APN's daily news review from Israel
Thursday March 14, 2019

 
Quote of the day:
"Netanyahu, your devotion to the mission was the symbol of your strength as a soldier and a commander. Now, when the goal is only your personal survival, that ability has turned into a double-edged sword being stabbed into all of our bodies, right-wing and left-wing alike."
--Avshalom 'Abu' Vilan, who once fought in the army alongside Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, calls out against Netanyahu's incitement against the left-wing and asks him to think about the good of the state and not preserving his seat.*

APN's daily news review from Israel
Wednesday March 13, 2019

 
Quote of the day:
"What took place between Givat Assaf and Abu Shukhaydam occurs every night and it’s only the absence of documentation that prevents the expose of the pure evil on the part of the world’s most moral army. The nausea and disgust are overwhelming, and then comes the anger and shame. All of it takes place very quickly. 'Say hello, say it,' 'It’s a celebration, you idiot,' 'Goodbye forever.' The sounds of blows to the head, blow after blow, the moaning of the father and son, the sounds of the helpless, the giggles of the abusers."
--Haaretz prints on its front page an Op-Ed by journalist Gideon Levy damning Israeli society, following the court release of video filmed by soldiers showing them brutally beating a Palestinian father and son who were detained.*

APN's daily news review from Israel
Monday March 11, 2019
 
Quote of the day:
“(Culture Minister Miri) Regev sits and explains to (TV host) Rina Matzliah that the public must be cautious because if [Kahol Lavan chairman] Benny Gantz gets elected he will have to set up a government with the Arabs. Rina Matzliah remains silent. So I asked myself why Rina didn’t ask her in astonishment, ‘And what’s the problem with Arabs???’ Good Lord, there are also Arab citizens in this country. When the hell will someone in this government convey to the public that Israel is a state for all its citizens. And all people were born equal. Arabs, too, God help us, are human beings. And so are the Druze. And so are gays, by the way, and lesbians, and…shock…leftists."
—Israeli actress, model and TV presenter, Rotem Sela, wrote on her Instagram story, and sparked an enormous political storm.*
