Israel Is Demolishing Gaza’s Cultural Heritage

We are told, and told again, to consider Israeli crimes as excesses, to treat its army’s barbarism as regrettable overreach. This is what happens in war, plead Israel’s dutiful linebackers; savagery must be met in kind, goes the cynical and weary lament. “Whoever dares to accuse our soldiers of war crimes are hypocritical liars who […]

“The Heart Is Capable of Grieving for Two Peoples at Once”

J.C.: My essay is uncomfortable and inconvenient to readers because it considers the incredible suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians. Some people complained that I stopped my volunteer work with Road to Recovery after October 7, when in fact I temporarily paused: I was scared, I needed time to digest what had happened. Three weeks […]

In Harrowing Speech, AOC Warns the U.S. Is Aiding “Genocide” in Gaza

The former president has until Monday to pay off the half-billion-dollar disgorgement—and if he doesn’t, James can begin taking steps to seize his assets to cover the debt, including 40 Wall Street and Trump Tower.

To Jared Kushner, Ravaged Gaza Looks Like a Real Estate Opportunity

“The only FRAUD in the Peekaboo James case, our failed and disgusting New York State Attorney General, was her convincing ‘Judge’ Arthur Engoron to put a value on Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, of just $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount. This was fraudulently and illegally done, working closely together […]

Palestinian Christians Suffer—and Many American Churches Don’t Care

Antisemitism is pure evil, and as Christians, we must combat it and denounce it. However, contrary to misconceptions in the church and in the media, the Israel-Palestine struggle is not a religious conflict but a complex political dispute rooted in human rights violations and decades of injustice. I believe in Israel’s right to exist and […]

Guess Who’s Pissed at Chuck Schumer for That Netanyahu Statement

Trump has, in recent months, made several nods to his support of Russia.

Bernie Sanders and Dem Senators Urge Biden to Stop Arming Israel

Kamala Harris Finally Finds Her Voice. Hopefully, Biden Follows.

There have been reports that Harris’s Selma remarks were “watered down” by the National Security Council. There’s no news in that. Reviewing and refining such comments is how all administrations work. Rather, what is noteworthy is that the bluntness of her remarks was accepted as the official policy position of the administration and that she, […]

Joe Biden Has a Serious “Uncommitted” Problem After Super Tuesday

“We started this effort to Replace Sinema over two years ago to hold Sinema accountable for betraying the Arizonans who elected her.

The Feverish Expectations of Biden’s State of the Union Address

The president’s State of the Union address will likely hit some familiar beats: Bragging about accomplishments and setting the agenda for the future. Biden will also need to make the case that the economy is strong, even as public polling shows middling to poor opinions of how the economy is faring, with particular concerns about […]

Anderson Cooper Really Doesn’t Want to Talk About Gaza

Is Joe Biden Uniquely Indifferent to Palestinian Suffering?

The Biden administration has claimed repeatedly that it is working to reduce civilian casualties, increase humanitarian aid, and press the Israelis to conduct the war in a less indiscriminate way.

Biden’s Three-Pronged Approach to the Middle East Gives Peace a Chance

As The Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported, Biden and his team have worked assiduously with the leaders of Saudi Arabia to create a proposal for normalizing relations with Israel—a major goal of Bibi’s.
