APN's daily news review from Israel
Wednesday December 11, 2019

 
Quote of the day:
“Show me where in West Jerusalem or in Tel Aviv a man would put cameras on his drug den? He knows they won’t do anything to him. If anyone touches him he would come with his weapon and shoot. The police know, everyone knows and no one does anything. Nobody dares touch him.”
—Khaled Zeir, a resident of Silwan neighborhood in E. Jerusalem, was one of many Palestinian Jerusalemites that Haaretz’s Nir Hasson interviewed who described how Israeli police were not only not stopping the plague of drug dealers filling the E. Jerusalem streets, but preventing residents from organizing to stop them.*

APN's daily news review from Israel
Sunday December 8, 2019

 Quotes of the day:
"This is a period of uncertainty and such periods are fertile ground for incitement and hateful voices, fertile ground for discourse that seeks to turn the tables, to make the guards out as rioters, the protectors as attackers, turn falsehoods into truth. They will lie, and we will tell the truth. This is a period that an unprecedented delegitimization campaign is being made against the law enforcement system in Israel. It is a successful campaign in which hatred and incitement are the currency. This is no longer coming from the lunatic fringes of society."
--Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber said in a speech at the annual conference of the Israel Association for Public Law.*

"Dina's speech was rightly applauded here, but in groups where we have a serious problem of trust it did not achieve its goal - and perhaps the opposite.”
--Deputy Attorney General Raz Nazri said at the annual conference of the Israel Association for Public Law.*

—In a speech following an address by Culture Minister Miri Regev, who said that she was committed to the idea of making public funding for the arts conditional on loyalty to the state and lack of criticism of the occupation, actress Liora Rivlin compared the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a play.*

APN's daily news review from Israel
Wednesday December 4, 2019

 
Quote of the day:
"The story here is not a story of money at all. The story is simply that our education system is in fact an accurate reflection of civil society. The litmus paper used as a murky mirror of the visible and covert processes in the State of Israel. A policy whose motto is 'Our situation is good, if you exclude the Arabs and the ultra-Orthodox' is a policy that promotes failure."
--Yedioth commentator Chen Artzi-Srur looks at the enormous gap between PISA test scores of Jewish and Arab pupils in Israel, whereby in math, science and language, Arab pupils are at least three to four years behind their Jewish peers.*

Quote of the day:
