APN's daily news review from Israel

Sunday July 21, 2019

Quote of the day:
“To claim that Israel is the victim of the Palestinians isn’t just to ignore the occupation, it’s to justify its practices entirely.”
—Haaretz commentator Rogel Alpher wrote in an Op-Ed after U.S. peace envoy Jason Greenblatt said in an interview with PBS on Wednesday that "Israel is actually more the victim than the party that's responsible.” Greenblatt also rejected the term "occupied" to describe the West Bank and called the use of the word 'settlements' "pejorative." **

APN's daily news review from Israel

Thursday July 18, 2019

You Must Be Kidding:
Judge Oded Moreno accepted the defense’s arguments that Nahum Ariel’s posts did not constitute incitement or a criminal insult to a public servant and acquited him. Ariel, 25, a resident of Yitzhar settlement, wrote that “there isn’t a single prohibition in halakha [Jewish law] against killing a soldier conducting a nighttime eviction" (of settler outposts) and alongside a picture of a policeman he wrote, “This scumbag is called N.S. He’s a religious dog who just took part in the arrest of a woman from our settlement.” **

APN's daily news review from Israel

Wednesday July 17, 2019

You Must Be Kidding:
"At first they said he was under arrest. After half an hour they left. They said he's not under arrest and not anything."
--Fayyed Azzam, brother of Faris, an Arab-Israeli who was shot by soldiers while in his car at a West Bank checkpoint Tuesday. The IDF initially said that Faris was a terrorist that tried to run them over. An Israeli official later claimed the soldiers only aimed at his car and that his moderate wounds are the result of "a family dispute." Faris, who is hospitalized, said he didn't hear them call him to stop because his windows were closed and the A/C was on. Once they opened fire he pressed the gas, fearing they would've killed him had he stopped. Regarding the army’s claim that his brother was suspected of a terror attack, Fayyed said, “They always lie."

APN's daily news review from Israel

Tuesday July 16, 2019

Quote of the day:

"It’s hard to decide what’s worse: the ignorance and shamelessness of Education Minister Rafi Peretz, who doesn’t hesitate to determine that a large group of citizens (LGBQT), supposedly with equal rights but who do not conform to rules he regards as the norm, is worthy of being sent for re-education (gay conversion therapy), or the evil and ignorance he demonstrates in his declaration that it’s time to completely take control over the Palestinians and their land while imposing apartheid and a denial of their most basic civil rights."
--Haaretz+ commentator Tzvia Greenfeld.writes in today's paper.*
