Ehud Barak returns with a new party. Because what we need is to split the "just not Bibi" votes.

I'm not sure if people here are following this, but tension among the Ethiopian community has been simmering for a while, especially after widespread demonstrations a few months back, and a recent killing of a teenager by a police officer has resulted in outright rioting. Major roads were blocked off. This is just the latest where a few of them are turning over a parked police car: https://twitter.com/kann_news/status/1146203570187972608 Others flipping over a police car with cops in it: https://twitter.com/newsisrael13/status/1146156301543706626 Burning cars in many locations, including Tel Aviv: https://twitter.com/AmichaiStein1/status/1146143155554803713 Media is overall sympathetic to them, although some right-wingers are blaming a left-wing plot.

There is a strong undercurrent of racial tension that usually goes unnoticed and unacknowledged among the non-black majority in israeli society, Just in case you thought discrimination is limited to israeli-arab relations. It was only a matter of time. If the Rodney King riots and the societal response since are any indication things are not going to get fixed anytime soon.

I don't know, last time there was widespread protest among the Arab population, in October 2000, police responded with live ammunition and 13 civilians were killed, 3 on the first day. Reporting and official government response were also way less sympathetic.

'cept this is not America, even if Israeli society likes them. If you ask me*, the only thing that will solve this is time - when the current generation was born in Israel, and their parents were either born here or immigrated when they were young, . We are still in the latter gen, so I think it'll be done around when my kids will enlist. Until then, we will have problems, and we will need to adress them. This is to be expected, sadly. ...What isn't to be expected, however, is Bibi using them as a bargaining chip. *I'm not Beta Israel, or educated on the matter -so don't ask me.

No. Time wont fix this. Like every other time in all of history, people fighting for acceptance and their rights will. No oppressed group of people have ever gained much without organization and direct action. But, Since Ethiopian Jews/Beta Israel are full citizens of Israel with full rights rather than an imprisoned underclass of others the state has carte blanche to oppress, this will go better for them. I would have posted some allegory about if Palestinians did the same and flipped and torched a police car but most would only have military APCs to try and flip.

The thugs who are running Israel are heavy handed and pretty ignorant about how this is going to make them look and just how their fellating Trump makes them look. We can only hope they see consequences from it down the line.

Is this better or worse than the way we treat Arab members of the Knesset (ie repeatedly trying to get them jailed)? But yeah, both are terrible and I can only hope that this current emboldening will have some comeuppance, rather than Bibi getting 10 extra mandates in the coming elections because we just love racism here so much.

Powerful stuff, for which he still got painted as a literal nazi. If Bernie or another actual leftist with the guts to remotely criticize Israel starts showing a shot at winning the nomination, they're gonna get the Corbyn treatment lickety split.

Obama does this with Israel's security. Look how many times "security" is mentioned in this White House press release. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2016/09/14/us-making-historic-investment-protect-security-israel quote:The U.S. Is Making a Historic Investment to Protect the Security of Israel quote:This commitment to Israel’s security has been unwavering and is based on a genuine and abiding concern for the welfare of the Israeli people and the future of the State of Israel quote:We are proud that no other American administration in history has done more for Israel’s security. quote:Today, we’re making another unprecedented commitment to the security of Israel and the Israeli people quote:It’s a reminder of the United States’ unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security. quote:And greater certainty for Israel will breed greater security for Israel. quote:As we strengthen Israel’s security for the coming decade, we also remain committed to Israel’s security over the long-term. quote:Our security is linked—when allies and partners like Israel are more secure, the United States is more secure. Here's my theory. Obama wants to play it both ways. He can appease the pro-Israel crowd by saying he is committed to Israel's security. When the flip switches and the future becomes anti-Israel, Obama will come out and say "Well, I said I was only committed to the security of Israel. This is an alienable right attributed to all nations."

Nah, they focus on "security" because that's a key part of the Israeli narrative: that no matter how aggressive or expansionist or criminal Israel's actions may seem, it's all absolutely necessary for self-defense, and therefore anyone who criticizes them is actually seeking to destroy Israel by preventing it from defending itself. It's not at all unique to Obama; Israel itself commonly uses "security" as their justification for illegal or immoral activities.

Yeah, and we should keep in mind this is a habit of the Israeli left just as much as the reactionaries. Rabin favored the settlements because he thought they were necessary for "security".
