Quote of the day:
"I’m not comfortable being a G-string covering the nakedness of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as he boasts to every ambassador that 'Israel is the only democratic oasis in the Middle East.' I use the G-string as a metaphor because the metaphor of a fig leaf is obvious. The G-string, in contrast, is barely seen and barely felt, and we barely see or feel this democracy, which we are supposed to celebrate."
--Tamer Nafar, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and a renowned rapper, writes that - despite everything - Arabs in Israel should vote.*

Peace Now's Shaqued Morag: "What I told US Ambassador David Friedman"

Dear friend,

Amid reports that Trump is considering publishing his political plan before Israel’s general election, I met, together with several other representatives of the Israeli Peace Camp, with US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. I thought you would be interested in the content of this meeting.

At the meeting, we expressed our dismay regarding the US government's actions in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  Specifically, we argued that unilateral moves by the Trump administration are further undermining trust between Israelis and Palestinians and may spark a new round of violence, the price of which will be paid by Israelis and Palestinians on the ground.

We reminded the Ambassador that most Israelis continuously and unwaveringly support the two-states solution.  We reiterated that these Israeli citizens favor a solution guaranteeing peace and security over the Greater Israel one-state vision, which would spell an end to a democratic Israel, and would run afoul of the shared values at the core of the special relationship between our two countries.

Quote of the day:
“(Ayelet) Shaked and (Bezalel) Smotrich have decided to turn the entire population into settlers.
