APN's daily news review from Israel

Sunday November 25, 2018

Quote of the day:

"The establishment of the state left behind a considerable amount of destruction, houses were destroyed, families were separated (as in many other wars). It is possible to celebrate the state without denying that. To allow Israeli Arabs to mourn this loss does not require denying Israel's right to exist, it requires only a little empathy."
--Asaf Ronal, the film critic if Channel 12's Mako website, responds to Yedioth's article slamming Israeli Arab singer, Lina Makhoul, for declining a request to perform on Israel's Independence Day.*

Thursday November 22, 2018

You Must Be Kidding:

APN's daily news review from Israel

Wednesday November 21, 2018

Quote of the Day #1:

--Inbal Levy, a settler in Ofra, who recently established a compound of B&Bs there, failed to advertise on Airbnb.*

APN's daily news review from Israel

Tuesday November 20, 2018

Quote of the day:

APN's daily news review from Israel

Monday November 19, 2018

Exchange of the day:

Negotiation specialist, Michael Tsur: "Negotiation takes place in the mind of your partner. In other words, until you understand how [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah’s mind works, you won’t know what to do."
Interviewer: And if we’re dealing with Nasrallah?
Michael Tsur: “It doesn’t matter how dangerous I am perceived to be in your eyes. First of all make your request nicely, in a way that respects the addressee. For example, at [West Bank] border crossings I’ve been imploring soldiers for years not to say, in Arabic, ‘Hand over your ID card.’ Why not say, ‘Give me your ID card, please’?”
Interviewer: Would that approach at least move us toward peace negotiations?
Negotiation specialist, Michael Tsur: “I want to say that under the right leadership, it would take half a year, and we would have coexistence here. I won’t say peace, because that’s a terribly dangerous word, almost like love.”*
