Palestinian Christians in the West Bank are expressing a profound sense of betrayal as American evangelical leaders continue pushing for policies that directly harm their communities. Nicholas Kristof recently traveled to Bethlehem to hear directly from Christians...
Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that freeing the Israeli hostages in Gaza was not his top priority, suggesting instead that defeating Hamas should take precedence over a hostage deal. “We have many objectives, many goals in this war,” Netanyahu said. “We...
(Photo: journalist Fatima Hassouna, murdered by Israel) As I sat in church last Sunday, before the service started, I thought maybe I read too much. I wish I had not read about Mohammed Hegazy, a seven-year-old Palestinian boy who was blinded by an Israeli grenade...
Gaza is suffering the most intense bombing, per capita, of anywhere on earth, ever. Over 100,000 tons of bombs have been dropped on Gaza, an area slightly smaller than the City of Detroit, Michigan, resulting in the recorded deaths of at least 60,000 Gazans and...
On Palm Sunday (April 13), Israeli bombs destroyed the surgery and intensive care sections of the “last fully functional hospital in Gaza City,” according to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation. The hospital was run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem,...
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House on Monday and reaffirmed their desire for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, both claiming that there are other countries willing to take in the Palestinian population. Trump...
In this episode I’m joined by Daniel McAdams, director of the Ron Paul Institute and co-host of the Ron Paul Liberty Report, we dissect three seismic issues shaking the globe: the war in Ukraine, speculative land grabs in Gaza, and Europe’s escalating assault on free...
Well, I was wrong again. I thought that Donald Trump’s scheme to take control of Gaza and send the Palestinians to some great, new homes in Egypt and Jordan was just a negotiating ploy. Nope. He is serious about it and persists insisting that it is a great idea and...
This week, President Trump upended US Middle East policy by announcing that the United States would “take over” war-ravaged Gaza and turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” President Trump also said the Palestinians living in Gaza would be (temporarily?)...
How to do the impossible? America is instinctively an expansionist power, needing new fields to conquer; new financial horizons to master and to exploit. The US is built that way. Always was. But – if you are Trump, wanting to withdraw from wars on the empire’s...
Seldom, if ever, one gets to pick up the threads of what one had written 3 days back as conjectures. But my prognosis that “the sea side view” of Gaza is mesmerising President Donald Trump and his special envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff, two great real estate...
I owe Danny Davis an apology. I speculated during our conversation today that one possible explanation for Trump’s recent rant declaring that the Palestinians of Gaza would be relocated to Egypt, Jordan or some other countries was simply a negotiating ploy. I opined...
The Great White Father in Washington has spoken. Let mere mortals hark and obey. Gaza is a ‘mess’ said President Trump and must be ‘cleaned up.’ 2.1 million human refuse are befouling this potentially prime beachside property. `We just clean out that whole thing’...
The death of former President Jimmy Carter started me thinking about how long it’s been since the United States has been led by a head of state who was also a thoroughly decent human being. To be sure, while in office Carter made many mistakes in terms of...
Moshe Ya’alon has been making news for his declarations that the Israel government has been engaging in ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Many people have been making this claim. But, Ya’alon stands out because of his former high level positions in the Israel government and...
On October 3, 2024, 99 American healthcare workers in Gaza released an open letter to the White House pleading for an end to Israel’s bombing of little children. The letter was sent by American physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners, and nurses who had volunteered...
