Sincerely,

Quote of the day:

"How you rejoiced over peace with the Emirates, how you internalized Netanyahu's status quo doctrine vis-à-vis the Palestinians, and how you suppressed the word 'occupation.' You are the only ones who are surprised by this escalation."
--Dr. Omer Einav writes in Yedioth Hebrew that you can't ignore the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It must be resolved.*

APN's daily news review from Israel - Tuesday May 11, 2021

Quote of the day:

"Jerusalem Day is a national day of mourning. It’s the day when Israeli society marks the conquest of East Jerusalem. Not its liberation. Not its unification with the western part of the city. Not its freedom. The Palestinians living in Silwan, Sheikh Jarrah and Shoafat did not go from slavery to freedom at the end of the Six-Day War. They, along with all of East Jerusalem, were conquered and...have been living under a violent occupation that deprives, excludes and humiliates them."
--Rogel Alpher writes in Haaretz about the meaning of Jerusalem Day, which right-wing religious Jews attempted to celebrate yesterday, but for once, were thwarted.*

Quote of the day:

"More than 80% of Arab society is Muslim, and the Druze and Christian minorities also respect the month of Ramadan and recognize it as part of the collective Arab culture. But it’s not known among the Jews. Why is this information not taught in the education system? Why does a child who grew up in the country alongside us not know what we do?"
--Saja Khilani writes in Ynet Hebrew.*

Quote of the day:

Quote of the day:

“You don’t know what’s going on? When the people were given permission? Based on which agreements and for how long? How can it be that the state gives land to a person and there are no agreements and they don’t know for how long, especially when it’s not state land? Whoever heard of such a thing?”
—Israel’s High Court Justice Esther Hayut's reaction when to the state’s lawyer after the state couldn’t explain the conditions under which it had allowed Israeli settlers to use privately-owned Palestinian land.*

—Haaretz+ commentator Iris Leal compares the US alt-right groups that Trump supported with the Israeli extreme right anti-Arab activists, who attacked dozens of Palestinians in E. Jerusalem Thursday night and have continued to do so since.*

Syrian Anti-aircraft Missile Exploded in Southern Israel, IDF Struck Near Damascus
Syrian missile fired at an IAF jet, missed its target and landed near Dimona and set off air raid sirens near the country's top-secret nuclear reactor. And Israeli interceptor was not activated to shoot it down, Maariv reported. In Tehran, some claimed it was a surface-to-surface missile, not a surface-to-air missile as reported in Israel. No group has taken responsibility for the launch, which could be Iran's revenge on Israel for Natanz sabotage attack. Israel attacked near Damascus afterward. Syria reported that one officer was killed and three soldiers were injured. (Haaretz+, Maariv, Ynet and Israel Hayom)
