The Occupation's Dark Underbelly Exposed Surveillance helps confine millions of Palestinians to their territorial ghettos, ensures their total dependence on Israel, and even forces some to serve as undercover go-betweens for Israel, buying land to help the settlements expand. Palestinians who resist risk jail or execution.

How 20 tents rocked Israel -- Palestinians take the fight to their occupiers A group of 250 ordinary Palestinians set up a tent encampment they intended to convert into a new Palestinian village called Bab al-Shams, or Gate of the Sun. In a sign of how disturbed Israel is by such acts of popular resistance, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the the occupants removed in a dawn raid--although his own courts had issued a six-day injunction against the government's "evacuation" order.

Annexation may provide the key to unlocking Netanyahu's legal troubles The principle of victor-takes-all has been established in Washington. The question, therefore, is increasingly not whether, but what kind of annexation Netanyahu plans. It will most likely be done in stages and not referred to as annexation but rather "extending Israeli sovereignty".

Law to Keep Jews and Arabs Apart: Apartheid Israel-Style The pretty two-storey home with a red-tiled roof built by Adel and Iman Kaadan looks no different from the rows of other houses in Katzir, a small hilltop community in northern Israel close to the West Bank. But, unlike the other residents of Katzir, the Kaadans moved into their dream home this month only after a 12-year battle through the Israeli courts.

Youtube becomes Israel's new battleground against Palestinians Most Palestinian videos are simply a record of their bitter experiences of occupation at the hands of soldiers and settlers. It is these experiences, not the videos, that drive Palestinians to breaking point. A "war on incitement" waged through YouTube and Facebook won't change Palestinian suffering. But it may, Mr Netanyahu presumably hopes, conceal Israel's brutality from the eyes of the world.

A history of silencing Israeli army whistleblowers -- from 1948 until today In recent decades a few brave Israeli scholars have chipped away at the official facade. In the late 1990s a Haifa University student collected testimonies from former soldiers confirming that over 200 Palestinians had been massacred at Tantura, south of Haifa. After the findings were made public, he was pilloried and stripped of his degree.

Security ties between Palestinians and Israel begin to fray The fragile nature of the security relationship was underscored last month when Netanyahu told his cabinet that Israel was preparing for the possibility that the PA, to which the security services answer, may collapse.

In the West Bank, Israel's "charity" comes at a price Israel's tourism video is designed to reverse the Oslo accords, which held out a false promise two decades ago that the Palestinians would one day enjoy statehood and self-determination. Israel's micromanagement of the territories is now such that it is even taking responsibility for attracting visitors to Palestine.

UN Bid Heralds Death of Palestine's Old Guard Amid the enthusiastic applause in New York and the celebrations in Ramallah, it was easy to believe -- if only a for minute -- that, after decades of obstruction by Israel and the United States, a Palestinian state might finally be pulled out of the United Nations hat. Will the world's conscience be midwife to a new era ending Israel's occupation of the Palestinians?

A Palestinian call for "unarmed warfare" The power of disciplined non-violent resistance, Mubarak Awad says, is that it forces on the occupier a heavy burden: to "deal with our willingness to stand up for ourselves with nothing but our bodies and hearts." Awad argues that it is precisely by demonstrating an irrepressible humanity that Palestinians can again discover hope, reclaim their dignity and win freedom.

Palestinian Citizens Wearily Eye Israeli Elections The "center-left" is starting to panic, fearing that the momentum of the shift rightwards may soon prove unstoppable. Without concerted action to shore up a credible opposition to Netanyahu, Israel is hurtling towards full-blown fascism at home and pariah status abroad.

Netanyahu and Gantz are two sides of the same coin Netanyahu's electioneering has rarely been subtle. But after Israel's attorney general announced during the campaign that the prime minister faced corruption indictments, Netanyahu has had every incentive to plumb new depths. His officials have stated that his main rival, Benny Gantz, a general he once appointed as military chief of staff, is mentally unstable. One Likud video showed Gantz's head emerging from a cuckoo clock.

The Samson complex Once the US formally abandons the peace process, the current status quo intensifies: a single state ruled over apartheid-style by Israel, with a Palestinian Authority consigned to irrelevance or oblivion. Another round of failed peacemaking will do far more damage to the Palestinians and Washington's reputation than to an Israel that never intended to pick up the phone in the first place.

The media smoothed the path to British soldiers using Corbyn as target practice The political and media elites don't really care whether politicians are assaulted, vilified or threatened -- at least, not if it is the kind of politician who threatens their power. They aren't seriously worried about attacks on democracy, or about political violence, or about the rottenness at the core of state institutions. Their outrage is selective. It is rooted not in principle, but in self-interest.

If They Fail, Peace Talks Will Only Deepen Crisis For Palestinians There is also something puzzling about a peace process driven by a nine-month timetable rather than the logic of the negotiations. The most worrying indication that the US is heading down the same failed path is the announcement of Martin Indyk's return as mediator. Mr Indyk, a long-time Israel lobbyist, has been intimately tied to previous diplomatic failures.
