9-3-2013 'Room 514': Israeli Film Looks at Gender, Justice, Sexuality & the Occupation - Mira Sucharov Open Zion

http://www.thedailybeast.com/openzion.html Thanks to Netflix, viewers outside of Israel can catch a glimpse of a compelling 2012 Israeli film that premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. A “triumph of low-budget filmmaking,” as Variety calls it , Room 514 is a cinéma-vérité-style meditation on psychology, morality, identity and politics.

Though Israel's campaign to restrict water access has yet to make the news, rights organizations are pushing the Palestinian Authority to take the issue to court, so the matter could well make headlines in the coming months. While the PA has been debating whether or not to accede to the International Criminal Court, increasing documentation of war crimes may push their hand. Posted by Sam Bryan, AIME member

https://mondoweiss.net/2020/07/biden-was-willing-to-compromise-with-sanders-on-climate-change-and-immigration- not-israel/ The Democratic Party leadership was willing to compromise with Bernie Sanders on climate change, the green new deal, medicare for all, immigration, criminal justice. But not on Israel. Mark Mellman, president of the Israel lobby group Democratic Majority for Israel [connected to AIPAC] and a longtime Democratic Party insider, indicated that the Biden forces refused to set up a joint task force with Sanders on foreign policy/Israel this spring, even as they were willing to negotiate other policy differences, because the leadership won't budge on that question.
