An American headquarters for peace
Yossi Beilin  16/01/2008
Seven years after taking office, U.S. President George W. Bush is making his first visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority. But if he does not bring with him a serious plan for concluding a full peace agreement by the end of his term next year, he might as well stay home.

It's better to stay home
Yossi Beilin  19/11/2007
Every beginning driver learns not to enter an intersection unless he knows in advance how to exit it. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is taking Israel to the Annapolis intersection, and if he does not have the determination to continue from there along the route leading to the end of the conflict - he would be better off going into reverse now, and remaining at home

Is the Closet Okay for Gay-Friendly Pols?
yoav sivan 02/09/2007
The morality of schadenfreude aside, it's easy to rejoice in the outing of US Senator Larry Craig, an anti-gay crusader who this week was revealed to have pleaded guilty to soliciting another man in a bathroom at the Minneapolis airport. History - and hopefully more in our community - will now judge gay activist Mike Rogers more kindly for having been the first to report on Senator Craig's being gay last year on his site blogactive.com.

No pride in Israel's government

To the question "do you believe homosexuality is a choice," with which U.S. President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry were confronted in the 2004 presidential debate, Deputy Prime Minister and Shas Chairman Eli Yishai has just offered an affirmative answer: "A minority with a normative defect" is how he referred to gays and lesbians when the news broke that the state had partly sponsored a campaign aimed at gay clientele.

Good guys and bad guys

Gaza upheaval gives rise to simplistic view of Palestinian society .
It's not all about Olmert
Susie Becher  07/05/2007
Last week's demonstration in Rabin Square supposedly showed how politicians on the Right and the Left can join together when faced with a common goal of such magnitude that it dwarfs the ideological differences between them. And what is this lofty aim that managed to bridge the chasm that separates the two sides? Bringing Ehud Olmert down!

Wanted: a sane coalition
yossi beilin 28/03/2007
The Riyadh Arab summit presents an important opportunity for Arab countries: to strengthen a pragmatic coalition capable of confronting extremism in the Arab world, recommitting to the Arab peace initiative and advancing regional peace processes.

Redefining the right-left divide
Yoav Sivan 06/03/2007
How can one criticize MK Esterina Tartman, who was hoping to be appointed minister of tourism, for her extremist views? After all, Avigdor Lieberman, the leader of her party Yisrael Beitenu and the minister for strategic threats, is already notorious for questioning the loyalty and determining conditions for citizenship of the non-Jewish citizens of Israel.

Let's not play the 'no talk' game
LIMOR BEN-HAR AND YOAV SIVAN 16/01/2007
That peace talks with Syria remain on the top of Israel's agenda, hints that prospects for a political initiative are not over yet. Americans and Europeans are not likely to apply pressure on Jerusalem to talk to Syria, so such pressure must come from people like Defense Minister Amir Peretz. It would actually help save his political neck.

Eventful trip to Germany
yoav sivan 21/12/2006
Even well known facts can make the headlines. It happened twice last week: In Tehran Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s contesting the obvious, namely the existence of the Holocaust, brought about international condemnation; in Berlin Israeli PM Olmert’s admitting what everybody had already known, Israel's nuclear capacity, made a big fuss at home and abroad.
