Q9F

List of articles I recently found interesting to read.

• The ‘pact of silence’ between Israelis and their media. Israel’s long-subservient media has spent the past year imbuing the public with a sense of righteousness over the Gaza war. Reversing this indoctrination, says media observer Oren Persico, could take decades.
• How Israeli education serves the occupation and genocide in Gaza. Anna Saif argues that Israel’s education system which erases & demonises Palestinians, is at the root of the hatred that drives its army to mercilessly kill.

• Anti-Zionism has existed since the beginning of Zionism. Molly Crabapple explains the radical history of the Jewish Labor Bund and what can be learned from the history of anti-Zionist tradition.
• The Zionist War on Yiddish in Palestine. My 2016 Master's Thesis: “Jewish Identity and Language Politics: Hebrew, Yiddish and the contemporary debates on Zionism” in Full

• How the creation of the ‘New Antisemitism’ was used to shield Israel and attack the Left. Challenges to Zionism in the late 1960s and 1970s sparked an effort to redefine antisemitism focused on defending Israel while attacking the political Left.
• The Israeli Right’s Long March Through the Media. How settlers took over the country’s press and transformed it into a vehicle for their movement
• How Kahanism found its way into the Israeli political mainstream. Genocidal rhetoric is not new to Israeli politics. But Gaza's destruction mirrors the apocalyptic language pouring out of the Knesset — where the establishment has gradually absorbed members of a former terrorist group.
