Israel calls its latest military campaign Operation Break the Wave, a lyrical description of a brutal reality.

Following the UNGA resolution, Israel announced withholding of USD 39 million of Palestinian money, which is likely to cause further suffering and impact basic services delivery in the occupied territories.

Apart from imposing travel restrictions on Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki, Israel has confiscated USD 39 million from the body which will be transferred to the ‘victims of terrorism’ fund for Israeli citizens.

Jewish Power now has dozens of ways to inflame Palestinians into all-out confrontation. A third intifada has never felt closer.

Following a recent visit, JAN O’MALLEY reports on the tactics of constant obstruction, harassment and persecution, from tear-gassing nurseries to arbitrary checkpoints and night raids, used to drive Palestinians from their land.

The definition of Israel as an Apartheid State by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch is a maturation of a long process of framing and reframing the Palestine issue.

The harrowing video capturing the Israeli border police officer shooting a Palestinian in Huwwara has circulated widely on social media and sparked outrage among Palestinians.

The collapse of the “Zionist Left” during Israel’s most recent elections leaves Hadash and the Communist Party as the only force able to stand against the rise of ultra-nationalism.

Zionism destroys everything in its path. It has corrupted every major American Jewish organization. And Netanyahu’s return allows American Jews to acknowledge this.

The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly, 152 to 5, to tell the Israeli apartheid regime to get rid of its nuclear weapons, which are illegal under international law.

The Israeli military installed an automatic weapon at a heavily-trafficked checkpoint in the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil in September.

In tracking Israel’s arrest of Palestinian children, from the moment these (often) young teens are seized from their homes to the moment they arrive at an interrogation facility, Ha Moked registers a consistent pattern.

The Israel lobby just led an attack on Rashida Tlaib to stop any criticism of Israeli colonization of Palestinian land. What else can it do?

The NATO-backed Atlantic Council has proposed apartheid Israel as a blueprint for a hyper-militarized Ukraine. The paper was authored by Obama’s former ambassador to Tel Aviv, now an Israeli spy-tech consultant.

UN official Mary Lawlor calls Israeli attacks on Palestinian human rights organizations an “atrocity.” “It’s as simple as that,” Lawlor tells Mondoweiss, “Israel does not want human rights defenders documenting and publicizing the attacks and injustice done to the Palestinians. So, this is their tactic.”

September 16 marks the 40th anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the killing of around 3,000 Palestinians at the hands of Lebanon’s Phalangist militias operating under the command of the Israeli army.

The joke of a U.S. report claims that it can’t judge “Israel”, because it does not have conclusive evidence of who fired the bullet, yet somehow claims to know the intent of the one responsible, without even knowing who that is.

The right to intimacy serves as both a realm of domination as well as a form of resistance under Israeli settler-colonialism.

Israel’s supporters are crowing that the Gaza attack was successful, but these advocates have blinded themselves to the moral dimension of such awful force.

The Gaza attack has heightened Israel’s right-wing political tilt as it approaches its next election.
