Israel's Next Move: The Real Danger in US Decision to Normalize Illegal Jewish Settlements
Ramzy Baroud | dissidentvoice.org | 2019-11-27

US foreign policy has been edging closer towards this conclusion for some time. Since his advent to the White House in January 2017, President …

Is Netanyahu Ready to Inflame War to Escape his Legal Troubles?
Jonathan Cook | dissidentvoice.org | 2019-11-27
The decision to indict Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on three separate criminal counts pushes the country's already unprecedented electoral stalemate into the entirely uncharted territory of a constitutional crisis. There is no legal precedent for a sitting prime minister facing a trial — in Netanyahu's case, for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Former …

"An Attack on the Human Rights Movement": Israel Deports Human Rights Watch Monitor
Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-11-26
The Israeli government deported the director of Human Rights Watch's Israel and Palestine office, Omar Shakir, on Monday. The organization said the move places Israel in an "ugly club" of authoritarian regimes. Israel has accused Shakir of supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, a nonviolent global campaign aiming to pressure Israel over its treatment of Palestinians. A 2017 Israeli law bans foreigners from Israel if they publicly support the BDS movement. Omar Shakir joins us from Stockholm to discuss his recent deportation and his plans to address the European Parliament regarding Israel's sy…
