The Context That Goes Unmentioned in Coverage of the Soleimani Assassination
Rob Lipton | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Jan 2020

8 Jan 2020 – There are two primary issues I want to look at: how this event is playing out in the mainstream media (MSM), and the coverage (or lack thereof) of Israeli state actors, U.S. based support, and individual Trump supporters who pushed for and/or were instrumental in implementing this blatant act of war.

Former Israel Commander Says Israel’s ‘Unjust’ War in Palestine Fuels ‘Anti-Semitism around the World’
Philip Weiss | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 18 Nov 2019

5 Nov 2019 – Last week a former Israeli security official urged American Jews to restrain Israel’s “unjust” war in Palestine because it fuels anti-Semitism around the world. The statement is remarkable because that view is generally seen as anathema: saying that Israel’s actions have any role in the growth of anti-Semitism.

Israelis Were ‘Saddened’ to Have to Kill Gaza Protesters, to Avert ‘Bloodbath’
Philip Weiss | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Oct 2019

4 Oct 2019 – Have you watched reports of the Chinese government’s response to protesters in Hong Kong? The fact that the violent protesters hurl bricks and molotovs is treated as just another form of protest. Contrast those stories to the sympathetic coverage of Israel killing 200 protesters at the Gaza fence and maiming hundreds of others. American Jews think of Judaism as a universal religion, but for Israelis, Judaism is a Jewish nation centered in Israel whose survival is at stake with the right of return of Palestinian refugees.

An Answer to the Question, ‘Why Do You Care so much about Palestine/Israel?’
Joel Doerfler | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 10 Jun 2019

Had I been a staunch defender of Israel the student probably wouldn’t have found my emotional investment surprising. Especially since I was avowedly Jewish it would have seemed to him “normal” for me to be teaching a class extolling Zionism and Israel. But what could be driving a Jew to invest so much critical energy in the subject? It was an honest question.

Report: Leaked Draft of Trump’s Peace Plan Reveals Creation of ‘New Palestine,’ Promises to Join Israel in Next War in Gaza if Palestinians Reject
Allison Deger | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 May 2019

7 May 2019 – If the PLO accepts the plan and Hamas or Islamic Jihad in Gaza reject it, the document warns “the U.S. will back Israel to personally harm leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad” in a future escalation, and will hold Hamas’ leadership “responsible in another round of violence between Israel and Hamas.”

The Gaza Blockade Is Illegal– And So Is the Use of Force to Maintain It
Norman G. Finkelstein | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 16 Jul 2018

7 Jul 2018 – Is it not a tad unseemly, not to say unsettling, for the representative of a respected human rights organization [Human Rights Watch] to coach Israel how to stay within the letter of the law—before resorting to bullets, you must first try “tear gas, skunk water, and rubber-coated steel pellets”—while it’s herding two million people, half of them children, in an unlivable space in which they are slowly being poisoned?

Ali Is on the Grill!’ Israeli Settlers Celebrate Burning of Palestinian Baby
Jonathan Ofir | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 25 Jun 2018

21 Jun 2018 – There’s something particularly disturbing about celebrating the burning alive of a baby. This is precisely what Israeli Jewish settlers were doing yesterday, outside the court in Lod. “’Ali was burned, where is Ali? Ali is on the grill!” they chanted, in reference to the 18-month old baby Ali Dawbsheh, who was burnt alive by Jewish terrorists in the West Bank town of Duma.

Israeli Support for Myanmar Is the Natural Alliance of Regimes Based on Ethnic Supremacy
David Lloyd | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Oct 2017

What has not been reported in the mainstream news is the fact that, even during this ongoing genocidal campaign against its Muslim population, Myanmar has been supplied with weaponry by Israel. This is by no means the first time Israel has supplied repressive regimes with the tools of their trade, from apartheid South Africa to Pinochet’s Chile and the Guatemalan dictatorship: its weapons industry, indeed, proudly boasts of the fact that its products come well “field tested”–against Palestinians.

A Brief History of the ‘Nakba’ in Israel
Eitan Bronstein Aparicio | Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 23 May 2016

This text describes the discourse on the Nakba — mostly the concept but also the historical event — in Israel. When did it appear? When did it decline and was repressed? What caused these changes? It deals with the attitude towards the Nakba in Hebrew and does not attempt to describe the attitudes and changes it went through in Arabic and in the Arab world.

Why Did Brookings Institution Hold a Secret Panel Countering BDS?
Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Dec 2015

Americans should be asking why such a conference is taking place behind closed doors at a leading liberal thinktank– and why it’s tackling BDS, which Israeli leaders have termed an “existential” threat to Israel. The gathering is a reflection of the power of the Israel lobby in Washington.

Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss – TRANSCEND Media Service, 25 May 2015

“I do remember the story of President Truman was asked, How do you feel after deciding to launch the nuclear bombs, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, causing at the end the fatalities of 200,000, casualties?
