The Report: Jeff Halper's US speaking tour; ‘Walled Off’: a heart-opening expression of cinematic intifada and Palestinian deliverance THE REPORT To Friends of ICAHD-USA Amplifying a critical Israeli voice in the US, opposing US government support of Israeli apartheid, supporting the One Democratic State Campaign. October 8, 2022 Your must-read for understanding Israel's "matrix of control," critical Palestine-Israel news, cutting edge analyses, opportunities for solidarity, and the work of ICAHD in the United States. icahd.org More than 200 Palestinian and Israeli intellectuals and activists have participated in the process and endorsed ODSC, setting it on firm political footing. We have set out the vision and framework of a shared democracy in which all the inhabitants of historic Palestine would enjoy common citizenship and equality under the law in a new and pluralistic political community. The ODSC Call represents a genuine call for political action. What is missing, what the anti-apartheid struggle always had, was an endgame, a political program capable of mobilizing the international grassroots, of giving it direction, purpose and strategy. This is what the ODSC seeks to do. We call on the entire international community, and especially civil society, to support our Call for a democratic state in historic Palestine. The time has come.

From Exodus to Marvel: a brief history of Hollywood’s justification of Israeli war crimes The introduction of an Israeli Mossad agent as the latest Marvel movie character crosses the line, even by Hollywood’s poor moral standards.
