Americans for Peace Now: September 4, 2019
QUOTE
"You can't tell young Israelis that it's just and correct to live here when your daily business is oppressing Palestinians in Azzoun or Salfeet or anywhere else in Judea and Samaria. It doesn't work. We don't grasp it, but it corrupts our soul and it ruins our young generation."
Yair Golan, ex IDF Deputy Chief and candidate in the Democratic Union party, on the geekonomy [ [link removed] ] podcast.

Yossi Alpher is an independent security analyst. Views and positions expressed here are those of the writer, and do not necessarily represent APN's views and policy positions.
Q. PM Netanyahu appears to have emerged unscathed from Hezbollah's response to the recent Israeli attack in the heart of Beirut. Does this boost his security profile and does the security effect boost his electability?
A. Netanyahu's problem regarding security issues is that he is running against three former IDF chiefs of staff...
Q. Start from the last item (Netanyahu's attack of the media) What's new here?
A. ...this constitutes an unprecedented attack by a sitting prime minister on freedom of speech in Israel...
Q. And the other distractions? What is notable?
A. The Likud is understandably concerned about fringe right-wing lists...
Q. Returning to the security issues to Israel's north, couldn't US opposition to alleged Israeli anti-Iran operations in both Lebanon and Iraq cloud Netanyahu's relationship with Trump?
A. They could...and/or they could force Israel to desist from some of its preventive attacks against Iranian proxy forces...
Q. Yet not only Netanyahu but the Israeli security community as well is alarmed by the Pentagon's discomfort over Israeli attacks in Iraq.
A. Indeed...
Q. Bottom line?
A. Elections in two weeks. Anything can happen.
