Gaza's death toll is enormous and its battle is against a continued occupation - a partial occupation since the disengagement, but an occupation nonetheless.

I am a little journalist who partially misappropriates his role and betrays his mission. I run around the south, between the sites of destruction and traumatized residents, but to Gaza I do not go.

The Palestinians try three different approaches, weapons, diplomacy and nonviolent resistance, and Israel says no to all three.

Were Yacimovich and Lapid to speak out now - yes, now, before the election - about the dangers of the occupation, they might lose a few votes, but they would be fulfilling a historic task.

No, Israel is not an apartheid state, but the occupation in the territories is apartheid.

Israel needs a furious and determined American president - that is its last chance to save itself from the curse of the occupation - and the second Obama is expected to have greater self-confidence and be less concerned with considerations of survival than the first Obama.

The level of Israeli politics has already been decided: With Moshe Kahlon as the great promise, need we say more?

Lapid the statesman is Lapid from television - made up entirely of similes, gimmicks and bullshit.

The headline of a news article last week was misleading. Most Israelis do support an apartheid regime, but only if the occupied territories are annexed; however, most Israelis oppose such annexation.

If Lieberman succeeds, we can begin to say farewell to Israeli democracy.

One-third of Israelis want to deny Arab citizens the right to vote; about half of Israelis favor a policy of 'transferring' Arabs out of the country; and a majority says there is apartheid here. We need to finally give up on the hope that things will get better.

Who came up with the idea of calculating the caloric intake for 1.5 million people under siege in Gaza?

There are outstanding statesmen in Jerusalem - Netanyahu is of course the most outstanding and courageous - who want to make peace so much.

The elections are going to be boring. They will be boring because no one will do anything new. They are going to be boring because most of the future players are past players.

No printed newspaper would rush to publish that Gideon Levy's father collaborated with the Nazis, but such a story recently appeared online.

By opposing the marking of products from the settlements, Jerusalem is telling European consumers they should not make a distinction and in this way is exposing all Israeli produce to a boycott.

Yes, bitter resistance to Israel will always remain, but Israel does not lift a finger to lessen it except to make threats.

A female Israeli soldier kills a terrorist - and the entire country goes wild with excitement over the heroine of the moment.

The voice of the woman who was the embodiment of Israeli arrogance emanates from more throats now than it has for a long time.

If Israel wants justice for refugees, let us give justice to them all, to all the refugees of this horrible conflict, from Baghdad to Jaffa

One must also acknowledge the one-quarter-full glass.

We send our thanks from Tel Aviv for saving us, even if it is only from an assault on Iran.

Most of the media is tainted with 50 shades of yellow, in addition to nationalistic blue-and-white and militaristic brown.

The most moral army in the world, of the Middle East's only democracy, does not give 20 bereft African migrants imprisoned for a week between the fences of Israel's southern border food.

When comparing the similarities and differences between the occupation regime in the territories and the apartheid regime in South Africa, one must include the endings: There, it is a good one, while here an ending seems so far away.
