There is a sense that the transgressions of Israelis are so grave that they have lost their right to grieve over their own very real tragedies.

The Palestinian Prime Minister's plan for statehood not only represents a blueprint to address inherent problems, but it is the first outline for a viable homeland based on freedom, democracy, non-violence and international law.

Naomi Klein: We Don't Feel Like Celebrating with Israel This Year

When I heard the Toronto International Film Festival was holding a celebratory "spotlight" on Tel Aviv I felt ashamed of my city. This matches Israel's stated propaganda goals to a T.

Every nation in the world should learn from Israel and hold their politicians accountable.

You argue with everyone, don't you? This is a GOOD thing for Israel...we shouldn't support corrupt politicians just because we support Israel, should we?

Ironically, this brings respect to Israel from her Arab neighbors. Egyptian writer Abdel Aziz Mahmoud wrote: ""I don't think we will live to see the day when the police interrogate an Arab leader for sexually harassing his secretary or receiving bribes," he wrote. "Nor will our children and grandchildren live to see that day. What happened in Israel can never happen in any Arab country."
