In a series of videos Tuesday, Israel Resilience, led by Benny Gantz, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of caving to Hamas and evacuating settlements. It was the first time the party has leveled a direct attack on Netanyahu, who has waged a months-long campaign seeking to portray rival party leader Gantz as a “weak leftist.”-rh Can a Light Rail Train Link a Divided City? KESHIA NAURANA BADALGE - City Lab - If there’s a neutral zone for the residents of Jerusalem, it’s on rails. In a city where real estate is highly contested, where walls divide neighborhoods based on faith, and the clothes you wear are code for where you should be seen, the city’s modern light rail system––whether by virtue of peace or necessity–– glides above the divide. That’s why a team of Palestinians and Israelis from Mekudeshet, an arts and cultural initiative, are using the city’s public transit as a platform for documentary and observation. Every summer, the group stages a program of original light-rail-based tours called Dissolving Boundaries—“docu-theatrical journeys” designed to distance you a little from your personal paradigms.-rh What Netanyahu actually said on Poles’ collaboration with Nazis TAMAR SHARON and RAPHAEL AHREN - The Times of Israel - A brief diplomatic crisis between Israel and Poland has served as a sharp reminder of the power that a single word — even if that word is simply “the” — can sometimes carry in international relations. Top Polish politicians were thrown into a frenzy Thursday after reports emerged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in Warsaw for an international conference on the Middle East, had said that “the Poles cooperated with the Nazis” during the Holocaust.-rh Will Israeli Jews support Arab Knesset candidate? Shlomi Eldar - Al- Monitor - Will Knesset member Ahmad Tibi, chairman of Taal, succeed in breaking the longstanding taboo of “anyone but Arabs in the coalition”? While it is still too early to tell, the possibility is already keeping Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu awake at night. On the evening of the 2015 elections, Netanyahu had warned, “Arab voters are heading to the polling stations in droves,” managing to drum up more votes for himself. On Feb. 9, he posted a video on his Facebook page attacking Benny Gantz, head of Israel Resilience, and insinuating that Arab votes are illegitimate. The target of his intimidation campaign was Tibi: “You vote for Gantz; you get Tibi,” is the title of the clip, which claims, among other things, “The Oslo Accords passed because of the Arabs’ votes. … Former Chief of Staff Gantz will do it again.-rh Here’s why Bernie Sanders already has the Democratic party rattled Norman Solomon - Alter Net - With a launch of the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign on the near horizon, efforts to block his trajectory to the Democratic presidential nomination are intensifying. The lines of attack are already aggressive—and often contradictory. One media meme says that Bernie has made so much headway in moving the Democratic Party leftward that he’s no longer anything special. We’re supposed to believe that candidates who’ve adjusted their sails to the latest political wind are just as good as the candidate who generated the wind in the first place.-rh For previous articles since 2004 go to respective sections Recommended articles Stephen Shenfield:The last eyewitnesses: a new film on the Nakba Yumna Patel :‘There are no foreigners left’: Israeli settlers rampage in Hebron following expulsion of human rights observers Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man:JVP just declared itself anti-Zionist and it`s already shifting the conversation Ben Caspit :Netanyahu’s new anti-indictment weapon: his own TV channel Ramzy Baroud:Now Chad, then Mali: Why African Countries Are Normalizing with Israel Rod Such:How Black Power spread support for Palestine Hamid Dabashi:A crusader in Cairo: Pompeo`s pompous imperialism has no clothes Edo Konrad:Activists pulled off bus for protesting racial profiling at Israeli hospital
