  • All things Israel Gaza West Bank

    Haaretz has been unfailing in its attempt as an independent voice of inside Israeli media to describe what’s going on in Gaza/West Bank and in Israel. Critical analytic and enlightening

  • NOT FAIRLY REPORTED. THE TITLES PROVE THE BIAS

    When I read the Episode titles, I already know the result of the Interviews. That’s disappointing.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump ‘emboldened’ Netanyahu to seek a pardon: Dahlia Scheindlin on Israel’s latest political bombshell
Q: Dahlia, about a month ago, a little more, on October 13th, President Donald Trump asked Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in front of the entire Knesset when he visited in the fall in what was a surprise addition to his speech, which generated great enthusiasm among Netanyahu supporters.
Dahlia comments that the trial's political character leads Netanyahu to reinforce his position while asserting his innocence in court.
‘Settler violence is out of control': How a 'perfect storm' of IDF-backed attacks and Israel's extremist government is terrorizing the West Bank
Q: Do you see an effect of the current government on Israeli settlers' behavior?
This year, the situation on the ground is out of control. We've never seen such a peak moment of violence affecting so many communities during the harvest.
‘Settler violence is out of control': How a 'perfect storm' of IDF-backed attacks and Israel's extremist government is terrorizing the West Bank
Q: What kind of message does that send?
These women found themselves as a target in some kind of game where the enforcement of this order was very problematic, not just about how Israel treats Jewish visitors with a long relationship with the state, but about the society being created.
‘Settler violence is out of control': How a 'perfect storm' of IDF-backed attacks and Israel's extremist government is terrorizing the West Bank
Q: Can we start by talking about what happened to you on the day you were detained and the process that led to your deportation? Can you walk us through it and what it was like for you?
I had been going with Rabbis for Human Rights to the olive harvest for several weeks before the day that I was detained, and those harvest days had always been calm and smooth.
Why another, even bloodier, Israel-Iran war may be ‘just around the corner’
Q: Is this a sign of strength or a sign of weakness for Iran?
Iran is attempting to re-insert itself globally despite facing internal issues, indicating a desire for influence even while managing significant domestic challenges.
