News Nosh 1.31.16

APN's daily news review from Israel
Tuesday January 31, 2017
 
Quote of the day:
"Assuming, not unfoundedly, that the Trump era will be followed by a strong reaction of all those he stepped on in the name of alternative facts and disregard. What then? Israel will be part of the Trump legacy, a legacy of contempt towards human rights, reciprocity, a balanced global policy—a legacy the next generation will want to renounce. When you place all your money on the gambler, you go down with him. There is a tomorrow."
--Yedioth columnist Aviad Kleinberg writes that US President Donald Trump may be bad for Israel.

Quote of the day:

--Haaretz's Asher Schechter writes about Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Twitter message expressing support for US President Donald Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican border.*

Quote of the day:
"If you honk, you're not about to run people down."
-- Said Yakub Abu al-Kiyan's brother-in-law, Salim, who heard Yakub’s horn honking nonstop during the incident that night in Um al-Hiran village, during which Border Police shot and killed Yakub while he drove his car, which ran over and killed one of the policemen. The horn may have sounded when he fell onto the steering wheel, wounded, or maybe he blew it deliberately, wrote Haaretz reporter Gideon Levy, who visited and interviewed his family.

You Must Be Kidding: 
Jared Kushner's name appeared on the website of Friends of the Israel Defense Forces as a member of the national board until just two days ago. Kushner is the son-in-law and personal advisor of the US President. A day after Haaretz submitted questions both to the organization and to a spokeswoman for the Kushner family about his continued involvement on the board, it was suddenly removed.**

APN's daily news review from Israel
Wednesday January 25, 2017  
 
Quote of the day:
“Was the war really conducted in a negligent manner, or perhaps Netanyahu and (former defense minister Moshe) Ya'alon actually demonstrated responsibility and caution? After all, they knew and understood, as well as the chief of staff and his generals, that fast moves - as (Minister Naftali) Bennett urged: "Be galloping horses" - will cause many deaths that Israeli society finds difficult to deal with… And there is another truth that must be admitted: neither Hamas nor its tunnels pose a strategic threat to Israel's military power.”
--Maariv’s Intel commentator Yossi Melman writes that while the State Comptroller’s report may make look Minister Naftali Bennett look good for exposing that information was kept from the security cabinet, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Bennett was strategically right in pushing for the destruction of the Hamas tunnels.*

News Nosh 01.24.17

APN's daily news review from Israel
Tuesday January 24, 2017  
 
Comparison of the Day:
Yesterday, Abed Dawiat, a 20-year-old Palestinian from E. Jerusalem, got an 18-year prison sentence - the longest given in Israel for manslaughter from stone-throwing. Dawiat threw a stone at the car of an Israeli man, who lost control, crashed into a pole and died.
Today, the Israeli military prosecution is expected to seek a 3-5 year sentence for Sgt. Elor Azariya, 20, who was convicted [only] of manslaughter. Azariya extra-judicially shot in the head and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian assailant who had already been laying on the ground incapacitated, wounded and unmoving for 11 minutes.

APN's daily news review from Israel
Monday January 22, 2017  
 
Quote of the day:
"Almaleh was fired because she did something much more dangerous and subversive: the courage to not make a distinction between Jew and Arab. Almaleh sees people without reference to their ethnicity or national affiliation. That is a genuinely intolerable sacrilege. Khen Almaleh is Satan. 'I too would have run if I were being forced out of my home in order to build a community for people more powerful than I,' she wrote. Whoa! She doesn’t care if the perpetrator is Arab. She doesn’t care if the “more powerful” people are Jews. She doesn’t care about the Zionist enterprise. She has empathy for the underdog, despite his being Arab and her being Jewish. That is not merely justifying the murder of a policeman. That is genuinely dangerous.”
--Haaretz commentator Rogel Alpher writes about the firing of an Army Radio DJ for expressing sympathy with a Bedouin man who ran over a policeman who had come to demolish his home. (Later, the autopsy revealed that he was shot in the leg which likely caused him to lose control of the car and hit the policeman.)**

You Must Be Kidding: 
"I hate leftists more than I hate Arabs. Arabs are supporting their people and their land. Leftists are Jews who hate their own people, they are against their own people, this is why I hate leftists. They are self-righteous and they don’t live in the reality. But in their heart, they know that it’s not possible for there to be equal rights between Jews and Arabs."
--Sapir Sabah, the high-school student who brought about the firing of her left-wing teacher, gave an interview to Mako.**
