Israeli security expert Yossi Alpher's response to a Washington Jewish Week letter to the editor critiquing APN activist Barbara Green's opinion piece "Israel and U.S. Jews must break their shared silence"
President Trump's controversial US Ambassador to Israel has demonstrated
that APN was right to oppose his confirmation and subsequently call for his firing.
Based on his actions, statements, and our off-the-record conversations with informed insiders, it is clear that David Friedman is the chief architect behind the Trump administration's thinly concealed push to kill the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Friedman File is APN's comprehensive record documenting the deeds of the settlements enthusiast-cum-ambassador since he assumed his post.
This episode features a conversation with Omar Shakir, the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights
Watch.
Shakir investigates and documents human rights abuses in
Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
We talked about his recent deportation from Israel and about Human Rights Watch’s new report, Born Without Civil Rights.
