| Celebrity historian Yuval Noah Harari Snubs Israeli Consulate Over Anti-Liberal Legislation, | | Asaf Shalev - CTech/Ynet - Yuval Noah Harari, the Israeli celebrity
historian and author of bestsellers like "Sapiens: A Brief History
of Humankind," refused an invitation to collaborate with the Israeli
consulate in Los Angeles, citing recent decisions by the Israeli
government impacting the rights of gay couples and ethnic
minorities. “Although Professor Harari is proud of being Israeli, we
have no interest in cooperating with the consulate, which represents
to us a far-reaching organ of Israeli government policy that limits
freedoms of the press and of expression, creativity and thought,”
said Harari’s manager. [ak] | 30/7/2018 |

| Israel seeks to isolate Palestinians from global support | | Adri Nieuwhof - EI - “Israel is obstructing the ability of international
organizations to monitor its compliance with its obligations as an occupying
power under international law. Therefore by refusing to stand up to Israel’s entry
ban, European governments are helping Israel conceal its abuses from the
world and giving it cover to commit more violations” [ry] | 31/7/2018 |

| Thousands Attend Mega Arabic Lesson in Tel Aviv to Protest Nation-state Law | | Judy Maltz - Haaretz - It was billed the biggest Arabic lesson in
the world, and on Monday evening organizers estimated that a few
thousand Israelis participated in the mega-event held in one of Tel
Aviv’s big city squares.In addition to learning new words in Arabic,
the crowd was treated to performances by Jewish and Arab musicians
and artists. Organized by a consortium of Israeli civil society
organization, the event was held to protest the controversial
nation-state law, passed by the Knesset this month, that downgrades
Arabic as one of the country’s official languages. T-shirts sold at
the event had the words “I love Arabic” (in Arabic words, but Hebrew
letters) printed on them. The crowd included Jews and Arabs,
including many who had traveled long distances to attend. They
repeated basic words and terms in Arabic after the teachers, who
delivered their lesson from a central stage.[ak] | 30/7/2018 |

| Police arrests artists who painted Ahed Tamimi mural on separation wall | | Haggai Matar - +972 Magazine - Two Italian citizens and one
Palestinian were arrested by Israeli Border Police officers on
Saturday after graffitiing a portrait of Ahed Tamimi, who was
released from prison the following day, on part of the West Bank
separation barrier in Bethlehem. Following the arrest, the Israel
Police Spokesperson announced that the “Border Police views every
attempt to harm or vandalize the wall with great severity, we will
arrest the offenders and bring them to justice.” The section of the
separation wall chosen by the artists, located on the edge of
Bethlehem near Rachel’s Tomb, is one of the most popular with
graffiti artists and tourists alike. Just a few meters from Ahed’s
portrait is a giant mural of President Donald Trump. The police made
no effort to arrest whoever made that. [ak] | 30/7/2018 |

| Activists tasered as Israeli navy intercepts Freedom Flotilla boat heading to Gaza i | | Freedom Flotilla Coalition - Eye-witness Zohar Chamberlain Regev
reports that at the time of boarding “People on the boat were
tasered and hit by masked soldiers. Do not believe reports of
peaceful interception.” The Freedom Flotilla`s Al Awda, a former
fishing boat sailing under a Norwegian flag, took off
from Italy with 22 activists on board - including Yonatan Shapira,
former combat pilot of the Israeli Air Force, who is on his fourth

from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, UK and the United States. The boat
was carrying aid and €13,000 worth of medical supplies, and the
organizers had intended to donate the boat itself to the hard-
pressed
Gazan fishermen`s community. [ak] | 30/7/2018 |

