Nous le disions en octobre 2023 et cela ne change pas:
"Nous voudrions porter la voix des organisations se battant pour la paix : B’Tselem, Standing Together, Breaking the Silence, de Zehava Galon, Dov Khenin, Michael Sfard, de Vivian Silver".

I was busy with careful joy because of the promise of the hostages release and the end of war, but apparently there are bad news too.
According to Netanyahu's Office, Marwan Barghouti will not be released in the deal.
And yet, more than ever, #FreeMarwanBarghouti

"Now, the #PTSD is routinely featured on morning news shows and in mainstream cultural events.

“There is no household in Israel without this thing … this thing that grows in darkness, in shame, in silence,” said Udi Kagan, (אודי כגן) in a stand-up monologue."

... and yet, 32% of American Jews think that Netanyahu's leadership is great. Well. Maybe the gap is not widening enough after all.

The split between the US diaspora and Israel seems to be widening (it's close to obvious, but still, interesting numbers from Washington Post).

Trump: "we are close" to a peace deal in Gaza, and said he'll push to finalize it in the next few days.
"I said, 'Bibi, this is your chance for victory.' He was fine with it," Trump said. "He's got to be fine with it. He has no choice. With me, you got to be fine."

The coalition bloc +1 – 49 seats.
The opposition bloc has a majority - 61, even without the Arab parties (stable 10).
Bennett – plus 2 seats (22 now)
The Democrats down from 12 to 10
Eisenkot down from 9 to 7
The depressing increase for Otzma Yehudit – from 7 to 9
Likud loses one seat (25 now).

What do you think is the chance that President Trump's plan will actually be implemented?

14% – yes, high chance
40% – some positive probability
30% – not very probable
15% – don't know

(Poll after the Trump/Netanyahu press conference).

Netanyahu has stated his support for President Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza. What is your position?

65% – Support Netanyahu's statement
11% – Oppose Netanyahu's statement
23% – Don't know

The only thing I believe in current politics is the consistency of Trump’s hatred for Obama. So I do believe that he is doing his best to stop this war and get this freaking Nobel Prize.
(I am less confident about Hamas' consistency though, but we will see)

Of course everyone (around me) to whom I am showing this is extatic, so I needed to show that there might be some limitation :)
But it is a really wonderful job on the question. A big implicit criticism of the Israeli, French and English polls framed to show that Palestine is not accepted as a state

Both Likud and the Democratic Party (Yair Golan) gain mandates, as compared to the last week. Golan is at 12 mandates.
Mindblowing : Ganz (Blue and White) is at 2,9% and Smotrich at 2,5%, neither is entering the Knesset today.

In several cities in Poland, the reading of the names of Palestinian children murdered in Gaza continued throughout Sunday. From 6 a.m. and until the last name of nearly 20,000 children is read.
Places: Warsaw, Gdańsk, Katowice, Toruń, and Olsztyn.

I was looking for some theoretical / philosophical materials on Selichot סליחות, pre-Kippur prayers for forgiveness.
And I found this in Yeshayahu Leibowitz. The coexistence of deep wisdom about human condition and superficial cruelty about earthly matters in some of the best minds (rav Kook, e.g).

Extreme views are heavily over-represented on social media

Social platforms’ tendency to reward hostile content creates incentives that systematically reward simplistic messages and extreme positions and this fuels populism www.ft.com/content/9251... via @jburnmurdoch.ft.com
