The new revelations about “Palestinian” textbooks are only part of the problem of miseducation. We have grown wearily accustomed to claims that those who form part of the Judeo-Christian world, the world of Europe and North America, the heirs of the Enlightenment, the upholders of mental freedom and human rights, are guilty of every conceivable […]

Ilhan Omar Blames – Who Else? – The Americans
Who to blame for this and for that?

Bernie Sanders On “That Right Wing” and “Racist” Israeli Government
At a town hall meeting in Nevada on February 18, Bernie Sanders delivered himself of some thoughts on what he described as Israel’s “right-wing” and “racist” government.

The heartening recent story of the U.K.’s decision to ban the terror group Hezbollah in its entirety, and to freeze all of its financial assets, is here.

How Joe Biden Rejected Trump’s Peace Plan (Part 2)
In his remarks so far on the Trump peace initiative, Joe Biden saw nothing to praise and much to deplore: “A peace plan requires two sides to come together. This is a political stunt that could spark unilateral moves to annex territory and set back peace even more. I’ve spent a lifetime working to advance […]
