Efforts to to discredit Israel's Civil Commission report on sexual violence on October 7 – or the New York Times' report on sexual abuse of Palestinians – both rely on the dangerous notion that these instances are uniquely evil @dahliasc.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

One doctor wrote on X: "This is what people in Gaza talk about now: Food. How to get aid. How to get rid of the rats living inside their tents. How to survive the unbearable heat of summer under fabric roofs." @dahliasc.bsky.social reports @haaretzcom.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/gaza/2026-05...

Israel continues to expand its de facto borders (Gaza, Lebanon, of course the West Bank) and is adding more and more non-citizens over whom it rules. "This," writes @dahliasc.bsky.social, constitutes "regime change" as it moves away from being "a potential democracy". www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This interview with @dahliasc.bsky.social starts off with what sounds like conventional analysis of Israeli electoral politics and then cuts to the heart of the incoherence of maintaining so-called liberal so-called democracy without dismantling the occupation

The state of Israel is not facing existential threat. No country is. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The important distinction made in this column btwn 'existential threat' and 'real security threats' probably won't convince most Israelis. And that's because, as @dahliasc.bsky.social notes, Israel is "a country of people traumatized by centuries of persecution". www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Why the war in Iran is becoming less popular and why Netanyahu isn’t getting a war-bump in the polls? @dahliasc.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"A close read," writes @dahliasc.bsky.social, "reveals that the aim of [these expressions of concern] is to name-check 'we said something,' in order to avoid 'we did something' – in order to keep Israel's whole annexation and expulsion program going." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The crux of the matter. No outcome in #Iran will give #Israel peace or peace of mind until it faces #Palestinians right here at home, as a people and a nation, with all that entails. @dahliasc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New Order from Ashes pod @centuryintl.bsky.social @abujamajem.com in Beirut and @dahliasc.bsky.social in Tel Aviv on the strains of another round of total Israeli war on Lebanon; Israel's aims; and why this cycle of violence is likely to continue. thecenturyfoundation.podbean.com/e/forever-wa...

The changes made this week by Israel's Security Cabinet seem colorless, but "to understand Israel's big-picture policy regarding Palestinians, the administrative bureaucracy matters more than the big headlines about violent settlers," observes @dahliasc.bsky.social. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"If [the logo] opens a critical conversation about Palestinian statehood in Israel – it's about time," columnist @dahliasc.bsky.social wrote in Haaretz today: "Maybe one day, some Israeli leader will give different answers" that those of the present prime minister. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Analysis by @dahliasc.bsky.social in @haaretzcom.bsky.social: "This government and its closest allies have been more explicit & open about their aim to own all of Mandate Palestine...Israel's leaders aren't trying to fudge this – they're shouting it from the rooftops" www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

To be truly meaningful, the kernels of Jewish-Arab solidarity recently displayed in Sakhnin and Tel Aviv must be nurtured over the months ahead, certainly in order to replace the current Bibi/Ben-Gvir government and its policies, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The Moral Depravity of 'Why Aren't They Demonstrating for Iran?' @dahliasc.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The great @dahliasc.bsky.social did just that (checked the polls, that is) and concludes that Netanyahu is gaslighting the public: Contrary to Bib's claims, a consistent 2-1 majority backs an independent Supreme Court justice-led commission of inquiry for October 7. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"The prime minister is trying to convince the Israeli public that they don't want an independent state commission of inquiry to investigate the events of October 7, when all polls show that they do" writes @dahliasc.bsky.social on @haaretzcom.bsky.social #netanyahu

PODCAST: Reckoning or reverting? Israeli society after the ceasefire Dahlia Scheindlin explores the lessons Israelis are drawing from two years of war, and explains why international pressure is the only path to a political settlement. Listen now 🎙️ www.972mag.com/podcast-reck...

How Israel's 'hasbara paradigm' collapsed in Gaza @dahliasc.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

As the ceasefire agreement went into effect between Israel and Hamas, PWH asked Penn experts to provide their thoughts of the ceasefire plan, if they thought the plan was likely to last, & what the next steps are to achieving peace between Israel and Hamas. perryworldhouse.upenn.edu/news-and-ins...

It's right to fear that the Palestinians will be sold out, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social - but that's "not inevitable ... If [the ceasefire plan] is all we have, take [it], end the war now, then do everything possible to advance genuine peace" not provided by it. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“Like their current leaders, the large majority of Israeli Jews do not empathize with the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza,” writes @dahliasc.bsky.social. “The hardening of views about Palestinians reflects longer-term trends in Israeli society.”

“when it comes to Israeli intransigence regarding Palestinians, the prime minister alone is not the problem. The problem is Israeli society, politics, and culture as it has evolved over decades.” @dahliasc.bsky.social in @foreignaffairs.com reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/08/13/i...

The 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the war in #Bosnia offers important lessons for #Israel-Palestine, writes @dahliasc.bsky.social. Yes, while generally blasted by media, Bosnia & its inter-ethnic relations are one of biggest post-war successes of the last 50 yrs. www.ft.com/content/b48b...

This piece, by @dahliasc.bsky.social, gives a very good and accurate overview of how right wing Israeli public opinion has become over the past decade, and why Netanyahu is not an outlier. These are my takeaways - and differences. 1/ www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/israe...

“Removing Netanyahu from power might well help bring an end to the unfolding disaster in Gaza,” writes ‪@dahliasc.bsky.social‬. “But it is unlikely to fundamentally reorient Israeli policies toward the Palestinians.”

Always read @dahliasc.bsky.social: “Removing Netanyahu from power…is unlikely to fundamentally reorient Israeli policies toward the Palestinians or to present a true alternative to the…policies of…suppressing Palestinian self-determination.” www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/israe...

Please read: @dahliasc.bsky.social on the furious, distracting debate on use of the term ‘genocide’ for the Netanyahu govt's actions in Gaza. Terminology battles become ends in themselves. Description of what's happening is more effective. Stopping it is what matters. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“Israel's recently unveiled plan—to force 600,000 displaced Palestinians into a ‘humanitarian city’ to be established on a strip of land where Rafah once stood—raises critical, and chilling, questions about the Netanyahu government’s intentions for Gaza.” Must-read piece by @dahliasc.bsky.social.

"The poll is a messenger, not a provocateur; the findings are an emergency wake-up call that things can still get much worse." Always read @dahliasc.bsky.social free link: www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

In a new CI report, fellow @dahliasc.bsky.social‬ argues that the economic inequity at the heart of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict must be addressed as part of any long-term plan for peace and reconstruction. (5/6)

Policymakers seeking an Israeli–Palestinian political agreement must develop an economic vision focused on reducing inequalities to undergird any solution intended to last. Read more from @dahliasc.bsky.social‬ tcf.org/content/repo... (6/6)

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is, at least as much as anything else, a clash between the haves and the have-nots. A new CI report from @dahliasc.bsky.social‬ explains how. (1/6)

Sustainable peace in Israel-Palestine requires addressing economic inequity. Distant as an end to the war may seem, this report from @dahliasc.bsky.social and @centuryintl.bsky.social argues that policymakers must plan now for equitable reconstruction.

In Netanyahu's carefully constructed parallel universe, he is never at fault nor takes responsibility. But an empire of lies can eventually collapse – just ask con artist Anna Delvey / @dahliasc.bsky.social
