ed.”

If one side is firing on the other, that is not a test of the ceasefire, that is a violation. For the love of all things holy, stop running cover for a genocidal state

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide
