Ron Skolnik's coverage of the unification agreement between Labor and Meretz into "the Democrats" party is very good, though it's only on Twitter. -No mention of the Israeli occupation of Palestine -No mention of 48-Palestinian rights as a minority -No clear postwar vision for Gaza.

Since Golan is pretty outspoken about these issues, I wouldn't make to much of this. It's an apparatchiks' agreement and focuses on those issues. Any daylight between the parties on these issues is negligible. As a declarative matter maybe that's something else, but substantively, meh

Golan seems relatively outspoken about two states but is very averse to actually calling it an occupation, is my impression.

Avishay, you’re killing me. Now, I have to fire Google translate. PS: if you continue posting articles in Hebrew, I might take Hebrew classes. There is a synagogue near me, they might offer classes 🤷‍♂️

Ha! Duolingo is actually excellent, and Arabic will get you pretty far in understanding how the language works

Oh you are reviving bad memories about Arabic grammar classes. Good God, is it complicated 😱

Arabic sucked to work on even in a household with my baba speaking it daily

Hebrew thankfully has fewer D stems, cases and letters, no final vowels and fewer dialects.

My wife, who knows Russian, Romanian & French very well, bombastically was like, “hey, how hard can Arabic be?” After a couple of months, she was like “you guys are crazy. Craaaazy!” 🤣🤣🤣

Arabic grammar is torture! My grandfather used to give me verses from the qur’an to analyze the grammar and syntax… damn, that was extremely hard. PS: I still suck at Arabic grammar
