The changes made this week by Israel's Security Cabinet seem colorless, but "to understand Israel's big-picture policy regarding Palestinians, the administrative bureaucracy matters more than the big headlines about violent settlers," observes @dahliasc.bsky.social. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
"If [the logo] opens a critical conversation about Palestinian statehood in Israel – it's about time," columnist @dahliasc.bsky.social wrote in Haaretz today: "Maybe one day, some Israeli leader will give different answers" that those of the present prime minister. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
Analysis by @dahliasc.bsky.social in @haaretzcom.bsky.social: "This government and its closest allies have been more explicit & open about their aim to own all of Mandate Palestine...Israel's leaders aren't trying to fudge this – they're shouting it from the rooftops" www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
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.

The Moral Depravity of 'Why Aren't They Demonstrating for Iran?'

The great @dahliasc.bsky.social did just that (checked the polls, that is) and concludes that Netanyahu is gaslighting the public: Contrary to Bib's claims, a consistent 2-1 majority backs an independent Supreme Court justice-led commission of inquiry for October 7. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
"The prime minister is trying to convince the Israeli public that they don't want an independent state commission of inquiry to investigate the events of October 7, when all polls show that they do" writes @dahliasc.bsky.social on @haaretzcom.bsky.social

How Israel's 'hasbara paradigm' collapsed in Gaza

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...
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/...
“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.”
“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.”

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.

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.

“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
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...
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.
www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
“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.”
Must-read piece by @dahliasc.bsky.social.
Hello, I'm just seeing this. I wouldn't know but if you contact the author, he might answer & explain. It was a fairly recent survey so even if that is the intention, it would have been too soon to appear in an academic journal - these take much longer for peer review/publication.
"The poll is a messenger, not a provocateur; the findings are an emergency wake-up call that things can still get much worse."

In a new CI report, fellow @dahliasc.bsky.social argues that the economic inequity at the heart of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict must be addressed as part of any long-term plan for peace and reconstruction. (5/6)
Policymakers seeking an Israeli–Palestinian political agreement must develop an economic vision focused on reducing inequalities to undergird any solution intended to last. Read more from @dahliasc.bsky.social tcf.org/content/repo... (6/6)
