  Uri Avnery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 2002, a documentary directed by Yair Lev was made about Avnery's life entitled Uri Avnery: Warrior for Peace.
Avnery is a contributor to the news and opinion sites CounterPunch, Information Clearing House and LewRockwell.com.

 A reply to Uri Avneri's 'Death of a Myth', Miftah, 17 May 2005
Avnery, leader of the small Israeli peace movement Gush Shalom, adds: "Even worse, more than 20% of the citizens of Israel are not Jews at all, and it is not healthy that so many citizens cannot identify with the anthem and the flag of their state."
His shock at Avnery’s change of heart was all the greater because he admired Avnery for his outspoken criticism of the government in 1956 over the massacre by the Israeli army of 49 unarmed Arab citizens in the village of Kfar Kassem.
It is fortunate for Avnery that this book, one of the few accounts of the early Israeli left written in English by an Arab citizen, has been almost impossible to obtain since it was printed in 1976.

Attacking the [Israeli Army] siege of the Jericho prison as a campaign ploy by Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, leftist activist and ex-MK Uri Avneri Tuesday termed the 2001 assassination of cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi a targeted killing, and said that slain Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin "was certainly of a higher rank" than Ze'evi.
Avneri spoke as far-left activists demonstrated in Tel Aviv against the [Israeli Army] raid, calling it a flagrant violation of agreements under which Ahmed Sa'adat, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and five other Palestinian militants were held under the auspices of American and British monitors.
Avneri, referring to the 2004 assassination of the Hamas leader, as well as to Ze'evi's "transfer" plan, said that "Sheikh Yassin was certainly of a higher rank than Rehavam Ze'evi.

 Israpundit: Dissecting Uri Avnery
Avnery, in suggesting that there was a possibility of making peace with Arafat, seems to have blinded himself to the fact that Arafat wanted to destroy Israel and make the whole area his new Palestine.
Avnery, Rabin, Sharon and many others whom you hasten to call "traitors," and many who died and so could not killed by right-wing fanatics, were the silver salver on which the Jewish people were given our state.
On the other hand, Uri wrote an article called Revenge of a Child This was about the incident where a Palestinian gunman machine gunned an Israeli mother and her 2 sons at Kibbutz Metzner in 2002.

Please don't misunderstand me, Uri Avneri is a man of good intentions, a brave supporter of Palestinian rights, an activist doing more than his share and an efficient organizer.

Avneri stated Arafat is the only “Palestinian leader” who was willing to make “historical compromises” and work “towards peace”.
Avneri added that it is “absurd” for us to discuss if Arafat will be buried on the Temple Mount or elsewhere, concluding “the Palestinian people will decide where he laid to rest, not us”.
Avneri explained he has been acquainted with Arafat since 1974 and he is certain that Arafat and those who will come after him are yearning for peace with Israel.

 Ramallah Online - The Israeli Peace Front in the Ring
Between Uri and Shamir there is a fight about principles going on, launched by Shamir in some articles, a fight which behind Shamir's polemics shows seemingly clashing and often contradicting attitudes, although both fight for peace and freedom in Palestine Israel.
Uri was 1 against 119 in the Knesset once and has for a long time been a critical and fearless peace journalist.
Uri comes from a different background, and his identification with Israel may sometimes stand in his way, but there is no reason at all to use such a rude and associative language.

In recent years Avneri's efforts have deteriorated to the point where he now seems to border on being little more than a propagandist for Arafat and what in the end is Israel's armed and funded PA, a puppet regime primarily responsible for policing the "autonomous" Palestinian areas with ever-growing CIA and Shin bet "assistance".
Avneri writes, among so many other out and out deceptions, that much open debate and democracy has been fostered by the PA! It seems not to matter to him that the best journalists in the world, David Hirst and Robert Fisk among them, have been reporting in detail, story after story, precisely the opposite.
But then Avneri, while an insightful and even courageous journalist, has been largely discredited by his fronting for the Arafat regime no matter what, not to mention by his decades of building a reputation as someone not to be personally trusted.

But it may take time – and in our county, time means blood, tears and bereavement.” Thus Uri Avneri himself proves to those who follow him that supporting the imperialist program of two states under US control (the imperialist peace program) cannot be separated from the support for the imperialist war.

 The Rise of Israel's Right and the Failure of the Peace Movemen
Avnery gave, as a major characteristic of the left, their readiness to seek peace with the Arabs, rather than any social equality ideas, I think one could say that unlike almost any other leftist movement in the world, wherein rights, freedom, equality are most likely characteristics, the Israeli left has almost none of that.
Avnery, that if the Israeli hears about the right of return his or her hair stands up and it is "apocalyptic" or catastrophic.
And I agree with Uri Avnery here; I have people saying to me 'we are for the 1967 borders, dismantling settlements…but this Palestinian demand for the right of return…the only way that we can answer this is by force'.

In the year and a half that preceded the war the Knesset dealt extensively with the economic depression in the Israeli market, and in 1966 finally terminated the military administration over the Arab population of Israel.
Gahal on the one hand and Uri Avneri on the other, demanded the implementation of a national health insurance system.

Gush Shalom is Uri Avneri and a few others.
If the people who said those things about Rabin are considered those who assassinated him, in the eyes of Avneri and his friends, than the people who say about Sharon the things that were written in the Gush Shalom ad should be considered people who might bring about his assassination.
I am willing to agree with Avneri that Sharon would also desire the physical elimination of Arafat, but reality proves Avneri's opinion notwithstanding that even the prime minister understands that this is impossible and will cause irreparable damage to Israel's interests.

As for Avneri, he explained Ariel Sharon's words about the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the building of the wall, and cleared out the real meaning of every sentence he uttered, and the lies he used.

Avneri is from an Israeli peace organisation known as Gush Shalom, a name which is a play on words.
