Only A Political Arrangement Will End The War And Return The Hostages
The national-liberal right of Menahem Begin has become a nationalistic-fascistic right and the political center has captured the place of the 'Patriotic' right. That's how the center plays into the hands of Netanyahu, who enjoys the lack of opposition and protest. The left must distance itself from what we today call center. It must declare its willingness to walk hand in hand with the peace, democracy and equality wishers, Jews and Arabs. That is worth at least 25 parliament seats.

It's Time to Awaken – Take to the Streets
The terror settlers inflict upon Palestinian communities, the bullying and force applied against protesters demanding the release of hostages - these are two sides of the same phenomenon. We must stop it, and there is only one way to do so

Summary of Events: December 29, 2024 – January 4, 2025 – Settlers Mark Holiday with Violent Raids on Shepherding Communities’ Homes
During the Hanukkah holiday, settlers from illegal outposts intensified their raids on the residential areas of shepherding communities in Ras al-’Ain and Ma`arajat. They did not hesitate to attack human rights activists who were there in order to assist residents by escorting their flocks and providing protective presence. Over the week, there were 12 incursions by settlers with herds of sheep and camels into the courtyards of village homes. During these raids, thefts of food and water purchased for Palestinian livestock were documented. Complaints filed with the police regarding herd invasions, assaults, and harassment of activists were not addressed.

The New Weapon of the Settlers – A Herd of Camels
The land robbers are escalating their activities aimed to expel Palestinian communities. Settlers, some of them are residents in illegal outposts, wish to complete cleansing C areas from their occupied residents. Their method is based on intimidating and terrorizing Palestinian shepherd communities. Additionally, they illegally erect structures on Palestinian lands and wage a public relations campaign full of lies. The army and police prefer to avert their gaze and disregard.

“It Is Time We Understood the Reality We Live In and Protect Ourselves and Our Beliefs”
In his acceptance speech of the Leibowitz prize for his years-long struggle against the occupation, Guy Hirschfeld called for all those who seek a democratic and egalitarian state “to think in terms of civil disobedience in the service of democracy; the time has come to put aside the values and ideals, partly because the other side laughs at us and sees it (with some merit) as weakness.”

A Soldier Receiving a Blatantly Illegal Order Is Obligated to Refuse It

Democracies Die Slowly but Collapse Suddenly
The “Public Protection Against Criminal Organizations Act”, passed by a majority of 32 with no opposition, is one more step in the government’s efforts to strengthen its ability to suffocate the freedom of its opponents. The arrest of Andrey Khrzhanovskiy and the harassment of the people who shot a firework in Caesarea teach us where the government is heading.

Settler's boy
He comes from the nearby illegal settlement as the older settler's messenger. The settler teaches him to be cruel - to harm: sends him on his horse to trickle between the Palestinians homes, in order to make them tire from the life at the place which the settler covets.

The Communities are Determined to Survive, and We Are Steadfast
In the past year we have deepened the protective presence among the herding communities. Against all difficulties, including violent attacks by settlers, arrests of activists and Palestinians, sheep robbery, property damage, intimidation and lies aimed at criminalizing and arresting us. Even if the occupation cannot be stopped, it is possible to make the situation less bad.

How peaceful are the meadows of the southern Palestinian Jordan Valley. How majestic and magnificent is the primeval landscape. How serene are the goats and the sheep, wandering slowly, licking the last visible roots, and the summer has not yet begun.

Thus, Thou Shalt Steal
Last week, a human rights activist stopped her car on the roadside in the northern Palestinian Jordan Valley. With her cell phone camera, for many minutes she documented a criminal act that took place in plain strong sunlight. At the middle of the day, on a main highway crossing occupied territory, a group of colonists steal the cattle of Palestinian farmers.

A Story for the Eve of a Holiday
Rabbi A. hurries down the trail to the flock of black goats gathering under the jujube tree. A warm wind blows, A. hurries on bent a bit forward, his walk shaped by endless energy and devotion. Apparently, he wishes to get to his destination before he will actually be there. He rushes and calls out to the colonist, “Please, go away”. His accent is foreign and the word “please” sounds strange in the brewing incident, but A. repeats the word and adds, “This is not your water, and not your land”.

To the Leaders of the Left-Wing Parties
Anyone, who is clear-sighted and whose worldview steers clear of messianism and populism, understands that at the root of the disaster that befell us on October 7th lies in the neglect of the supremely important Palestinian arena. The absurdity of the idea that it is possible to continue ruling over another people and at the same time manage to have a safe, liberal, modern, and thriving state has never been more evident.

The German Package
We have close friends in Germany. They are both retired Lutheran priests. She officiated for many years as head of the church in a big city. He was a priest in small communities, and lectured on theology at a teachers’ seminary most of the time. They are both second-generation Nazism survivors. Their parents were not Nazi criminals, but unfortunately they lived as German citizens during the Nazi rule. His father was a soldier captured by the Russians, and spent five years in a Soviet POW camp from which he returned broken body and soul. Her father was a physician in German army camps, and was captured by the French. He was in POW camp in France, nothing nice about that either.

Activity report - January 20, 2024
Dear friends, 100 days have passed since the Black Saturday of October 7th. Like everyone else, we too are worried sick about the hostages, are grieving with the relatives of the dead, are concerned about the future of those evacuated from the Gaza envelope and the north, and worried for the welfare of the soldiers. Notwithstanding, we are also part of a small group in the Israeli public, too small, that is aware of the occurrences on the other side of the hill, and we empathize with the pain and suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. We, therefore, call for a ceasefire, return of the hostages, government exchange and the initiation of a political peace process.

An Honor Guard in Jenin
Look at this guy marching determinedly down a street in Jenin. In proud defiance he passes by the soldiers, they no longer exist for him. Now it’s only him and his son. It’s between them. The armed soldiers, wearing all the security gear that makes them resemble robots, try to stop him, block him, and he ignores them, continuing to march straight forward. The force that moves him is right there in his arms. His dead child. Anger makes him even more erect, beating along his march towards the place where the body would be placed until buried. The body of a small dead child, considering his age – 13. Ahmad Mohammad Samer was a sick child. His parents nurtured him. There is a photo of him in a suit, including a necktie, from one of the holidays. Thin and withheld, hiding a modest joy, facing the photographer.

The Men in White Come on the Sabbath
They come in white or in startling army uniforms, but festive. With their tassels and their large Sabbath yarmulka. Yes, Sabbath. It’s their day of recreation. Not praying, not hanging out with the family, not feasting in food and drink. They devote their Jewish holy day to violent intimidation.

A short introduction: even in the past two months (the October 2023 War) alone we called the police hundreds of times in order to stop attacks by Jewish terrorists in the West Bank, and you know as well as I do that nothing came out of these calls.

In Praise of Unawareness
Sometimes I wish I could be like those whose world is clear and unequivocal. Who can see only black and white. Who know what should be done now. I wish I could say as they do: Wipe out Gaza and bring the kidnapped back. Just like that, in one breath, without noticing the contradiction…

Holding On to the Land
Two elderly Palestinian farmers live in my heart. I don’t know their names, but I do know what they feel. The first entered my heart last week after bulldozers of Smotrich’s “defense forces” took down and destroyed hundreds of olive and fig trees and vineyards in the Salfit district
