- So What if We Killed Hundreds of Civilians?
The operation was aimed at the rockets and those who fired them (full article…)
- “Moderate” Zionism
Tzipi Livni, another so-called centrist, holds similar discriminatory views. On January 23, 2002, she urged members of the Knesset to reject an equal-protection clause according to which equality is the right of every citizen in the state regardless of his or her nationality, religion, or views. The proposed bill was rejected, and formal equality remains [...]
- This is the Israeli Left
We must not be led astray in this election campaign and consider both Livni and Barak as moderates, in contrast to the “extremist” Netanyahu. This is a deception. Kadima and Labor, the center and left-wing parties, have led Israel to two awful wars within two years. Netanyahu has yet to go to war once. True, [...]
- Is Peace Out of Reach?
This short documentary by CBS is by far, one of the most honest and brave television broadcasts to come out of the United States about the conflict.
- Israel’s Leaders Are Not Simply War Criminals; They Are Fools
The Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni asserts that her Government will have no dealings with Hamas, because they are terrorists. Tzipi Livni’s father was Eitan Livni, chief operations officer of the terrorist Irgun Zvai Leumi, who organised the blowing-up of the King David hotel in Jerusalem, in which 91 victims were killed, including four Jews. [...]
- Slaughter (in Self Defense)
In the case of Israel, the self-image of its leading politicians is far more crazed and split than such common-sense reminders can hope to remedy. Tzipi Livni says in 2009 that the assault was necessary, that it is going according to design, that there is no humanitarian crisis, and that the invasion will be good [...]
- This is the Israeli Left
“I am not going to negotiate with Hamas and don’t need them to sign anything for me. What they said is meaningless. This is what is called deterrence: they know that the next time they attack us, they will be harmed,” the foreign minister told Israeli radio stations. (more…) They also know that when they [...]
- This is the American Media
[Newsweek:] It must have been a difficult decision to send Israeli troops into Gaza by land. [Tzipi Livni:] Yes, it was a very difficult decision, but right now it looks good. (more…)
- Safa Joudeh: What I Witnessed Today in Gaza
It was just before noon when I heard the first explosion. I rushed to my window, barely did I get there and look out when I was pushed back by the force and air pressure of another explosion. For a few moments I didn’t understand, then I realized that Israeli promises of a wide-scale offensive [...]
- Who’s the Toughest War Criminal?
In the run-up to the election, observed Michael Warschawski, a founder of the Alternative Information Center in Jerusalem, “all Israeli leaders are competing over who is the toughest and who is ready to kill more.” (more…)
- Israeli Generosity
Israel proposed to annex 6.8 percent of the West Bank and take in 5,000 Palestinian refugees, the chief Palestinian negotiator said Friday, speaking for the first time in detail about the yearlong U.S.-backed negotiations that failed to produce an agreement. (more…) This is how Israel negotiates—by announcing which of their illegal settlements they plan on [...]
- Between Racists & Ultra-Nationalist Fascists
Three polls released since the Likud primary all point to an emerging trend: the Likud, even with Moshe Feiglin – maybe precisely because of Feiglin – is increasing its lead over Kadima. Kadima is slipping, even as Labor rises. (more…)
- Livni’s Plan to Further Rid Israel of Arabs
“When the Palestinian state is created, I will be able to go to Palestinians citizens – who we call Israeli Arabs – and say to them: You are residents with equal rights, but your national solution is in another place,” Livni was quoted by Army Radio as saying to students at a Tel Aviv high [...]
-
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has called for an end to restraint; Vice Premier Haim Ramon contends that the Hamas government in Gaza must be brought down, and that this can happen even without a major military operation. Defense Minister Ehud Barak preaches “good judgment and responsibility.” (more…) Of course Barak’s idea of “good judgment and [...]

“A [military] response is important; even if it doesn’t automatically end the Palestinian rocket fire, there is something important in the impression, and Israel’s deterrence ability,” she said during a conference in Tel Aviv. (more…)
- Uri Avnery: Likud Rising
Two documents appeared side by side in Haaretz last week, on November 21: a giant advertisement from the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and the results of a public opinion poll.The proximity was accidental, but to the point. The PLO ad sets out the details of the 2002 Saudi peace offer, decorated with the colorful flags [...]
