Most of these topics are over the (Green) line.
By way of a personal update.
Hardcopy I’ve read the past couple weeks:
Paul of Dune, the latest pre/sequel in the apocrypha of the original series, read it in 5 hours on the plane
With An Iron Pen: Twenty Years of Hebrew Protest Poetry, tearsomely heartrending
The Holocaust is Over by Avrum Burg, this book would have been [...]
Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor is spending every resource at his disposal attacking Human Rights Watch, the New Israel Fund, and a small number of NIF’s grantees. His refrain is demanding to know NIF’s “red lines” of what it won’t fund, hoping to discredit NIF in the eyes of Jewish American donors. There’s been a [...]
Comment I loved on JTA’s article about NIF:
NGO Monitor is an ultra right wing organization funded by right wing Jews in the US that fund Stand with Us and the Israel Project, together with evangelical Christians. It never has shown a single testimony of Breaking the Silence to be false; instead it goes after [...]

I don’t believe this is very important to mention, but it’s notable to me. JTA reported that the 22 organizations present at the Democratic Senators meeting included all three peace orgs, APN, Brit Tzedek and J Street, but weren’t invited to speak. However, the final speaker was a Chabad representative who offered some interesting words [...]
I just saw this on Mondoweiss, something which I’ve actually been searching for some time now, a Google map of the leaked IDF database.

You can also see a Google map of the roadblocks thanks to Machsom Watch.
Redacted from a comment I made on Jewschool which perhaps I’ve not made clear so far:
Let’s take a step back: neither I nor Breaking the Silence are in a battle to tarnish the IDF wantonly. It may feel that way. But I’m not. Because I’ve worked so closely with the Breaking the Silence staff, their patriotism is irrefutable [...]
