durée : 00:12:00 - Les Enjeux internationaux - par : Guillaume Erner - Hier, Donald Trump a reçu le Premier ministre israélien Benyamin Nétanyahou pour s'accorder sur un plan de paix pour Gaza. Après deux ans de guerre, que laisse présager ce plan pour l'avenir de la Palestine et d'Israël ? Nous recevons pour en parler l'ancien Premier ministre israélien Ehud Olmert. - réalisation : Félicie Faugère - invités : Ehud Olmert ancien premier ministre israélien

Difficile actuellement de savoir ce qui se passe dans la ville de Gaza, que les Palestiniens sont sommés d'évacuer vers le sud, par l'armée israélienne. Difficile, parce qu'Israël interdit toujours à la presse internationale de se rendre dans la bande de Gaza et de témoigner de ce qui s'y passe. On dispose donc de peu d'informations, actuellement, sur la situation à Gaza. Mais les journalistes palestiniens continuent de faire leur travail, au péril de leur vie. Et parmi les rares articles parus ces derniers jours, on a trouvé celui du site égyptien Mada Masr, repris par Courrier international, qui nous explique que fuir Gaza coûte cher, et devient parfois « impossible, faute de moyens ». Un obstacle de plus. 1 000 à 1 500 dollars la tente C'est une réalité à laquelle sont confrontés les Palestiniens, raconte Thaer Abu Aoun, l'auteur de l'article. « Même une simple tente, le seul toit dont disposent des milliers de familles coûte désormais très cher, de 1 000 à 1 500 dollars, selon la taille et la qualité », explique le journaliste. « Et une fois qu'on l'a acquise », poursuit-il, « il faut encore trouver un terrain disponible pour la monter. Or, les terrains sont contrôlés par des gangs armés, qui louent chaque parcelle au prix fort ». Israël assure pourtant avoir mis à disposition des Palestiniens « des zones vides à Al Mawasi où il est possible de s'installer ». Mais selon Philippe Lazzarini, Commissaire général de l'Office de secours et de travaux de l'UNWRA, l'Agence de l'ONU pour les réfugiés palestiniens, Al Mawasi est « un immense camp en pleine expansion qui concentre des Palestiniens affamés et désespérés ». Les difficultés sont telles que certains renoncent à quitter la ville de Gaza. D'autant, explique le journaliste Thaer Abu Aoun, « que beaucoup de Gazaouis considèrent que la totalité des zones de la bande de Gaza sont soumises aux bombardements, y compris les zones prétendument "humanitaires" ».  Un geste diplomatique fort C'est dans ce contexte, que la France s'apprête à reconnaître la Palestine. « Emmanuel Macron va reconnaître demain à l'ONU l'État Palestinien » annonce en Une la Tribune Dimanche, avec ce titre : « Le défi de l'histoire ». En illustration, la photo d'Emmanuel Macron et de Benyamin Netanyahu, ensemble mais la mine sévère, elle date de leur dernière rencontre à Jérusalem le 24 octobre 2023. La reconnaissance de l'État palestinien, c'est, pour la Tribune Dimanche, « un geste diplomatique fort pour dire stop aux massacres dans la bande de Gaza et porter l'espoir d'une paix entre Israéliens et Palestiniens, en relançant la solution à deux États ».  Mais, se demande le journal, « comment mettre en œuvre une telle feuille de route, alors qu'Israël vient de se lancer dans la conquête de la ville de Gaza et qu'en Cisjordanie, l'Autorité Palestinienne est plus affaiblie que jamais ? ». « Il y a dix jours », poursuit la Tribune Dimanche, Benyamin Netanyahu l'a encore affirmé : « Il n'y aura pas d'État palestinien ». Interrogé, l'un de ses prédécesseurs, Ehud Olmert, lui, ne s'y oppose pas, mais se demande : « La reconnaissance d'un État qui n'existe pas, est-elle plus constructive qu'un effort de la communauté internationale pour forcer dirigeants israéliens et palestiniens à s'assoir autour d'une table et mener un dialogue qui contribuerait à la création d'un État palestinien dans le cadre d'une solution globale ? ». « Plaie toujours ouverte » Un autre des prédécesseurs de Benyamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, est lui aussi interrogé, mais cette fois-ci par l'hebdomadaire le Point. Ehud Barak qui est franchement opposé à la reconnaissance de la Palestine. « La décision de la France renforce le Hamas » assure-t-il, estimant « qu'une paix durable ne peut être imposée de l'extérieur ». Ehud Barak rappelle encore « que le 7 octobre est une plaie toujours ouverte, une déflagration qui continue de résonner dans chaque foyer israélien ». De son côté, Marianne a rencontré le militant pacifiste israélien Ofer Bronchtein, c'est lui qui aurait convaincu Emmanuel Macron de reconnaître la Palestine. « Reconnaître la Palestine c'est, dit-il, combattre les extrémismes ». « S'il y avait eu un État palestinien, poursuit-il, le 7 octobre ne se serait pas produit (…) S'il y avait une souveraineté palestinienne, la responsabilité viendrait avec : le Hamas n'est pas une organisation responsable, c'est l'ennemi des Palestiniens ».   Avant qu'il soit trop tard Enfin, comment les Israéliens accueillent-ils la reconnaissance de la Palestine par la France ? Selon le Point « l'initiative française suscite un rejet massif et transpartisan ». L'hebdomadaire cite également une « source officielle israélienne », selon laquelle « S'il n'y avait pas eu le 7-Octobre, il n'y aurait pas eu de reconnaissance de l'État palestinien ». C'est dans le Point, également, que l'on peut lire l'interview de l'ex-négociateur palestinien Ghaith al-Omari. Et rares sont les responsables palestiniens interviewés par les hebdomadaires français cette semaine. Comment Ghaith al-Omari interprète-t-il l'initiative de la France ? « Il voit dans cette décision, le signe d'une inquiétude profonde, celle de voir s'évanouir, peut-être définitivement, la perspective d'une solution à deux États ». Une décision qui, dit-il également, « repose surtout sur une conviction : si rien n'est fait, il sera bientôt peut-être trop tard ». 

This week on One Decision, host Kate McCann welcomes Sir Ben Wallace, former UK Defence Secretary, to the podcast as a co-host. They discuss the recent Israeli strike in Qatar targeting senior Hamas officials and the repercussions of Israel attacking a country that's directly involved in peace negotiations between Hamas and Israel. Later, they welcome Ehud Olmert, former Israeli Prime Minister, who shares why he believes Israel's pursuit of “total victory” in Gaza is both unrealistic and dangerous. He recounts why Israel's top military leaders reject Netanyahu's strategy, warns of a mounting diplomatic backlash that could extend to sanctions and even sports boycotts, and insists only Donald Trump has the power to force a change of course. Plus, Olmert reflects on his own efforts to revive a two-state solution with Palestinian leaders.

Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert supported the war in Gaza when it began, but soon changed his mind. He advocated a limited military operation rather than a full-scale offensive. Now, he says it's time to end the war. He strongly opposes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to reoccupy Gaza and is on a mission to topple him at next year's legislative elections. Almost two years since Israel began its offensive in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed and swathes of the strip have been reduced to rubble. Mr Olmert says the military campaign in Gaza no longer has any attainable goals, while large numbers of Israelis are calling for a ceasefire and a deal to release the hostages. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to Mr Olmert about the current government's policies and what needs to happen to achieve a sustainable solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Israel's former prime minister Ehud Olmert says he is on a mission to help topple Benjamin Netanyahu. The US is offering new incentives for Lebanon. Riad Salameh is to be released from prison. On today's episode of Trending Middle East: Israel's Ehud Olmert on mission to topple Benjamin Netanyahu Beauty and beast versus 'animalistic' media: Barrack and Ortagus in awkward Beirut briefing Lebanon's ex-Central Bank chief Riad Salameh to be released on $20m bail This episode features Nada AlTaher, senior reporter; Nada Homsi, Beirut correspondent; and Nada Maucourant Atallah, Beirut correspondent.

Few people know the pressures of running Israel like Ehud Olmert. He was prime minister during the 2006 Lebanon war, in peace talks with the Palestinians in 2008 and (went) through a political crisis that ended with his resignation on corruption charges. Since leaving office, he has become one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fiercest critics, calling for him to face trial for war crimes. On this episode, we ask the former prime minister what he really thinks of Israel's current government, its extremist ministers and if Mr. Netanyahu's leadership has pushed Israel into dangerous isolation, even among its closest allies.

