Gideon Levy (Haaretz columnist)

“Some things … are not ’hasbarable’… One of them is Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians”

Prof Naomi Chazan (former Deputy Speaker of the Knesset)

“Once again, Israel’s leaders prefer to belittle the rising international consensus against Israel’s ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories and to attribute it to a world-embracing effort to delegitimize Israel.”

Mazal Mualem (Al-Monitor columnist, former political correspondent Maariv, Haaretz)

“[Netanyahu’s] one-dimensional narrative,.. deliberately ignores the complexity of the boycott issue.”

Mikhael Manekin (MD Molad, the Center for Renewal of Israeli Democracy)

“…almost all political actors who come into contact with Israel unequivocally accept its right to exist and … virtually all of the instances in which Israel's foreign relations are less than optimal are directly linked to Israel's presence in the Occupied Territories”

Joanna Landau (CEO of Vibe Israel)

Orange’s press release made business sense. “Unfortunately, our leadership is losing control completely. This is exactly the wrong thing to do.”
