"Secretaries-general have always been kind of harsh on Israel when it comes to self-defense—always accusing us of using excessive force or disproportionate force"

Jerusalem Post: Three Ladies, Three Lattes: 28 Jan 2021 —men in big black hats and scraggly beards dictate who is a Jew
piggish politicians, wallowing in filth and slinging mud, sticking their snouts in the public trough

In a manner reminiscent of Der Stürmer, Arab and Iranian newspapers employ ugly caricatures of Jews— hooked noses, hunchbacks, scraggly beards—to dehumanize them.

"התיישבות מכתיבה ביטחון,
זה האלמנט הביטחוני הכי חשוב שיש,
הוא מאלץ את מערכת הביטחון לעשות את תפקידה.
מהרגע שאתה עוזב שטח מסויים
גם אין צבא פרט למינימום,
ואז הטרור מרגיש בבית
ומתפתח,
אנחנו רואים את זה בשידור חי".

יורם בינור, כתב לענייני ערבים, מספר שחשש לחייו לא פעם Israeli reporter: was called "yahud" – Jewish
Binur lived for a month in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. "It was not a very soft landing there," Binur recalls. "They put me through the wringer, including testing me on my knowledge of the Koran. I truly believe that had I not answered his questions correctly, I'm not sure we'd be sitting here right now having this conversation.

"While I was living as this Arab man, I learned just how much Palestinians do not like the Jews, and how little we understand about what goes on inside Arab communities. And that's why I was not at all surprised when the first intifada broke out."

"When we reached A'aliya Hospital, we saw a mob outside. Then, suddenly someone shouted, 'Yahud! Yahud!' and people began rushing toward us. They even tried to overturn our car. I quickly put the car in reverse and we sped away. If the car hadn't had central locking, I've no doubt they would have succeeded in dragging all of us out of the car, stuffing us with rice and raisins, and cooking us for dinner.
"Then, all of a sudden, an Arab man came up to me and began accosting me in a loud voice…. Luckily, we had protection, and my life was saved. It was only a matter of seconds before this man was going to throw me off the roof. I guess I got used to these dangerous adrenalin-inducing events, which seemed to happen to me often in those days."
Do you ever have occasion to go into Judea and Samaria these days?
"Not very often. After all of the confrontations I experienced over the years with various individuals, I think it's probably not prudent for me to go into these areas without my press badge.
The interview was his first with a mainstream Israeli media outlet, and with any newspaper, since returning to the Prime Minister's Office in late December.
What emerged was a very clear theme: work with others, seek agreement, but prepare to go it alone if you must.
"I think everybody understands that we should proceed in a measured way," Netanyahu told us about the government's proposed judicial reform. "You need a middle ground… We tried to have a consensus in the talks. We saw that we couldn't get any minimal understanding. Rather than be stymied by that, I think we should just move in a more measured way."

Yoram Ettinger:
A retreat from the mountain ridges of Judea and Samaria – which are a fixed asset of national security –
in return for an accord with Saudi Arabia – which is a variable asset of national security in the violently tenuous Middle East –
would transform Israel
from a war and terror-deterring country and a force-multiplier for the US,
to a war and terror-inducing country and a burden upon the US.
It will
exacerbate Middle East instability,
intensify the lethal threat to the pro-US Arab regime,
threaten the exportation of Middle East oil,
enhance the fortunes of Iran’s Ayatollahs, anti-US Sunni terror organizations, Russia and China,
while dealing a blow to vital US interests.
Rabbi Sacks - leftist, but after a very long while, he finally understood "that criticism of Israel (in the English speaking world) was slipping too frequently into antisemitic discourses and ... did not go public again on his criticism of the IDF or the settlement movement".
