“Four Israelis who work for leading human rights organizations woke up to a new, frightening reality after a video accused each one of them of being a foreign agent working to defend Palestinian terrorists,” writes Mairav Zonszein.

“The organization of former Israeli soldiers is coming under attack from every direction these days — from the Israel’s president to the defense minister to the police. So what’s the deal?

“The Jewish American establishment clearly cannot handle an Arab non-Zionist with the chutzpah to assert his right to be treated respectfully and equally in his own country,” writes Lisa Goldman.

“Arab Israeli MK and Joint List leader Ayman Odeh’s decision not to meet with the Conference of Presidents this week in New York — because the meeting was to be held in Jewish Agency offices — was the right move,” writes Mairav Zonszein.

“An elite IDF soldier shoots an unarmed Palestinian man point blank in the leg while he’s restrained and in custody. Another soldier from the same elite unit shoots a camel in a drive-by. Which of the two do you think is in jail right now?” asks Michael Omer-Man.

“Did a Palestinian activist see justice only because the soldier who shot him was an Arab?” Amjad Iraqi writes.

Canaan Khoury had recently finished work for the day at the first Palestinian boutique winery in Taybeh, overlooking the Dead Sea. It was a good harvest this year, he said, although the company had 14 dunhams (14,000sq metres) of its land confiscated by the Israeli military in the summer. Khoury exports his wines to Denmark and hopes to expand to other European states in the future. He welcomed the European Union’s decision last month to change its guidelines on labelling imports produced in illegal Israeli settlements.

Recent funding for right-wing charities over the past decade were hidden from the public, according to a Peace Now report. The origin of NIS 567.7 million (over $100 million) was hidden from the public amount, the report estimates. The left-wing NGO checked the transparency of right-wing nonprofits over the course of that period and was able to identify the sources of only 4.6% of their funding.

The Gaza Strip is in a rather unique situation. After decades of continuous Israeli presence, both military and civilian, the Israeli government decided to unilaterally “disengage”, thereby relinquishing some powers and some aspects of rule over the Gaza Strip. But it maintains control over many spheres that in turn influence almost every single aspect of the daily lives of Gaza’s residents.

Former Prime Minister Salam Fayyad’s visit to the Gaza Strip has raised many eyebrows as to what Hamas is holding in store for its political opponents.