The Electronic Intifada -
"“I was shot with an explosive bullet in my left leg,” the 26-year-old said. “Doctors have told me that I will not be able to go back to surfing because my muscles will not be as strong as they were. Surfing requires strong muscles and being able to balance on the surfboard. At the moment, I cannot move my leg."" - id

| From the Freedom Flotilla, Former Israeli Air Force Pilot Calls for a Boycott of Israel | | IMEMC -
"I realized together with other friends in the air force that we are fighting for the wrong side, and we are part of an organization that commits a crime against innocent Palestinians, and we do not want to be part of it anymore. So together with a group of about 27 pilots from all different squadrons of the Israeli air force, attack pilots, rescue pilots like me and others, veterans and active, we send this letter to our commander and the whole society in Israel telling them that we are no longer willing to obey the orders and be part of this illegal and criminal, immoral, occupation. That’s what started my life as an activist fifteen years ago, on the eve of the Jewish year, Rosh Hashanah." - id | 18/7/2018 |

| Demonstrate on the Gaza border: Stop the war - reach an agreement! | | The Other Voice - The past week was one of the most difficult we
have experienced since the summer of 2014. Dozens of missiles shot,
nights of running to air raid shelters, leaving dead on the
Palestinian side and wounded on the Israeli side. The terrible
sequence of events, which we have witnessed too many times already,
is once again running its familiar course. Once again, swords are
rattled on both sides and preparations made for a destructive new
round of all-out fighting. The politicians and the media no longer
talk of whether there will be a war, but only of when it will break
out. To us, this situation is completely unacceptable – because
there is no real reason for war. It`s time for an agreement! [ak] | 17/7/2018 |

Challenge -
"An exhibition by artist Noam Toran at Tel Aviv’s RawArt Gallery takes us back to Arab and Jewish rail workers in 1930s Haifa and imagines an alternative to the bloody conflict between the two peoples. Instead of death and hatred, Toran offers a fantasy of partnership based on solidarity among workers." - id

| Socialist International backs BDS | | The Left Chapter - In a surprisingly strongly worded statement from
them, the Socialist International (SI) -- which "brings together 140
global political parties, including 35 parties in government" -- has
denounced recent actions by Israel and called on "all governments
and civil society organizations to activate Boycott, divestment and
sanctions (BDS) against the Israeli occupation, all the occupation
institutions, and the illegal Israeli settlement including the total
embargo on all forms of military trade and cooperation with Israel
as long as it continues its policies of occupation and Apartheid
against the Palestinian people." The BDS website describes this as
"the most significant call for sanctions against Israel to date".
Of course, resolutions like this do not necessarily guide the
actions of the member parties, but it is definitely a positive step.

| Is Israel`s justice minister determined to undermine the judicial system? | | Yossi Beilin - Al-Monitor - The Knesset’s Justice Committee hasn’t had
a meeting like Monday`s in a very long time. On June 25, Justice
Minister Ayelet Shaked of HaBayit HaYehudi submitted legislation that
would allow each minister to select the legal adviser for his
ministry. She faced opposition from three senior figures — the current
and two former attorney generals. In the administrative hierarchy of
government, the current attorney general serves under the minister.-rh

| The brief but exciting life of the bill to outlaw filming IDF soldiers | | HAVIV RETTIG GUR - The Times of Israel - MK Ilatov did, in fact, pen a
bill of the sort that Sokatch warned about. But he didn’t do so
because he thought it might pass, nor even because he wanted it to
pass. As anyone with more than a passing familiarity with Israeli
politics of the past decade can attest, right-wing lawmakers use such
bills to get their names in the newspaper in a nation where news
events come at a fevered pace and no mere press release from a junior
politician has much hope of getting noticed. The most effective way to
get noticed, right-wing lawmakers have discovered, is to trigger the
left into a public relations campaign against them. Countless right-
wing bills have been proposed, but only an infinitesimal number have
passed into law. Those that did were so gutted by the time they became
law that they have not been enforced, usually because the final
version negotiated by lawmakers during the legislative process was
carefully constructed to ensure they could not be enforced.rh | 4/7/2018 |

political spectrum will march from the Saja`iya neighborhood towards
the border - near Kibbutz Nahal Oz.

there is someone in Israel to talk to.[ak]

| Activists change street names in Tel Aviv | | Killing Without Consequence facebook page - Early this morning activists changed
the names of streets in Salama - a former Palestinian village
emptied of its original population in 1948, incorporated into Tel
Aviv and re-settled with Jewish Israelis. The Herzl Street was
renamed "Return Street and Ben-Zvi as "Razan al Najar Street".
This action was in advance of a memorial ceremony for Razan A-Najar,
a nurse that was shot in her back during the Great March of Return
on the Gaza separation fence. The ceremony will take place in the
location of Salameh, Razan’s families village from which they were
expelled in 1948. [ak] | 3/7/2018 |
