		<description><![CDATA[Human rights organizations are persecuted - simple as that - exactly in the name of the refusal to know. "It is forbidden to know" means that it is forbidden for our consciousness to move freely among the facts, the scenes, the voices, the options. All these were supposed to comprise the awareness of the Israeli who lives five minutes from these unimaginable things - 43 years of military dictatorship over another people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who carefully reads the debates about the military government in Arab-populated areas in the 1950s and ’60s will see that... security arguments are linked to preventing Arab farmers from entering the land in question...  Whatever the nature of the solution, from the Israeli point of view it always entails the removal of Arabs from areas where Jews live.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The threats uttered against a possible Palestinian declaration of independence by our leaders... let the Israeli sanctimony (usually tedious and belabored) drop to the floor for a moment... It exposed the ugly skeleton of force that gives only us freedom of speech... We are allowed to reiterate Israel's Declaration of Independence over and over. You are not allowed to do so with yours.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[The US] has no intention of being a "balanced mediator"... Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, allies of the final takeover of the West Bank, know very well that U.S. policy has not changed... The prevailing attitude of all U.S. administrations [is] essentially that any possible settlement must match the positions of the stronger party.  This is how the Americans abandoned the refugee issue, and this is why they abandoned the opposition to settlements.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Israeli democracy is being administered by four elites: the political elite (which includes influential journalists), the financial elite (which excels in extraordinary cowardice when it comes to opposing the powers that be), the military elite (whose power is greater than anyone would like to admit), and the academic elite (whose role is to legitimize the other three elites).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After years of total disdain for the international community, of violating laws and treaties while Israeli legal experts turn into a kind of public defense counsel for our generals, there are finally members of the military elite who can no longer travel to Switzerland to ski, or to the opera in Covent Garden, or to a high-tech exhibition in Spain, without first consulting their lawyers. And that's a good thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The name of this Israeli ethos is "who are you to tell us?" We are destroying Arab East Jerusalem? Who are you to tell us that it is wrong? We killed masses of Palestinians in Gaza? Who are you to tell us anything? We have maintained a brutal dictatorship in the territories for 42 years - longer than any other military occupation of the post-World War II era? Who are you to tell us? We're allowed. We're your victims. The past belongs to us. We will do as we please with it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The proposal by Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz to redo all signs so that even names written in Arabic will be transliterations of Hebrew (for example, the city known as Jaffa in English will now be written as Yafo on signs in Arabic, not Yaffa), was received like all other injuries to Arabs: easily - like Arab high-schoolers’ matriculation results or Arab infants’ high mortality rates.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aided by a carefully crafted narrative (by intellectuals on the Zionist left) we have been built as a nation that makes no room whatsoever for a contradictory private narrative, or at least an argument about sacred cows. Everyone is marching to the same drummer. The symbols are always ready. Anything that did not fit the "nationalist" template was rejected. Exodus? Good enough for us. The Struma affair? Only for advanced researchers. Deir Yassin? It was not "us" who did it, but "dissidents." The massacre of Sasa, Tiberias or Lod? A non-sequitor. Qibya? Forget about it! Sabra and Chatila? That can be remembered (Christians killing Muslims).]]></description>
