Ha’aretz: Once a Messiah, Trump Could Turn Out to Be the Israeli Right’s Worst Nightmare
Chemi Shalev writes: Trump could turn out to be the Israeli right wing’s worst nightmare. Obama had to take into account the pro-Israel lobby, the Republican-led Congress and the staunch Israel supporters in his own Democratic Party. Netanyahu exploited them all.

Anti-BDS bills fast-tracked in NY State Senate
Palestine Legal: Three anti-BDS bills were fast-tracked out of committee and passed today (March 8, 2017) without debate by the New York State Senate. These bills are blatantly unconstitutional attacks on First Amendment rights to protest and dissent. They resurrect widely-condemned tactics used to undermine democracy: creating blacklists, punishing dissent, attacking academic freedom, and cracking down on student organizing…
Gideon Levy: Israel Loves Wars
Writing in Ha’aretz, Levy writes: Israel loves wars. Needs them. Does nothing to prevent them, and sometimes instigates them. Since the 1948 war, all its wars were wars of choice. It’s reasonable to assume that the next war will break out in Gaza. The alibi is already prepared…
