During the 5-week war with Iran, Israelis around the country ran to the nearest bomb shelter every time there was a siren -- which was often. But around 100,000 Bedouin citizens who live in "unrecognized" villages are denied bomb shelters, with horrific consequences. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/un...
Does Israel believe that weak neighbours make Israel more secure? It's easy to arrive at this conclusion, based on Israel's military actions against Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and Iran. But @dahliasc.bsky.social shows a more complex picture in this excellent analysis. newlinesmag.com/argument/doe...
Avraham (Avrum) Burg, an avatar of the Israeli left, chose “The Tucker Carlson Show,” which recently hosted a Holocaust denier, as the platform to express his opposition to the war with Iran. American Jews are appalled, writes @lisang.bsky.social .
People have lost their damned minds.
So Avrum Burg, the self-described post-Zionist leftist Israeli, a former chairperson of the Jewish Agency and former Speaker of the Knesset, went on the Tucker Carlson Show in the name of engaging with the other. I wrote a bit about that for @newlinesmag.bsky.social newlinesmag.com/running-note...

Israeli officials boasted of killing Ali Larijani today, presenting it as a triumph. In fact, they just showed once again that Israel is addicted to pointless, flashy assassinations that do not make Israelis more secure. Analysis by @origoldberg.bsky.social newlinesmag.com/running-note...
Good vibes
Read the always-smart analysis of Christian nationalism expert Sarah Posner.
I don't know anything. Sounds unlikely and conspiratorial.
OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
This made me happy.
Yes.
Ori is always good and smart
Israel doesn't have the capability to pursue a long war with Iran and the Trump isn't interested, so this will probably end in a few days. Strong analysis from Ori Goldberg for @newlinesmag.bsky.social newlinesmag.com/running-note...
That really sucks.
Three days ago we published this very insightful piece by Menahem Merhavy, who explains that Iran is not on the brink of revolution because the necessary circumstances are not in place. This war will not bring down the regime. newlinesmag.com/argument/ira...
I wish I had been in London for this.
Look for large segments of the American news media, thirsty for war news, to instantly forget that the Trump regime lies to the public all the time.
for the last time, when the government becomes the customer, the vendor, and the regulator, and pumps the product into public space, it's not a regular super monopoly and i am not being a dick about communism. that is literally where i think this is going.
The Jewish Israeli woman who loved and was loved by Palestine’s most famous poet died this week. Their romance couldn’t survive politics, but the poetry it inspired is loved by millions. My article for @newlinesmag.bsky.social: newlinesmag.com/running-note...
Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.
America deserves better.

In a Thursday conversation for The New Republic's podcast, "The Daily Blast," host Greg Sargent (a former Washington Post columnist) and author Sarah Posner examined the connection between ICE raids and far-right evangelical Christian nationalism. www.alternet.org/mike-johnson...
For International Holocaust Remembrance Day, @omerman.bsky.social wrote this moving personal essay derived from his trip to Germany in the spring, to accompany his mother, who is a child survivor of Bergen Belsen, to a ceremony marking 80 years since liberation.

Fascinating insight from @lisang.bsky.social into the intersecting socio-economic, security, & political conditions shaping labour & ownership among diverse Palestinian communities living under various forms of Israeli control

Holding up pictures of “murderers” and “rapists” doesn’t justify what ICE is doing in Minnesota.
