Oh and the few times this government almost collapsed was either unrelated to its treatment of Palestinians (mostly around the military drafts for Ultra Orthodox men) or because Netanyahu's line on Gaza was considered too SOFT by its coalition partners.

Israel's next elections are set for October 27.
This means that the Netanyahu government, portrayed by liberal Zionists as "extremist" and unrepresentative of Israel, will be the first government in 50 years to finish its entire term.
It doesn't get more representative than that.

I know it's old news but the radicalization of Israeli society remains shocking to me, perhaps because I see it from up close.
Growing up, never in a million years would anyone call the West Bank "Judea and Samaria". Now my *secular* relatives in Israel exclusively say Judea and Samaria, and even call out anyone who uses a different name for it.

Reminder that the idea of a boycott targeting *only* Israeli settlements in the West Bank makes no sense.
The Israeli government subsidizes the development of settlements & collects taxes on economic activity there, and Israeli society as a whole benefits from the ethnic cleansing.
The boycott must be against all of Israel.

New rule: anyone who says "Israel has a right to exist" must explain what that means. A right to exist as an ethno-nationalist Jewish state? Or as a democratic state for all its citizens? Or as a binational federation? Or as something else?
"Israel has a right to exist" is just lazy and unhelpful.

“Gaza is also ours. We’re just letting them stay there as guests until a certain point, but Gaza is ours.”
Not exactly surprising, coming from an overt Jewish supremacist, but it's always better for them to say these things openly and explicitly so nobody can pretend we didn't know.

Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the Israeli public intellectual, said in a speech in 1980:
"The corruption of occupation does not stop with the occupiers - it also deforms the lives of the occupied Some may even be driven to acts of terrorism. I cannot bring myself to moral outrage over this fact, because such resistance is a natural consequence of colonial rule. Occupation breeds rebellion; rebellion breeds terrorism; terrorism provokes counter-terrorism; and the cycle continues.

There were two murderers at Bondi Beach. In Gaza, an entire country and army are behind the massacres. At least 36 people, 18 of them children, died in May's strike on a school in Beit Hanoun. There were many other massacres like that one, including during the "cease-fire" in which hundreds of innocent Gazans have already been killed.

An imaginary same fate of an Australian rabbi and an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip is used as a weapon against Israel's bitter critics: Look at us, how pitiful we are, the whole world is against us and slaughtering us.
Above all is the cloud of the double standard: The massacre of 15 people on a Sydney beach is able to blur the horrifically large massacres in Gaza.

The comic relief came in the form of the Australian-Syrian hero who saved the Jews. Netanyahu even tried to talk about the "Jewish heroism," until the embarrassing information came in about the identity of Ahmed al-Ahmed, and for a moment, all the claims that all Muslims and Arabs in the world are guilty of innate murder were silenced.

Israel never misses an opportunity to generate political and propaganda capital from every terrorist attack. Hints about Mossad warnings that Australia allegedly ignored were also immediately circulated. The Australians do not know how and do not want to fight terrorism. Just look at us; there are no terrorist attacks here at all.

Settlers just attacked the village of Al-Mughayir, in the northern West Bank. In the attack, one of the settlers shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian man, Saeed Murad Al-Nassan.
All the settlers were wearing white, in honor of the Jewish holiday.

The military prosecutor accuses me of inciting the protesters to throw stones at the soldiers. This is not true. What incites protesters to throw stones is the sound of bullets, the Occupation’s bulldozers as they destroy the land, the smell of teargas and the smoke coming from burnt houses. I did not incite anyone to throw stones, but I am not responsible for the security of your soldiers who invade my village and attack my people with all the weapons of death and the equipment of terror.

Despite claiming to be the only democracy in the Middle East you are trying me under military laws which lack any legitimacy; laws that are enacted by authorities that I have not elected and do not represent me.
I am accused of organizing peaceful civil demonstrations that have no military aspects and are legal under international law.

2025-09-22 01:53:58 CEST

- reply

I organized these peaceful demonstrations in order to defend our land and our people. I do not know if my actions violate your Occupation laws.
As far as I am concerned, these laws do not apply to me and are devoid of meaning. Having been enacted by Occupation authorities, I reject them and cannot recognize their validity.

2025-09-22 01:53:58 CEST

International law guarantees the right of occupied people to resist Occupation. In practicing my right, I have called for and organized peaceful popular demonstrations against the Occupation, settler attacks and the theft of more than half of the land of my village, Nabi Saleh, where the graves of my ancestors have lain since time immemorial.

Suffering and oppression did not fill my heart with hatred for anyone, nor did they kindle feelings of revenge. To the contrary, they reinforced my belief in peace and national standing as an adequate response to the inhumanity of Occupation.

During my imprisonment, I was paralyzed as a result of torture by your investigators. My wife was detained, my children were wounded, my land was stolen by settlers, and now my house is slated for demolition.
I was born at the same time as the Occupation and have been living under its inherent inhumanity, inequality, racism and lack of freedom ever since. Yet, despite all this, my belief in human values and the need for peace in this land have never been shaken.

Israel will stop caring about appearances, about looking democratic, about telling the West what it wants to hear so that they can be left alone. Colonization and ethnic cleansing are a higher priority than foreign support, as we are already seeing.

If they don't care today, they will when they face higher prices because of trade sanctions, when they can't travel freely because of visa restrictions, when Israeli startups can't raise funds, when they lose hundreds of million in European research subsidies, when they can't participate in cultural, sporting, or academic events.
This conflict will only end when the cost of occupation outweighs its benefits for most Israelis.