L'idea di “mettere i palestinesi a dieta” non è una provocazione, ma una strategia pianificata. Lo diceva già nel 2006 un consigliere dell'allora premier israeliano Ehud Olmert, e oggi lo confermano i numeri ufficiali. Secondo i dati riportati dal Guardian il 31 luglio 2025, Israele ha calcolato scientificamente quanto cibo serve per tenere in vita la popolazione di Gaza. Poi ha smesso di fornirlo. Tra marzo e giugno, Israele ha fatto entrare nella Striscia solo 56.000 tonnellate di cibo, a fronte di un fabbisogno minimo mensile di 62.000. Nello stesso periodo, il mondo ha assistito — impotente e complice — alla trasformazione della fame in carestia. Non per catastrofi naturali. Per scelta politica. La guerra ha reso impossibile l'agricoltura e la pesca. Ogni caloria disponibile a Gaza deve entrare da fuori. Lo sa bene Cogat, l'agenzia militare israeliana che gestisce gli accessi. Eppure, mentre gli esperti ONU certificavano il “peggiore scenario possibile”, il governo israeliano minimizzava, incolpava Hamas, la burocrazia umanitaria, l'ONU, chiunque tranne sé stesso. Ma è tutto scritto. In passato Cogat stimava 2.279 calorie al giorno per persona, equivalenti a 1,8 kg di cibo. Oggi ne entra meno della metà. Anche durante il cessate il fuoco di gennaio e febbraio, bastarono pochi giorni di rifornimenti regolari per invertire il corso della fame. Eppure a maggio, mentre la crisi esplodeva, Netanyahu si è limitato a riaprire i rubinetti a goccia. Ora promette “aiuti minimi”. Per contenere l'indignazione internazionale, non la carestia. Nel frattempo, si lanciano airdrop dal cielo, costosissimi e inefficaci. In due anni di guerra, 104 voli hanno garantito cibo per appena quattro giorni. Una messinscena umanitaria utile solo a mascherare il vero colpevole dietro una cortina di logistica. La fame, in Gaza, non è un fallimento. È un'arma. E Israele ne conosce ogni formula. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Obwohl direkt vor unseren Augen ein regelrechter Völkermord an den Palästinensern durchgeführt wird, regt sich bislang kein nennenswerter Widerstand. Doch das könnte sich ändern. Die UNO legt jetzt eine umfassende Dokumentation vor, und in Bogotá beraten 30 Staaten, wie den Völkermördern das Handwerk gelegt werden kann.Ein Standpunkt von Hermann Ploppa.Am Anfang der AbschiedDie Panzer stehen vor den Toren des Nasser-Krankenhauses in Khan Yunis. Ein Ort im Süden des Gazastreifens. Dorthin waren aus dem Norden des Gazastreifens anderthalb Millionen Palästinenser seit dem Oktober des Jahres 2023 zusammengetrieben worden. Zusammengepfercht. Obdachlos. Ohne sauberes Trinkwasser. Ohne Strom. Ohne Essen. Alle Krankenhäuser sind von israelischen Truppen zerstört worden. Nur das Nasser-Krankenhaus im Süden des Gazastreifens arbeitet noch ein bisschen. Dialyse-Patienten können schon lange nicht mehr versorgt werden. Sie sterben elend. Die Mitarbeiter und Patienten des Nasser-Krankenhauses in Khan Yunis wissen, dass jetzt ihr Stündlein geschlagen hat. Und sie versenden folgende Abschiedsbotschaft an den Rest der Welt:"Wir arbeiten immer noch im Krankenhaus, und die Panzer sind nur wenige Meter von uns entfernt. Wir sind dem Tod mittlerweile näher als dem Leben.Die Soldaten kennen keine Gnade – weder gegenüber einem Kind, noch gegenüber einem alten Mann, noch gegenüber einem Arzt, noch gegenüber einer Krankenschwester. Wir bleiben hier, weil wir Menschen sind und weil unsere Mission eine humanitäre ist. Wenn diese Raben unsere Seelen rauben … vergesst uns nicht und reduziert uns nicht auf eine Zahl. Wir lieben das Leben und haben Träume, genau wie ihr. Wir haben Kinder und Ehepartner, die wir lieben. Aber wahrhaft menschlich zu sein bedeutet, diejenigen, die eure Menschlichkeit brauchen, niemals im Stich zu lassen. Erzählen Sie der Welt von uns. Sagen Sie, dass wir menschlicher waren als diejenigen, die das nur behaupteten. Sagen Sie, dass wir lieber den Tod wählten, als unsere edle Mission aufzugeben.Sagen Sie nicht nur, wir seien Helden gewesen – sagen Sie, dass wir verstanden haben, was es wirklich bedeutet, ein Mensch zu sein. Und: Entschuldigung! Wir sind keine Nummern.“ Ehud Olmert und die KonzentrationslagerDer mittlerweile achtzigjährige Ehud Olmert war von 2006 bis 2009 Regierungschef in Israel. Doch jetzt war Olmert gerade bei der Beerdigung von zwei Palästinensern im Westjordanland. Die beiden jungen Männer, einer davon zusätzlich mit der US-amerikanischen Staatsbürgerschaft ausgestattet, waren von israelischen Siedlern ermordet worden. Es gibt bis heute keine Strafverfolgung der Untaten. Illegale Siedler vertreiben in der Westbank Palästinenser aus ihren Häusern. Wer sich wehrt, wird umgebracht. Diese Schlägertruppen werden in Israel als „Hilltop youth“ bezeichnet. Sie genießen absolute Straflosigkeit. „Die Angriffe waren Kriegsverbrechen“, sagte Olmert. „Sie sind unverzeihlich. Inakzeptabel. Es gibt anhaltende Aktionen, die von einer großen Gruppe auf brutalste und kriminellste Weise organisiert und orchestriert werden.“ Während dessen hat der israelische Verteidigungsminister Israel Katz vorgeschlagen, etwa 600.000 palästinensische Bewohner des Gazastreifens in so genannten „humanitären Städten“ auf den Trümmerfeldern unterzubringen. Die einzige Möglichkeit, sich dieser Einpferchung zu entziehen bestünde dann darin, Palästina in Richtung Ausland zu verlassen. Für den Ex-Premier Ehud Olmert führt kein Weg daran vorbei, dieses Vorgehen als weitere Verschärfung einer bereits stattfindenden ethnischen Säuberung anzusehen: Hosted on Acast.

