A new report by human rights group B’Tselem calling Israel an apartheid state will make it harder to smear Israel’s critics as antisemites for arguing that the Jewish state is a racist endeavour.

A report that the Gulf state is considering a plan to help eliminate the UN agency caring for millions of Palestinian refugees should be taken seriously.

Netanyahu picks an ex-army general who has regularly called for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians as the next head of Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, as he seeks to forge even closer ties to ultra-nationalist world leaders.

The story of the Gulf’s Abraham Accords is not simply one of turning a blind eye to Israel’s decades-long oppression of Palestinians, but of actively becoming partners with Israel and the settlers in carrying out that oppression.

Mike Pompeo’s statements equating both criticism of Israel and peaceful boycotts of its settlements as ‘antisemitic’ marks the logical endpoint of a new foreign policy consensus that is rapidly taking shape in the US and Europe.

With his corruption trial bearing down on him, Netanyahu seeks to smash apart the alliance of Palestinian parties in Israel known as the Joint List, in the hope of cementing permanent rule by the far-right.

The EHRC’s deeply flawed antisemitism report holds Corbyn to an impossible standard. Labour was expected to demonstrate ‘zero tolerance’ on antisemitism, but his team are now accused of discrimination for having tried to make good on that pledge.

The experience of Palestinians online points to a future in which tech giants like Facebook, Google and Twitter gain ever greater control over all of us – over what we know and what we are allowed to think, and over who is visible and who erased.

Biden represents the Democratic party’s old guard, beholden to powerful donors. Israel is one particularly stark illustration of how, unless the party adapts to new, more principled thinking, it is heading towards a war with its grassroots that could tear it apart.

Netanyahu has issued an unprecedented apology over the killing of a Palestinian in 2017, admitting Israeli officials covered up their role in his death. But the Israeli PM’s remarks don’t just belatedly expose a police crime, they expand and deepen the lies

Israel has waged a long war against Palestinian history. Today, archives are sealed up, Palestinians are penalised in the law courts, the past is rewritten for the classroom, and reality is erased from the maps produced by digital behemoths like Google and Apple.

For Netanyahu, a strategic alliance with the Gulf has always been about more than just grabbing the occupied territories. It is central to his vision of an unreformed, maximalist, ethnic supremacist, Israeli state secure in the Middle East, serving as a regional hegemon alongside US global power.

The rapidly growing demonstrations against Netanyahu have yet to draw a connection between his personal abuses of office and the systemic corruption of Israeli politics, with the occupation its beating heart.

Antisemitism in the Labour party is making headlines once again – but this time it’s the party’s new leader, Keir Starmer, not the media or the Israel lobby, dragging Jeremy Corbyn’s name though the mud.

The Jewish National Fund has won plaudits for its environmental work, but its real mission – pursued to this very day – is uprooting Palestinians on behalf of the Israeli state, not planting trees.

Peter Beinart’s argument – that a commitment to Israel is now entirely incompatible with a commitment to equality for the region’s inhabitants – is a potential hammer blow to the delusions of liberal Jews in the United States.

Tzipi Hotovely’s appointment as Israel’s new ambassador to the UK has put British Jews uncomfortably on the back foot. With Corbyn the bogeyman gone, they will finally have to face harsh truths about Israel they have deeply buried.

After making so much of annexation during three election campaigns, Netanyahu will not be forgiven by many on the right should he fail to capitalise on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grab the title deeds to occupied Palestinian land with US blessing.

Through sacking Long-Bailey, Starmer has shown he is determined to tightly delimit criticism of Israel within Labour as the annexation issue unfolds. Like Johnson, Starmer will play his allotted role in this political game of charades – one long understood and tolerated by Israel and its UK lobbyists.
