A number of Israeli filmmakers have bravely turned the camera on their own society, revealing dark truths about their state and its history

Tel Aviv police refused to allow a silent vigil for World Children’s Day saying the event could “cause serious harm to public security.” Police have used this same rationale to attack and detain peaceful protesters around the country.

The powerful lobby and allied groups have poured money into defeating candidates who voice any criticism of Israel. Amid calls for a cease-fire in Israel’s war on Gaza, they’re back at it again.

Ayah Sha’ban was among 14 of her martyred family members in Gaza City. She was presumed dead and wrapped in a white shroud, but a security guard at Al-Shifa’ noticed her breathing and saved her. She still doesn’t know about her family’s fate.

The holocaust now visited on Palestine by U.S./Israel is unique in many ways. Rates of killing and maiming exceed those of previous Israeli assaults on Gaza, the perpetrators announce their genocidal intent with unusual frankness, and Western media and official apologists are especially shameless.

Israeli bombs rained down on the Jabalia Refugee Camp in northern Gaza on Halloween, leveling housing units and killing and wounding hundreds of Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Racism should not be thought of as a matter of personal feeling or opinion, but of an exploitative system that is hundreds of years old.

Ukraine at the limits.

In most major media accounts of settler terror against Palestinians, Israeli settler-vigilantes invariably escape critical categorization beyond the moniker of “extremist.”  Portrayals of these perpetrators of violence invariably focus on the theme of fanaticism while presenting these figures as unsavory if misguided fringe elements in Israeli society.  Such characterizations are naïve and incomplete.
