The issues defining the future
Will this
Third elections campaign
Deal with
Peace and Territories,
Settlements and Palestinians?

The lesser evil
Netanyahu wanted to form
A government which would
Annex the Jordan Valley

Desperate gambles
A 16-year old shot to death
On the Gaza border.
A 18-year old shot to death
Near to Hebron.
In between, many houses
Destroyed in East Jerusalem.
Did all that help
To make Israel more safe?... • More...

Too busy
Trump is offering
Unlimited support
For an aggressive policy
Of settlements and annexations.
But Netanyahu is too busy,
Devoting his energy
To a bitter struggle
For personal survival.

The Iranian paradox
A country which
Secretly produces
Nuclear arms
Is committing
A grave dangerous act.
Netanyahu vowed
To absolutely

Why not?
The Yitzhar settlers claim
To be "religious".
That did not stop them
From beating with crowbars
An 80-year old Rabbi,
Who helped Palestinians
Harvesting their olives.

On a flimsy pretext
Of 9 grams of cannabis.

"Interrogation"
After two days of
Shabak interrogation
The suspect Samer Arabid
Was rushed to an

Confidence...
After intensive discussion,
Most representatives of
Israel's Arab citizens
Opted to recommend
Benny Ganz as
The next Prime Minister.
Benny Ganz still has
To prove himself worthy
Of this confidence. • More...

Worse than all that
Worse than Netanyahu's
Blunt racist campaign,
And his promise of annexations
Putting a definite end
To the last spark of hope of
Peace with the Palestinians;
And worse than the criminal charges... • More...

Eureka! Cameras!
Help! Help!
The Arabs will steal
The repeat elections!
How to wake up
The Likud voters?
Eureka! Cameras!

Already fills
The Air. • More...

Not enough
As usual, towards elections
There is an increase
In military tensions,
Netanyahu sharply attacks
The media,
And speaks of annexation.
But Bibi, this time
All this may just
Not be enough. • More...

The day after
In these elections
Neither the parties
Nor the media
Speak of the Palestinians,
Solutions not offered.
Meanwhile on the ground:
Attacks, bombs,
Launching of missiles.

Chutzpah
"They come to destroy,
We come to build!"
So declared Netanyahu,

To destroy the homes of

But also Netanyahu had
An important achievement:

Destruction gimmick
How to let right wingers
Know that it is worthwhile
To vote Likud?
Very simple:
Send hundreds of soldiers
With bulldozers
To destroy an entire
Palestinian neighborhood
In East Jerusalem. • More...

Just remove the army
Mr. Netanyahu, there is
No need to "uproot"
Any settlement.
Just to remove the army.
Settlers wanting to.stay on

Who is illegal here?
The settlers demand
The destruction of

Sixty fishing boats
Sixty fishing boats
Confiscated at sea
Sixty fishermen
Getting home
Without fish -
And without a boat.
Now, Netanyahu promises
To return the boats.

For sale
Netanyahu and Trump
Are best friends.
Just one thing
Separates them:
Sale of the Haifa Port
To the Chinese.
Perhaps we could sell
