Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad began a new conflict on Friday, following Israel's arrest of the group's senior West Bank commander earlier this week and killing of a senior PIJ commander, Tayseer Jabari, on Friday. The PIJ has fired more than a hundred rockets at Israel, warning it has "no red lines." In turn, Israeli forces launched retaliatory airstrikes against PIJ facilities and personnel in Gaza. Both sides are blaming each other for the new round of violence

If there is one thing Zionism has been consistent about over the past century, it is its commitment to territorial expansion to achieve demographic supremacy in Palestine, whatever diversionary tactics may be used by politicians to confuse and mislead the unwary. When such expansion was impossible through military means, and ever since before 1948, Zionism adopted the gradualist approach, dubbed dunam after dunam. In that sense, Israels partaking in any of the subsequent peace plans with the Palestinians was always underwritten by the aim of controlling the entire country over the long duree

In Israels volatile political environment, debating and predicting the outcome of the November election is another way to pass the time during the hot summer days, when most peoples minds are on staying cool, navigating their way through an overcrowded airport for their first post-pandemic trip abroad, or surviving a cost-of-living crisis that is spiralling out of control.Still, even at this early stage of the election campaign, there is at least one alarmingly consistent phenomenon that stands out in the opinion polls: The rise of ultra-religious nationalism, led by unsavory characters who can only be described as bigots with strong fascist leanings.The Religious Zionist party, led by Bezalel Smotrich, which even before the most recent national election had incorporated Itamar Ben Gvirs Kahanist movement Otzma Yehudit, looks likely to more than double its seats in the next Knesset, from its current six to a possible 13.In the Israeli context, where the current prime minister commands a group of no more than 17 MPs out of 120, and the leader he replaced headed a grouping of a mere seven seats, such a result could have an immense impact on the direction of the country in the next few years. When it comes to the Religious Zionist party, this spells bad news for Israels democracy and for relations with Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line.These are early days and the public might be using the polls to send a message to other parties, mainly Likud, that it wants them to move further to the right, closer to Smotrich and Ben Gvirs positions.Nevertheless, it is also an extremely worrying sign that the racist and homophobic language of the latter has been legitimized, and people are unashamed not only to vote for them in what is a secret ballot, but also to openly and unreservedly express support for their repulsive ideas. To make things even worse, the polls have also highlighted that the partys showing at the ballot box would be stronger if Ben Gvir, who is regarded as the more extreme of the two, were its leader, although ideologically the difference between him and Smotrich is paper thin.Both components of the party are oozing with racism and bigotry

The Israeli authorities must immediately halt the forcible eviction of more than 1,000 residents from Masafer Yatta, a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank, Amnesty International said today, following weeks in which the Israeli army has repeatedly harassed people in the area, demolished homes and placed restrictions on freedom of movement. Inside Israel, the authorities must recognize the housing rights of Palestinian Bedouin citizens in the Negev/Naqab desert, who saw their village, al-Araqib, demolished again this morning, Tuesday 19 July.
