The Israeli Right has all the Power - but no Endgame
With Israel led by the most right-wing government in its history and a weak, fragmented opposition, the right is virtually free to carry out its program. So why is its decades-long vision of annexing the West Bank not really on the table?

Arab-Palestinian politics in Israel harming promising young leaders
The uproar in Arab-Palestinian political circles in Israel over Ayman Odeh’s visit in the US has exposed the weakness and stagnation of these political frameworks. The “stand-tall generation” seems to be too used to the low glass ceilings in Israel and in the Occupied Territories

Radicalization of Arab Knesset members: a civic rift
Public statements by Arab members of the Israeli parliament have grown more extreme over the last twenty years.

Dr. Orna Cohen analyzes the growing rift between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel, as reflected in parliamentary debate.

Case study: Divestment by Norwegian giant KLP
The right and left wings in Israel are both presenting a misleading picture of the political and economic challenges Israel is facing internationally. A case in point is the divestment by Norwegian insurance company KLP from companies operating in the West Bank. Instead of sensationalist headlines, we analyze the real challenges this case illustrates.

How the proposed Basic Law: Israel — Nation-State of the Jewish People Actually Impairs Judaism
The proposed Basic Law is not only invalid because it is injurious to non-Jewish people, but also because it takes aim at Jewish people and Jewish heritage itself, turning that heritage into a political tool in the hands of a single Jewish group