Pełnej wersji podcastu posłuchasz w aplikacji Onet Audio. W najnowszym odcinku podkastu Raport Międzynarodowy Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz rozmawiają o zmianie polityki USA wobec Ukrainy i zapowiedzi dostaw broni dla Kijowa przez Donalda Trumpa kupionej za pieniądze europejskie. Dziennikarze zastanawiają się kto zapłaci za tę broń i czy powinna w ten plan włączyć się Polska. Rozważają również na ile zmiana polityki USA jest trwała. Dziennikarze analizują również rekonstrukcję ukraińskiego rządu i powołanie w miejsce Denysa Szmyhala nowej premier Julii Swyrydenko. Kim jest Swyrydenko? Jaką ma spełnić rolę? Jakie znaczenie mają jej powiązania i lojalność wobec szefa biura prezydenta Wołodymyra Zełenskiego Andrija Jermaka? Jurasz i Parafianowicz omawiają kandydatury na nowych ministrów. Kolejnym wątkiem ukraińskim jest analiza sytuacji na froncie. Dziennikarze omawiają jakie znaczenie dla wojny będzie miało rosyjskie przekroczenie granic obwodu dniepropietrowskiego. I czy na tym etapie wojny rozmowy o bombardowaniu Moskwy i Petersburga amerykańskimi pociskami w ogóle ma sens. W dalszej części podkastu dyskutują o polityce bliskowschodniej i pomyśle zbudowania w Rafah obozu dla Palstyńczyków. Czy ten obóz będzie – jak przekonuje były premier Ehud Olmert – obozem koncentracyjnym? Przechodząc do polityki historycznej Jurasz i Parafianowicz zastanawiają się nad znaczeniem negacjonizmu promowanego przez Grzegorza Brauna. Ale też nad kontrowersyjną wystawą w Gdańsku poświęconą służbie w niemieckiej armii w okresie II wojny światowej mieszkańców Pomorza i Kaszub.

Ehud Olmert, former Israeli Prime Minister, and Secunder Kermani, Foreign Affairs Correspondent with Channel 4 News, discusses the latest developments in the Israel/Gaza conflict.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Five IDF divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, continue to operate across Gaza. Dozens of airstrikes were carried out in the past days, but one in particular has captured international attention: a strike near a Gaza water distribution point that reportedly killed several children. The IDF said Sunday that it was an accident and attributed it to a “technical malfunction.” Fabian reports on the accidental strike and compares the IDF's quick accountability of it to reports of mass deaths from humanitarian aid distribution sites. A proposed plan to establish a “humanitarian city” in southern Gaza’s Rafah continues to receive backlash. According to the plan, at least 600,000 Palestinians would be allowed into a newly rebuilt area of the city after being cleared that they are not Hamas. Some critics -- including former prime minister Ehud Olmert -- allege that it resembles the Nazi concentration camps built during World War II. Fabian talks about the plan, puts it in to the greater context of the entire Gideon's Chariots operation and explains the reported criticism from within the IDF itself. Israeli troops found more than three tons of weapons while raiding military facilities inside Syria, including anti-tank mines, explosive devices, and rockets. The sites had been maintained by the deposed Bashar al-Assad regime. We hear about the raid and the scale of the troops' finds. Israel’s most advanced communications satellite, dubbed Dror-1, was successfully launched into space from Cape Canaveral in the United States on Sunday aboard a Falcon 9 two-stage rocket, manufactured by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Fabian was inside the Israeli control room and reports back. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. Israel has experience in attempting to stop a nuclear weapons program. Twice before striking Iran on June 13, 2025, Israel attempted to thwart two neighboring nations' nascent nuclear programs. This week on the Friday Focus, we’re talking about the covert surprise 1981 Operation Opera in Iraq and the 2007 Israeli airstrike on Syria, called Operation Outside the Box or Operation Orchard. Berman fills us in on the back story of both, and weighs in on how successful they were — of course, with an eye to the current Israel-Iran war and Israel’s goal to stop Iran from reaching a nuclear bomb. We learn how Operation Opera, also known as Operation Babylon, took place under prime minister Menachem Begin on June 7, 1981, at 16:00 when 14 fighter jets departed from Etzion (Efrat) Airport in Israel. At approximately 17:30, they struck and destroyed the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq, and within about 90 seconds of bombing, they successfully completed their mission. Berman speaks about the resultant "Begin Doctrine," which, since 1981, guides Israel in how it reacts to imminent threats of weapons of mass destruction. We then turn to the second preemptive strike that Israel carried out to stop the bomb in 2007, under prime minister Ehud Olmert. Ten Israeli Air Force (IAF) F-15 fighter jets, along with F-16 fighters and electronic-warfare aircraft, bombed a Syrian radar site and took over Syrian air defenses, feeding them a false picture of empty skies. We discuss the overriding themes of both operations and compare them with what is currently happening in the Israel-Iran war. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves and the video was edited by Thomas Girsch.

