"A close read," writes @dahliasc.bsky.social, "reveals that the aim of [these expressions of concern] is to name-check 'we said something,' in order to avoid 'we did something' – in order to keep Israel's whole annexation and expulsion program going." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Thank you!

Netanyahu claims that victory over Iran would bring peace to Israel. He should look closer to home | Dahlia Scheindlin As Israelis grow weary of sheltering from missile attacks, their prime minister is using the war to distract from the Palestinian issue, says political analyst Dahlia Scheindlin

The crux of the matter.

No outcome in #Iran will give #Israel peace or peace of mind until it faces #Palestinians right here at home, as a people and a nation, with all that entails.

To be truly meaningful, the kernels of Jewish-Arab solidarity recently displayed in Sakhnin and Tel Aviv must be nurtured over the months ahead, certainly in order to replace the current Bibi/Ben-Gvir government and its policies, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social.

As the ceasefire agreement went into effect between Israel and Hamas, PWH asked Penn experts to provide their thoughts of the ceasefire plan, if they thought the plan was likely to last, & what the next steps are to achieving peace between Israel and Hamas. perryworldhouse.upenn.edu/news-and-ins...

Why the pro-Palestinian left is wrong to reject Trump's Gaza peace plan U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point Plan to End Israel's War in Gaza Shouldn't Be Misconstrued as an All-encompassing Peace Plan, Because It's Not. It's a Cease-fire Deal, and the Only Other Option...

It's right to fear that the Palestinians will be sold out, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social - but that's "not inevitable ... If [the ceasefire plan] is all we have, take [it], end the war now, then do everything possible to advance genuine peace" not provided by it. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Israel’s Emerging Occupation Consensus Despite misgivings about Netanyahu’s Gaza plans, most Israelis support his approach to the Palestinians.

“Like their current leaders, the large majority of Israeli Jews do not empathize with the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza,” writes @dahliasc.bsky.social. “The hardening of views about Palestinians reflects longer-term trends in Israeli society.”

Israel’s Emerging Occupation Consensus Despite Misgivings About Netanyahu’s Gaza Plans, Most Israelis Support His Approach to the Palestinians

“when it comes to Israeli intransigence regarding Palestinians, the prime minister alone is not the problem. The problem is Israeli society, politics, and culture as it has evolved over decades.”

What Israelis and Palestinians can learn from Bosnia The Dayton accords had many shortcomings but peace has largely held for 30 years in the wake of genocide

The 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the war in #Bosnia offers important lessons for #Israel-Palestine, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social. Yes, while generally blasted by media, Bosnia & its inter-ethnic relations are one of biggest post-war successes of the last 50 yrs.

Israel’s Emerging Occupation Consensus Despite misgivings about Netanyahu’s Gaza plans, most Israelis support his approach to the Palestinians.

This piece, by @dahliasc.bsky.social, gives a very good and accurate overview of how right wing Israeli public opinion has become over the past decade, and why Netanyahu is not an outlier. These are my takeaways - and differences.

Israel's Emerging Occupation Consensus Despite misgivings about Netanyahu's Gaza plans, most Israelis support his approach to the Palestinians.

“Removing Netanyahu from power might well help bring an end to the unfolding disaster in Gaza,” writes ‪@dahliasc.bsky.social‬. “But it is unlikely to fundamentally reorient Israeli policies toward the Palestinians.”

Thank you, dear

Israel’s Emerging Occupation Consensus Despite misgivings about Netanyahu’s Gaza plans, most Israelis support his approach to the Palestinians.

Always read @dahliasc.bsky.social: “Removing Netanyahu from power…is unlikely to fundamentally reorient Israeli policies toward the Palestinians or to present a true alternative to the…policies of…suppressing Palestinian self-determination.” www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/israe...

Is it important to call Israel's carnage in Gaza 'genocide'? ***

Please read: @dahliasc.bsky.social on the furious, distracting debate on use of the term ‘genocide’ for the Netanyahu govt's actions in Gaza. Terminology battles become ends in themselves. Description of what's happening is more effective. Stopping it is what matters.

Concentration camp, illegal orders and war crimes: Israel's madmen have a grim new plan ***

“Israel's recently unveiled plan—to force 600,000 displaced Palestinians into a ‘humanitarian city’ to be established on a strip of land where Rafah once stood—raises critical, and chilling, questions about the Netanyahu government’s intentions for Gaza.”
