The Third Narrative

RT @dfleshler: "If U.S. says talk of sanctioning Israel is `premature,' doesn't that mean it's possible?" at http://bit.ly/S1HLV

While the world has been focusing on the Gaza war, Israel’s right wing government has taken alarming new steps to expand West Bank settlements and their infrastructure. thirdnarrative.org/new-report-pea…

Latest post addresses the distressing, appalling fact that sending more humanitarian aid to Gaza is politically unpopular in Israel...although there is a constituency that wants to help...thirdnarrative.org/why-dont-more-…

Glimmers of hope for those who think the intubation tube has finally been pulled out of the 2-state solution... thirdnarrative.org/palestinian-vo…

Dan Fleshler shares his struggle with what he's seeing in Gaza, and explores Israel's conduct in relation to the "Laws of War." thirdnarrative.org/my-heart-strug…

Some equate Zionism, since its inception, with "European settler colonialism." Sam Fleischacker shows that while there are similarities, there are also key differences.thirdnarrative.org/does-zionismse…

@NoamShelef @dfleshler I suppose, but the sanctions that are politically feasible (right now) will be pretty tepid, like the visa waiver.

While protesting now against the annexationist Israeli government, pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian progressives also need to have hope for the future. That means new approaches to the Right of Return and other thorny issues. thirdnarrative.org/new-approaches…

Much of the debate about how to define and combat antisemitism has focused on Israel and Zionism. In The Third Narrative, some smart professors discuss the connection between (lingering) Christian theology, anti-Judaism and white supremacy.thirdnarrative.org/christian-supe…

"Has the working definition of antisemitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance actually reduced antisemitism anywhere?" Good one from Steve Sheffey. thirdnarrative.org/against-overus…

Will the struggle to salvage Israeli democracy bolster support for democratic rights from the "River to the Sea?" Who knows? Anything's possible...thirdnarrative.org/democracy-or-d…

J Street U's Ronnie Shashoua on obstacles to "change-making discourse" on campus about Israel-Palestine, and how to overcome them. It's in the new website of The Third Narrative. @jstreetu thirdnarrative.org/on-promoting-p…
