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..

Yossi Beilin’s opinion piece “The New Ghetto” (Jerusalem Post, August 8) which compared today’s State of Israel to the Jewish ghettos of history, reminded me of the disturbing feelings I had as a small child, upon reading those verses in the Torah where the Jews, newly liberated from Egypt, cried out to return to their task-masters, for there at least, they had enjoyed meat. It was with this tragic episode I realized early on that with true freedom comes great responsibility. The Jewish sages of old interpreted this biblical scene as a lesson to mankind - that bondage, though a physical predicament..

George Eliot one of the classic Victorian authors, in her final masterpiece, Daniel Deronda tells a beautiful tale, love, duty and identity.

Author: Matt Kennard / Date of Publishing: 5th August, 2009 /   / A couple of months ago I spent a fortnight in Palestine with the International Solidarity Movement – activists who help Palestinians non-violently resist Israeli oppression. The most pressing of many issues during my stay was the attempts by an Israeli settler company, Nahalat Shimon, backed by the Israeli courts, to cleanse East Jerusalem of its Arab population, focusing its efforts at that time on the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah. /   / I spent a week sleeping on a floor in the house of the Hanoun family –..

  / / David Jones / / “The Israelis practice Nazi tactics against the Palestinian people” / / The allegations by Palestinians accusing Israel of Nazi tactics are disgraceful and slanderous. Appealing to peoples’ emotions by invoking the six million Jews pushed into ovens and gassed in chambers, and comparing that to the Palestinians’ situation is completely insulting to everyone who suffered from the Holocaust (and anyone with rational intelligence). It is a recent yet unsurprising low by the Palestinian propaganda machine, but also serves as a means of divesting..