Sam Harris speaks with Haviv Rettig Gur about Israel and her enemies. They discuss Israel's war with Iran and America's role in the conflict, Israel's military capabilities, Iran's nuclear program, what a ground invasion of Iran could look like, how Iranians view the regime, antisemitism, the history of Zionism, Islam and jihadism, extremism on the Israeli far right, religious fanaticism, Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Ehud Olmert, the hostages in Gaza, and other topics.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Israeli commentator and Iran expert Ori Goldberg, hot off appearances in +972 Magazine and on Democracy Now, returns to offer his analysis of the Israel-Iran war. Ori, as an Israeli, provides a unique perspective on what is happening within Israel, while his deep expertise in Iran's culture and history shines throughout this conversation. Ori believes the calculus behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to strike Iran is multi-faceted. First, it serves as a diversion from the horrors in Gaza and Israel's failure to complete its objectives there (such as the elimination of Hamas and the return of the hostages). Additionally, it creates a "rally around the flag" effect in Israel, which could prove beneficial to Netanyahu politically. From there, the conversation delves into Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons versus whether Iran would actually use such weapons, the question of what U.S. President Donald Trump might do next in regard to potential U.S. involvement in the conflict, hubris in Israeli politics, the question of regime change, and how Israel's actions embolden Iran's hardliners. The discussion also covers understanding Iran and the Islamic Republic sociologically, public sentiment toward Israel, Israel's fragile relationship with autocratic regimes (some of which may be growing frustrated with Israel), comments from Ehud Olmert and Yair Golan on Israel's handling of Gaza, Ori's belief that Israel's problems are bigger than Netanyahu and messianic Zionist settlers, his critique of Israel's liberal Zionists, and the nature of Israel's strike requiring long-term planning—and the implications of that. This episode is a deep dive into the dynamics of a volatile region and the geopolitics at play. Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews

On this edition of Parallax Views, Middle East analyst James M. Dorsey, proprietor of The Turbulent World w/ James M. Dorsey blog/Substack, returns to the program to discuss what he considers a paradigm shift moment for the Middle East: last night's Israeli strike on Iran. What does it mean? How did we get to this point? Could this evolve into an all-out regional war? All those questions and many more are addressed in this conversation. We will also discuss the divisions in the Trump/MAGA base over Iran, particularly the conflict between the America First foreign policy elements of MAGA and the Iran hawks within MAGA. James will also address the internal divisions in Israeli politics, as exemplified by Ehud Olmert and Yair Golan's recent critical comments about Netanyahu's approach to Gaza. Trump's strongman approach to foreign policy, the perpetual cycle between Trump and Iran that keeps repeating itself, the Gulf States, Turkey, Syria, the ultra-religious Zionist vs. the Likud, and more all comes up in this conversation as well.

Compagnon de route de « Marianne », l'ancien ambassadeur Elie Barnavi a accusé Benyamin Netanyahou d'instrumentaliser l'accusation d'antisémitisme. De son côté, l'ex-Premier ministre Ehud Olmert a évoqué des crimes de guerre et dénoncé avec force les meurtres commis par de jeunes colons en Cisjordanie. Pour notre éditorialiste Natacha Polony, il est essentiel d'entendre ces voix pour sortir de ce piège mortifère qui consiste à laisser croire que la société israélienne – et plus encore, les juifs du monde entier – suivrait unanimement ce gouvernement.Le magazine Marianne est en kiosques et en ligne chaque jeudi."Le goût de la vérité n'empêche pas de prendre parti".

It is impossible to overstate how hellish life in Gaza has been for the past 20 months.The death count is above 50,000 people — more than 15,000 of whom are children — and at least 1.9 million of Gaza's 2.1 million people have been displaced over and over again. Starvation is rampant. Hospitals are either damaged or closed; there are only 2,000 remaining hospital beds.Nearly two years after the atrocities of Oct. 7, Israel still has no plan for the day after the conflict ends. Instead, it is escalating its assault on what remains of Hamas and seizing territory to expand its security buffer zone. There are reports that the government is considering a plan that would herd the Gaza Strip's Palestinians into just a small fraction of the territory. In the West Bank, meanwhile, settler violence has increased sharply, and new settlements are moving forward at a record pace.Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009, recently published a searing opinion essay in Haaretz, one of Israel's most influential newspapers: “Enough Is Enough. Israel Is Committing War Crimes.” He joins me to discuss why he believes Israel's war in Gaza can no longer be justified, what he finds missing in Israel's current political leadership and why he has not yet given up hope for a two-state solution.Book Recommendations:The Gates of Gaza by Amir TibonThomas Jefferson by Jon MeachamAll or Nothing by Michael WolffWait Till Next Year by Doris Kearns GoodwinThoughts?

