I was happy to hear that got booed when went to see Hamilton. But now at Sleep No More? Is this guy a budding theater buff? I guess he thought he might find some respite at a retelling of Macbeth (insider joke for those who know about his wife). Of course he’s a horrifying war criminal and a sleaze bag. Beyond…

MY go-to is... “Wow!”

The third film based off

God forbid anyone be seen as choosingto be in a homosexual relationship!

I can vouch for Emirates, It’s definitely the best airline I’ve ever flown. Turkish, in the last five or so years, has improved immeasurably—it’s pretty decent now. Notwithstanding some of the lovely and helpful people that work for it, Delta is probably the worst in my opinion, followed by Air France.

Agreed, it certainly would.

Fair enough, I appreciate that we’re probably on the same side of things. I just think it’s better to call things as they are rather than treating the situation with kid gloves and through euphemisms. It seems to me that increasingly people, especially younger (and many of them Jewish), are tired of how difficult it…

The Palestinian population of the occupied territories were not the aggressors in 1967 or 73, and in any case the unilateral annexation of land conquered through war is prohibited by the UN charter. Your claim of “you start a war and lose your land” is exactly what the UN charter prohibits. As for the status of the…

Nothing to sell, everyone knows what “stolen” means. It’s when one person/concern takes something that doesn’t belong to them. The settlements are built on land that is not the property of either the Israeli state or its citizens, and which was expropriated illegally by any understanding of either international or…

Where does she say that she’s against the occupation? I missed it.

No. It refers to the original indigenous inhabitants of Palestine.

They are Palestinians.

And by alternatives I mean get out of politics and become an activist against apartheid/occupation. As an example of that I’d cite the former Labor MK and Speaker of the Knesset, Avram Burg. After rising in the party he had a political awakening and couldn’t stomach remaining in politics and now is a very unsparing…

Not sure I follow your logic here; I’m supposed to champion a politician who represents a political party that advocates for apartheid (not my term, one that is now fairly common in Israeli political discourse) just because there are no “viable” other parties? Sorry, no can do—clearly the entire political class in…

She should quit Labor if she truly is opposed to the occupation. There are alternatives.

And you’re right, ‘religious’ includes not only the Hasidim, but also the religious-nationalists. But the funny thing is that Labor has practically done nothing to rein them in when in power. Practical support for all manner of settlements (regardless of positioning in “peace” talks) has been a matter of political…

At risk of being tautological, my friend: secular settlements are settlements. All of them are on stolen land.

Most Jews don’t live in Israel.

The vast vast majority of settlements in the West Bank are not organized by religious organizations and only a small percentage of settlers are “religious” (in the sense of being Hasidim/Ultra-orthodox). The major settlement blocs are suburban places with “secular” residents. Settlements were vastly expanded under…

Who is talking about Jews? I thought this piece was about Israelis.
