The Madleen is a PR stunt designed to make Israel look bad and give @GretaThunberg and her friends another round of self-righteous headlines. Israel must stop the boat - allowing it into Gaza sets a dangerous precedent for future ships, some of which will try to smuggle weapons.

To understand why Israel is now arming a Gaza militia, we need to look back at Netanyahu’s Gaza strategy over the past 16 years. When he returned to power in 2009, Netanyahu promised to topple Hamas. But once in office, especially after Operation Cast Lead, he shifted course. He

So now Israel is actively arming a new militia in Gaza, handing out AK-47s and other weapons to a group it hopes will stand up to Hamas. If that sounds reckless, it’s because it is. But more than that, it’s a sign that the government still has no coherent plan for Gaza and that

600 days to the war and hard to comprehend that there are still hostages languishing in Hamas captivity. But let’s not forget who started this war and how it can end today - Hamas gives back our people and lays down its arms. On @cnni with @vausecnn. https://t.co/Y05RaPUOkf

While Israelis argue over whether Netanyahu legitimately did or didn’t appoint a new Shin Bet chief, the world is watching something else entirely: a constant stream of heartbreaking images from Gaza, broadcast around the clock. And when Israeli officials finally appear on media

The exact definition of ‘nuclear threshold state’ which - not that we needed a reminder - underscores the severity of the situation. By the way, Abbasi survived an alleged Israeli assassination plot in 2010 when a motorcyclist attached a bomb to his car as he drove to work.
