    My dad lives in Tel Aviv & has had an account with @HalifaxBank for 20 years. As 10,000's of Brits chant the maximalist genocidal ‘from the river to the sea Palestine will be free’ its incredible that @HalifaxBank declared Tel Aviv occupied Palestinian territory.

    Is this official @HalifaxBank policy? Do your employees reject the State of Israel? What are you doing about this?

    UPDATE: dad received an apology call. We believe @HalifaxBank management condemn what happened but feel their explanation – while technically ‘possible’ - is highly improbable & suspect a bad actor was involved somewhere in the process, which they have not (yet) admitted to

    Excited to publish a @fathomjournal essay into religious-Zionism in Israel. The community spans a wide spectrum - from those terming the Pride Parade a gathering of ‘perverts’ to religious LGBT members. Other than head-covering what connects them? tinyurl.com/tbkk2cxs

    As an avid follower of Foreign Policy articles on Israel its surely only a matter of time until he retweets the other major article it published over the last week. Right @NeriZilber @YeshAtidEnglish ?

    #IsraElex19 While Netanyahu is safe for now, the AG’s announcement is the equivalent of a pistol hung on the wall in an early act of a Chekov play. It will be going off in a later act. And it may well be deadly bicom.org.uk/blogpost/the-w…

    I don't remember such a historic few days in Israel. I tried to reflect on what happened for @fathomjournal
    Fathom deputy editor Calev Ben-Dor reflects on a tumultuous few days in Israel and tries to make sense of ‘a Prime Minister we’ve never seen before’. @CalevBenDor | fathomjournal.org/calev-ben-dors…

    UPDATE: Blown away by power of social media. I often write long-form well researched pieces about Israel & its politics – religious Zionism, Ben Gvir, Mansour Abbas etc - & if even 5% of the interest garnered here read those I’d be ecstatic fathomjournal.org/author/calev-b…

    Excited to share this @fathomjournal essay on annexation and why a policy so often seen as peripheral has become so influential.
