We need to redefine Israeli politics. No more left and right, liberal or conservative, religious versus secular. Instead: a new partnership of Arabs and Jews, working side-by-side to combat Jewish supremacism….

10-30-2013 Israel's Weapons Industry, Arms Trade and Military and Surveillance Co-operation with the European Union – Shir Hever (economic researcher at Alternate Information Center) ePalestine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeDFEoKEi8Y The European Union is Israel's most important trading partner. An increasingly important part of that trade is in goods and services of the defense and homeland security industries. These have become a pillar of Israel's economy, and also play a big role in a number of EU countries. Israel touts its "battle-proven" technologies such as electronics and drones used in surveillance and assassinations, as well as the expertise and equipment it uses to repress popular resistance activities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In Europe, France and the United Kingdom are among the world's premier arms exporters -- including to Israel. Germany and Italy are also significant in this respect, with the former providing submarines (capable of being refitted for nuclear weapons...

Black lawmakers vow to stand by Israel despite sitting out Netanyahu speech

http://www.jta.org/2015/03/10/news-opinion/politics/black-lawmakers-vow-to-stand-by-israel-despite-sitting-out-netanyahu "Leading black lawmakers have taken pains to put the blame for the speech incident on Boehner and convey their continued support for Israel. At the news conference with Lewis, Rep.

4-27-2018 You're far more likely to be killed protesting in Gaza than firing a rocket - Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man +972

https://972mag.com/youre-far-more-likely-to-be-killed-protesting-in-gaza-than-firing-a-rocket/134952/ Not a single rocket has been fired into Israel from Gaza in over two months, yet since March 30 Israel has killed more Palestinians in Gaza than it did in the previous 16 months, during which time militants launched over 60 rockets and mortars… Another conclusion might be that Israeli decision-makers, whether in the political or military echelon, see no negative consequences for shooting unarmed protesters that might deter them from continuing to deploy snipers along the borders week after week. Engaging Gaza's militant groups with deadly force in response to rocket fire, on the other hand, runs the risk of escalating into full-fledged armed conflict that would bring with it far greater consequences for Israel militarily, diplomatically, and geopolitically.   Posted by Judith Ferster, AIME member
