The Telegraph By: Adrian Blomfield / 15th November 2011 / / Members of the Kadima, the principal opposition party, waved black flags to mourn the "death of democracy" after Israel's parliament, the Knesset, passed two bills that will tilt the balance of the country's Supreme Court sharply to the right. / / The legislators involved in the protest had their flags confiscated before being expelled from the Knesset's chamber at the orders of the speaker. / / The passage of the bills has prompted outrage among many Israeli politicians who see them as an assault on the independence..

JNI Editorial / JNI EDITORIAL / / / / / The week after Muammar Qadaffi's brutal death, the West -- or at least the government and media which give it expression -- are still jubilant about the events in Libya. You have to wonder exactly why. For four decades, Western leaders shook Qadaffi's hand, and Western media outlets adored him for his headline-friendly flamboyance. Meanwhile, Western governments made no serious objection to his dictatorship, and media outlets didn't even bother covering his repression of his own people or the very real and damaging role he played in many African and Middle..

The Faster Times / To paraphrase a piece of Greek mythology, it was the government that stopped a dozen or so ships. / / Greece dispatched coast guard sailors and successfully stalled Flotilla 2.0 from leaving port, an action that all but ensures that there will be no round two for the Free Gaza organizers who intended to break the Israeli blockade on the Hamas-ruled fiefdom again, a strip roughly the size of Detroit. Last year, Turkey was the host of the first aid flotilla, which after an encounter with the Israeli navy in international waters left nine activists onboard killed, including a 19-year-old..

Haaretz Editorial Staff - May 23, 2011 / / Lots of high-sounding words were uttered over the weekend. There was U.S. President Barack Obama's speech, in which he welcomed the civil revolutions in the Middle East and sketched the outlines of the best diplomatic plan to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Then came the unabashed longing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for peace on his terms. But the cascades of verbiage did not produce concord between Israel and the United States - to the point where it's hard to decide which disagreement is greater, between Israel and the Palestinians..

The Economist Israel's Jewish identity / The state we're in / Mar 17th 2011, 9:07 by D.L. | JERUSALEM / / / PERHAPS because herring was a respected staple in the Eastern European Jewish shtetl, there is no literal translation in Yiddish of the English phrase, "red herring". Instead, Yiddish-speaking Jews use the expression "climbing up the smooth walls" to accuse someone of coming up with superfluous and irrelevant arguments in order to cloud the issue. / / That expression, which has made its way into Hebrew, comes to mind whenever you hear—as you..

/ / Beth Lassiter / / / Benjamin Netanyahu has been at the helm of the Israeli government for just over a year and has made some significant decisions thus far, but has yet to make that momentous decision that will define his premiership. So far, Netanyahu’s decisions have either been ones that mitigate the damage done by his predecessors, or are the sort made out of political consideration, mostly to shore up his existing coalition or create unity coalition government. Until now, the Prime Minister has managed this juggling act but he cannot hope to do the same in his second year.. Location: Featured Articles |
New York Times / In Israel, the Noble vs. The Ugly / / Nicholas Kristoff / / / / Israel goes out of its way to display its ugliest side to the world by tearing down Palestinian homes or allowing rapacious settlers to steal Palestinian land. / / / Yet there’s also another Israel as well, one that I mightily admire. This is the democracy that tolerates a far greater range of opinions than America. It’s a citadel of civil society. And, crazily, it’s the place where some of the most courageous and effective voices on behalf of oppressed Palestinians belong to Israeli rabbis.. Location: Deconstruction |
Ariel Harkham June 18, 2010 / / / With Turkey turning toward the East and its relationship with Israel left in tatters, the question stands where does Israel turn? Morocco represents the greatest potential for political alliance for an Israel searching for a state to serve as a bridge to the Muslim world. The strategic importance of Israel having an asset such was Turkey cannot be ignored, and yet Israel’s government is today lacking an alternative policy to stave off the damage done to Israel’s geo-political position by an Islamist Turkey. Such an alternative, I believe, does exist in Morocco, where Israel.. Location: Featured Articles > Archive |

My father was then an American diplomat stationed in East Jerusalem. But when Israel, Britain, and France launched a surprise invasion of Egypt on October 29, 1956, my mother, sister, and I were evacuated to Beirut, leaving father behind to tend to the business of the..

JNI - March 24, 2010 A number of observers have pointed out that the recent so-called “crisis” between Israel and the US over Jerusalem has been artificially flavored by the Obama administration's issuing of unreasonable and, even, unhelpful demands. / / And despite the fact that the issue is relatively obscure – not touching on holy sites or on questions of future borders (as Ramat Shlomo, the neighborhood concerned in the original flap, consists of 20,000 Jews and has never been considered up-for-grabs in any final status negotiation) – and has produced no real violence, the issue is..

Ariel Harkham *This article appeared in American Thinker 14/02/10 >>> click here / / A short fifteen-minute drive outside Kerbala, Iraq, one can witness the frontlines of the clash between East and West, Islamism and progress. There, in the small town of Al-Kifl, lies -- at least at the time of this writing -- the 2,500-year-old Tomb of the Prophet Ezekiel. But for the first time in recorded history, the Tomb is threatened not by the collateral damage of war, nor the ignominies of thieves and bandits, but by a planned, government-authorized, and taxpayer-funded demolition. / / The Jerusalem Post..

JNI / The media in modern democracy is the channel between the state and the individual, and therefore has immense power. Common to all descriptions of the relationship between the media and political institutions is an implicit understanding that a deep, evolving, and uneasy relationship exists between the two. The real questions then, are the degree of influence each exerts, on whom and to what extent; as well as the present and future allocation of power in the relationship. I believe that the two institutions are so deeply intertwined that the relationship can best be described as symbiotic,.. Location: Featured Articles > Archive |

 2010 Stop Ezekiel's Tomb From Destruction / / It's time to make ourselves heard before its too late! Alarming news has been brought to the public of the Iraqi Ministry for Culture plan to build a mosque over the Tomb of Ezekiel located in Al-kifl, a town outside Karbala. This has been a revered Jewish shrine for over 2,500 years, and was under Jewish control during the Ottoman period, and was restored and protected under the Saddam Hussein regime. It is reprehensible that now under a western-patroned democracy such actions are in the planning. JNI is doing all within its power to stop this.. Location: Activism |