Global public opinion has shifted dramatically in favour of the Palestinian cause in the last few weeks.

If you think the American evangelical fixation over Israel's well-being is simply about "doing the right thing," my hunch is you'd be wrong. As a southern-born kid who grew up in the baptist faith, there's a lot I came away with despite that fact I'm now a 51-year old atheist. i'm not saying I didn't come away with some good values from that exposure to organized religion, but I'd like to think my family upbringing had an outsized role.What I do believe, however, is that protestant evangelical ties to the G.O.P. have everything to do with the Nixon-born "southern strategy" (dogwhistle racism, outright homophobia and now transphobia and xenophobia showing itself in spurts and fits when politically necessary). Because of that partnership, defending Israel is sacrosanct to the Republican (Democratic, too, if we're being honest) party's DNA. It's why a simpleton like Donald Trump gets so frustrated he and his party don't enjoy greater support from the Jewish American voting bloc. Like a long list of things Republicans are passionate about (the debt/deficit, immigration, reproductive rights come to mind), Israel's security isn't important to them because they're virtuous. Trump appointing former baptist minister-turned Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee to be the U.S. ambassador to Israel is about appeasing the evangelical voting bloc, who simply see Israel as being a 'necessity' to set the table for Jesus' return, per the book of Revelations. If I were Jewish and/or Israeli, it would insult me, and maybe that's one reason voters don't warm to Republican ideology. Huckabee, for his part, is outraged European allies are daring to have cross words for Israel in the midst of it's 20-month long seige on Gaza. Seriously, can Israel do no wrong with the otherwise "pro-life" evangelical Americans? Even former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert is sounding the "genocidal" alarms. Is he somehow anti-Zionist or antisemitic now? That's the sort of lingo the right flings about anytime student protests come up at college and university campuses, after all.------While we're looking (and coming up empty) for some actual 'Christian values' in the G.O.P. playbook, their threatening cuts to social safety nets - Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security - seem like reasons for some Messianic table-flipping, no?Jay Bookman's latest op-ed - "There's no way to cut $800 billion from Medicaid without hitting bone" - goes right to the heart of the matter:"... if you still believe the administration, they're going to make those cuts without anyone losing benefits. As White House official Russell Vought put in last week, “This bill will preserve and protect the programs, the social safety net, but it will make it much more common sense. No one will lose coverage as a result.”If your BS detector isn't ringing by now, you need to take it in for repair.Confronted with the absurdity of claiming that you can cut $800 billion without canceling health care coverage, Trump officials retreat to their fallback position. Yes, they admit, they'll be cutting benefits, but only for those who don't deserve it. “Medicaid does not belong to people who are here illegally, and it does not belong to capable and able-bodied men who refuse to work,” another White House official told Politico. “So no one is getting cut.”Once again, though, your BS detector ought to be blaring. Under existing federal law, undocumented immigrants are already barred from getting Medicaid. They're promising to cut benefits to people who are already not getting those benefits. So no savings there.And the truth is, most of the able-bodied men who are too lazy to work are also too lazy to worry about jumping through the hoops needed to get Medicaid health-care coverage. Such men do exist, no doubt, but in numbers far too small to generate $800 billion in savings."More on that in the Thursday podcast.

The IDF has fiercely denied Hamas reports that its forces opened fire on crowds of Palestinians as they made their way to an aid centre in southern Gaza. What neither side can deny at this point is that the scale of death and suffering is intolerable. Jewish people have been very recently killed in hate-fuelled attacks in the US - and it goes without saying that the mass killing of innocent Palestinians by Netanyahu's forces is doing nothing but grave harm to the Israeli cause. Nineteen months into this war, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joins Piers Morgan to tell him “enough is enough” and why he thinks the President should be jailed for war crimes. Then, Uncensored is joined by retired Lt Col and former IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus and founder and CEO of ‘The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur.

