  1. To look back over Daniel Sokatch's visit to Australia, check out all the media coverage on our website nif.org.au/updates_from_d…
  2. RT @ABCthedrum: Israel is in the midst of a period of grassroots social justice activism, writes @dsokatch bit.ly/KZXZKB
  3. From an e-mail sent to our supporters: An update on the recent refugee-related events in South Tel Aviv nif.org.au/update_on_rece…
  4. Final @dsokatch event in Australia on his speaking tour. A great week of positive engagement on NIF issues! twitter.com/NIFAustralia/s…
  5. I uploaded a @YouTube video youtu.be/J0h9A2by3d0?a Daniel Sokatch speaks at NIF Australia event in Sydney
  6. He is now one of the strongest PMs since Ben Gurion.
  7. But it's all crystal ball gazing. Very hard to tell what Bibi is going to do.
  8. If he wants to restart peace negotiations he can do that. He'd get support from coalition and from left opposition parties.
  9. Where will he go? He can curb excesses of antidemocratic legislation if he wants which has come from far-right parties/MKs.
  10. Q: If Bibi is 'king', what does that mean for NIF? Is he truly a democrat, & is there cause for optimism for democracy given new coalition?
  11. Ruth Marcus also wrote about the campaign in the @washingtonpost in Dec 2011 washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-par…
  12. Daniel now talking about Women Should Be Seen and Heard campaign nif.org/get-involved/i…
  13. Hopefully these laws will be overturned. Already they are being challenged in High Court of Justice in Israel.
  14. These are hard to hear. Cognitive dissonance sometimes occurs - facts vs long-heard stories/-held beliefs.
  15. 2/2 But it's illegal to boycott settlements. Not a bill, it's a law. And antidemocratic.
  16. Might not like settlement boycott but no diff to Haredi boycott of shops open on Shabbat. Can boycott high $ of cottage cheese. 1/2
  17. NIF opposes global #BDS. Boycott law is wrong but it's freedom of expression in same way Haredim have right to boycott shops open on Shabbat
  18. Nakba Day is same. Might not be face of Israel we want to see, but have to accept diff perspective (not going away). 'Nakba law' is wrong.
  19. Days have different narratives. July 4 in US is independence day, but for some Americans it symbolises dec of ind which entrenched slavery.
  20. Some antidemocratic bills have become laws, despite what NGO Monitor says: Nakba law & boycott law, for example.
