Ben-Dror Yemini is a senior journalist with the Hebrew daily Maariv who lectures about the spread and impact of anti-Israel propaganda.
The Yisrael Beytenu leader made waves with his pledge to only join a national unity government; while he may not have as many seats to his name as the ultra-Orthodox, he is more representative of Israeli society, and his recent obstinance in coalition talks proves he keeps his word
Uniting all the territory to the east and west of the Jordan River is not contrary to Palestinian aspirations, it is what they want as the first step on the road to a binational state to replace the State of Israel
Jerusalem municipality can make Jerusalem Day celebrations a festive event, that can unit the city, by preventing the controversial Flag Dance parade from passing through Palestinian quarters, with a violent and hate filled component setting the tone.
Yisrael Beytenu leader has been slandered by Likud and their ultra-Orthodox partners over his refusal to compromise on the new IDF draft law even though he is merely playing by the rules of the Haredi lawmakers
It is astonishing that World Health Organization is so concerned by impact of occupation on Palestinian health, when they have high life expectancy and low infant mortality, while the nations behind this rush to accuse Israel have a miserable public health record
The majority of Israelis reject such an annexation — even those who are not excited about a Palestinian state, to say the least.
German parliament’s decision to designate the movement, which promotes boycotts against Israel, as anti-Semitic is excellent news; however, it will remain purely symbolic as long as Germany continues funding pro-Palestinian groups with BDS-like policies
Peace can come when Palestinians recognize their responsibility for the Nakba brought upon them by the hardline approach of Nazi ally, Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini who rejected any compromise, spreading hate and bloodshed wherever he roamed

The current Israeli government has willingly sacrificed the security of residents along Israel’s Gaza border to achieve the extreme-right goal driving the whole country to the brink of disaster
The controversial caricature published by the Jewish-owned New York Times, showing Trump as a blind Jew walking his Netanyahu-looking dog, proves that anti-Israel agenda can evolve into something much bigger
The IDF makes mistakes, but the radical Left engages in pure slander; I cannot recall an incident in which a Nazi soldier shot at the legs of fleeing Jews or provided medical care for them; Jewish life expectancy did not rise under the Nazis nor did they enjoyed a sharp increase in education
Israel would benefit from a national unity government while a narrow coalition will continue down the wrong path leading ultimately to a bi-national state
Netanyahu’s supporters don’t believe his involvement in the submarine affair despite overwhelming evidence, but they blindly fall for unconfirmed, far-fetched claims about an alleged sex-tape on Benny Gantz’s hacked phone; this is the definition of agnotology – intentional seeding of ignorance
Israel is more than justified in responding harshly to Hamas’ provocations, but it is foolish to embark on yet another military campaign with an inevitable disappointing result we are so familiar with. Israel must first neutralize Hamas’ propaganda capability by generously offering economic benefits for Gaza if Hamas disarms.
