    In this paper for , I explore the concept of confederation applied to Israel-Palestine. In contrast to the "State-Minus" idea conceived by Bibi, I posit the "State-Plus" framework that expands rights/sovereignty across borders.

    Oh even better: In response to Q's "the IDF, said that “routine security operations” were “part of the fight against terrorism and the efforts to improve the quality of life for the Palestinian population in Judea and Samaria.” Exact logic given for "shrinking the conflict."

    "If the new claims are true, the case would be yet another instance of the software being used against rights advocates and the first known instance of it being used inside Israel." Um. Where do you think these technologies are developed and field tested?

    This is the event that needs to happen. Glad to see & raising these voices. We must stand against Israel deeming any/all opposition to its anti-Palestinian policies as terrorism. These orgs are fundamental to the fight against oppression.

    There are no sweeping policy changes or declarative statements from the Israeli government, but the accumulation of all that is happening serves a definite purpose. And there is no doubt we are in the midst of a sea change in the conflict.

    We have and are witnessing not only the ethnic cleansing of the living, but also the dead. I guess anything is possible when your ideology is based on ethnic supremacy and de-humanization of the other.

    So Israel dug up one Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem to build its "Museum of Tolerance," and now is digging up another Muslim cemetery to build a biblical theme park. Can you imagine if this was perpetrated by anyone other than Israel against Palestinians, what outrage there'd be?

    Imagine for a moment this was a cemetery being torn down by authorities to build a new theme park!

    Israel is bulldozing part of a historic Muslim cemetery in occupied East Jerusalem to build a park. Bulldozers exposed human remains at the Al-Yusufiyah cemetery — officials claim the graves were not authorized. Police dragged away Palestinians trying to protect family's graves.

    What does Israel's designation of six prominent Palestinian human rights/civil society organizations this week as "terrorists" and the backlash against the UN's blacklist of businesses doing business in the settlements have in common?
