Knocking Houthi Drones and Missiles Out of the Sky is Not Enough

What the US Has Accomplished, and Not Accomplished, Regarding the Houthis

Hamas and Hezbollah Attacks on Christians Being Ignored
While the Pope, without the slightest evidence, recently accused Israel of killing two Palestinian Christian women at a Catholic church in Gaza, both he, and most of the world’s media that seconded his sentiments, have again showed an anti-Israel animus, always quick to blame Israel, in marked contrast to how studiously they ignore the continuing […]

Whether the Jews and Arab Muslims in the Middle East, the Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka, Hispanics and Indians in South America, or the Chinese in Indonesia, decolonization is a euphemism for the majoritarian oppression of minority groups in the name […]
Masha Gessen, Or, ври, да знай же меру
Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen does not think Gaza is an “open-air prison.” No, she insists it is something much worse: Gaza, she writes, is akin to a Jewish ghetto in the time of the Nazis, now in the process of being “liquidated.” Does this ring true to you? How is Gaza like a Jewish ghetto […]