Israel comete crimes de guerra em Gaza e a mudança de discurso do premiê Benjamin Netanyahu, nos últimos dias, deixa claro que o objetivo de seu governo é a limpeza étnica da região.Vocês não têm ideia de como me dói dizer isso. Desde que me entendo por gente, sou sionista. Ao longo da vida, mudei de opinião a respeito de muitas questões. Este é um dos raros casos em que me mantive constante. Ser sionista é ser favorável a um Estado, no Levante Meridional, para o povo judeu. Um Estado na sua terra. Mas o meu é o sionismo de Theodor Herzl, o sionismo de David Ben Gurion. O meu é o sionismo de Yitzhak Rabin, que compreendeu, como todo israelense inteligente, que as mesmas razões que sustentam o direito de judeus terem seu país sustenta, igualmente, o direito de palestinos terem o seu.O governo Netanyahu é a negação de todos esses valores.Neste momento, estão nas ilhas de edição do Meio três episódios especiais da série Ponto de Partida que vão para nosso streaming e tratarão de Israel e da Palestina. Não pretendia voltar a este assunto antes do lançamento porque, afinal, em dez, doze minutos de um vídeo aqui, não cabe tudo o que gravamos num total de uma hora e meia. Só que os acontecimentos não esperam.O governo Netanyahu está propositalmente deixando sem comida e sem remédios milhões de pessoas na Faixa de Gaza. Não existe qualquer razão estratégica, do ponto de vista militar ou político, para justificar algo assim. É um nível absurdo de crueldade, de desumanidade.No Knesset, o parlamento de Israel, na semana passada, Netanyahu afirmou que por conta de sua política de “destruir mais e mais moradias”, as palavras são do premiê, “o resultado inevitável será o desejo pelos moradores de Gaza de deixarem a região”. Neste mesmo discurso, ele afirmou que só permitirá que ajuda humanitária chegue a quem não voltar para casa.Se o desejo de Benjamin Netanyahu é tornar a vida em Gaza tão insuportável que a população deseje deixar suas casas para nunca mais voltar, o nome disso é limpeza étnica. É a definição de dicionário. É limpar, de uma região, um povo. A política de tornar um lugar impossível para a vida de quem vive lá. O primeiro-ministro de Israel está declarando isso. Ministros de seu gabinete já diziam desde o ano passado, mas Netanyahu, não. Agora ele começou a dizer. É política de Estado.Que ninguém se engane. Esta política não só é bárbara e anti-Palestina. Ela é, igualmente, anti-Israel. Esta política não vai eliminar o Hamas. Ela vai alimentar o ódio palestino a um ponto como jamais houve na história. Ela vai acirrar o conflito. A longo prazo, ela ameaça a existência do Estado de Israel. E, não, ela não vai expulsar os palestinos. Primeiro porque o povo palestino já demonstrou, ao longo das décadas, uma resiliência sem igual. Eles querem sua terra e vão ficar. Mas, em segundo lugar, é preciso considerar os vizinhos imediatos. O Egito já deixou claro que não quer os palestinos no seu país. A Jordânia, idem. O Líbano, a Síria, mesma coisa. Não há outro lugar para o povo palestino que não a sua terra. Gaza e Cisjordânia.Além disso, o que a política de Netanyahu faz é estender o sofrimento dos 58 reféns que ainda vivem no cativeiro, em Gaza. Estão sendo torturados, passam fome e estão nas mãos de pessoas que os odeiam. Nunca na história, desde 1948, houve um único governo israelense que não pusesse como absoluta prioridade a segurança de cada judeu no mundo. Nunca. Israel nasceu para que o resultado de dois mil anos de racismo, perseguição e violência que os judeus sofreram na Europa nunca mais ocorresse.Nunca mais.Esta política mudou com Netanyahu. A guerra em Gaza não representa qualquer estratégia de interesse do Estado de Israel. Ela representa os interesses da extrema-direita israelense e os interesses pessoais do primeiro-ministro. Netanyahu é um político corrupto que compreende que, no momento em que deixar o governo, será imediatamente processado e corre o risco de passar seus últimos dias na cadeia. Manter-se em guerra garante o apoio da extrema-direita e, com o apoio da extrema-direita, seu governo não termina antes da próxima eleição. Enquanto ele controlar metade mais um do Knesset, o governo fica de pé. Ou seja, eleição só em 27 de outubro do ano que vem.É um pesadelo para os palestinos. É um pesadelo para as famílias dos reféns. É um pesadelo para os democratas israelenses.A gente não tem como prever o futuro, mas temos como compreender o que aconteceu para chegarmos até aqui. Este não é um vídeo que vai agradar a turma do “Palestina livre do rio ao mar”. Não é um vídeo que agradará quem acha que Israel está sempre certa. É um vídeo para quem deseja compreender e quem anseia, urgentemente, pela paz. Uma paz cada vez mais distante.Eu sou Pedro Doria, editor do Meio.Netanyahu não é um premiê popular. Ele sabe disso. Sabe que perderia a eleição pesado. Ele tem o apoio de apenas 32% dos israelenses. Mais do que isso. 55% acreditam que seu único interesse é se manter no poder. Uma pesquisa realizada este mês pelo Maariv afirma que a oposição, se as eleições fossem hoje, conquistaria 62 