Sheikh Jarrah

The superficial Israeli political discourse on Jerusalem’s future has boiled the question down to the question of whether the city should be divided, yes or no. But this framing is misleading.

Muslim volunteer medics at non-profit United Hatzalah recount harrowing close calls in Jerusalem, where they saved lives of both Jewish Israelis and Palestinians.

The High Court of Justice notified the state that it did not intend to ignore the issue of the pending eviction of four Palestinian families from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.

Our governments are too cowardly, they will not do what is genuinely necessary – to engage, to talk, to work together, to dream and plan for the best possible ways to share this land.

The "freedom march" was a joint demonstration of Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians who were calling for peace and an end to Israeli military presence in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The foundation for this highly emotional Palestinian revolt is the wide-spread fundamentalism of Islamist Hamas, enriched by the internal rivalry between the latter and Fatah.

This is certainly not the first time that the “single point of failure” narrative has been wielded to explain a campaign of organized Palestinian or Arab-Israeli violence.

All that the Palestinian terrorists, together with their Islamist backers, had been waiting for was an excuse, or a series of excuses, to provoke a fresh confrontation.

Just a few weeks after the Israeli Tourism Ministry announced a multi-pronged plan to restart inbound tourism, rockets began firing from Gaza, slamming the industry so soon after the coronavirus.
