In recent years, up to 1 million #Israelis have left to live in the United States, many of them among #Israel’s most enlightened and educated citizens.
Within Israel, human rights campaigners, intellectuals and journalists — #Israeli and #Palestinian — have found themselves vilified as traitors in government-sponsored smear campaigns, placed under state #surveillance and subjected to arbitrary arrests.
The Israeli educational system, starting in primary school, is an #indoctrination machine for the #military.
The Israeli army periodically unleashes massive assaults with its air force, artillery and mechanized units on the largely defenseless 1.85 million #Palestinians in #Gaza, resulting in thousands of Palestinian dead and wounded.
Israel runs the Saharonim detention camp in the Negev Desert, one of the largest detention centers in the world, where African immigrants can be held for up to three years without trial.