cadeiras do Knesset e, o bloco de Netanyahu, 48.Existem duas extrema-direitas diferentes em Israel. E é importante entender isso. São dois grupos que, embora igualmente extremistas, não se bicam. Não se falam. De um lado estão os nacionalistas sionistas e, do outro, os ultra-ortodoxos.Uma das principais marcas dos nacionalistas sionistas, tipo a camisa da Seleção brasileira deles, o boné MAGA, é uma kipá de tricô. Eles são quem mais faz pressão para que Israel anexe os territórios palestinos, a Cisjordânia e Gaza. É a turma que ergue assentamentos, condomínios inteiros, em território que não pertence ao Estado de Israel. Defendem uma Grande Israel, andam pesadamente armados, em geral quando há instantes de violência contra palestinos, são eles. Foi um cara desse grupo que assassinou Yitzhak Rabin no momento em que ele tentava negociar a paz com Yasser Arafat. Os nacionalistas sionistas são sempre os primeiros a se alistar no Exército e se oferecem para estar na linha de frente. São, por isso mesmo, os que mais morrem na guerra.Os ultraortodoxos são o contrário. Não se alistam, têm licença especial para escaparem do serviço militar que é obrigatório para todos os outros cidadãos israelenses. Também não trabalham. Estudam a Torá o dia todo e são financiados pelo Estado. Seu principal objetivo é manterem-se isentos do serviço militar e de qualquer trabalho, é manter os recursos do Estado vindo pra eles enquanto estudam a palavra de Deus.A tensão entre os dois grupos é grande e é real justamente por isso. Só que em nenhum outro governo na história de Israel qualquer um dos dois já teve o espaço de poder que eles têm hoje. Porque, a sua maneira, são extremistas de formas distintas. Então um atura o outro e os dois grupos, embora minoritários, têm votos o suficiente para manter Netanyahu no poder. A coalizão de governo se mantem no poder por 4 votos. Apenas quatro cadeiras. Se quatro deputados deixam o governo, ele desmorona. Só que não acontece. Não acontece enquanto Netanyahu garantir as benesses dos religiosos e acenar com limpeza étnica palestina para os nacionalistas.Mas como foi que Netanyahu chegou lá? Tem uma verdade inconveniente nisso tudo. Israel apresentou duas vezes um plano concreto para a criação do Estado da Palestina. A primeira com o gabinete de centro-esquerda de Ehud Barak, no ano 2000. A segunda pelo gabinete de centro-direita de Ehud Olmert, em 2008. Não é que os palestinos tenham recusado. Nem Arafat, em 2000, nem Mahmoud Abbas, em 2008, apresentaram uma contra-proposta. Na verdade, após a primeira apresentação de proposta, explodiu a Segunda Intifada, que matou muita gente em Israel. É como se, no momento em que finalmente Israel conseguiu se convencer, tanto na esquerda quanto na direita, de que era preciso haver um Estado palestino, o governo da Palestina tivesse congelado. Vejam, teve uma vez, sem resposta. Veio uma onda brutal de ataques terroristas. Aí apresentaram uma segunda proposta. Silêncio no rádio. Os palestinos nunca disseram, sequer, não. Nunca explicaram exatamente o que não gostavam na Foi neste cenário que Benjamin Netanyahu se elegeu. Ele era o único político dizendo “os palestinos não querem paz”. Subentendido nesta ideia está a percepção que muitos israelenses ainda têm de que, para os palestinos, a única solução é o fim de Israel. Pois, em 2009, a população de Israel ouviu Bibi. E o elegeu. Mais de uma década e meia depois, ele segue no governo e tudo piorou muito. Netanyahu tornou a paz ainda mais difícil de ser conquistada. Então como se constrói a paz?O Sete de Outubro é um trauma que não vai embora tão cedo. A destruição de Gaza, muito menos. Mas eu queria sublinhar um último ponto. Hoje, 50% da população de Israel é formada por judeus cujos avós moravam no Norte da África e no Oriente Médio. 30% por judeus cujos avós vieram da Europa. 20% de árabes palestinos com cidadania israelense. Geneticamente, os judeus asquenazitas, os europeus, são mais próximos dos judeus mizrahim e sefarditas do que de qualquer povo europeu. Eles são a mesma gente. E não há povo mais próximo de qualquer judeu do que os palestinos.Isso tem explicação. São os dois povos cananeus. Os dois povos são de lá. Os dois povos descendem diretamente dos homens e mulheres que primeiro aprenderam a plantar na história. Isso. Dez mil anos atrás, na Revolução Agrícola. Nenhum povo pertence mais a uma mesma terra do que judeus e palestinos pertencem a Canaã. Não importa sua crença ideológica, sua crença religiosa, nada muda o fato de que são duas culturas ancoradas há milênios naquela terra. Todas suas rezas, seus monumentos, seus textos. Cada artefato arqueológico encontrado com mil, dois mil, três mil, cinco mil, oito mil anos foi construído, moldado, pelas mãos dos antepassados de todos os judeus e todos os palestinos. Em alguns casos, dos antepassados comuns aos dois povos.Não existe saída que não o reconhecimento de que a terra é dos dois. Precisamos dos dois países. E, às vezes, a paz nasce justamente quando não parece mais haver esperança.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
