Salam Fayyad is surviving on borrowed time - or money. By now everyone's aware that the Netanyahu-engineered "economic miracle" is the predictable result of periodic cash injections into a closed economic space. Pretending that Palestinian growth in the West Bank is viable is like pretending a six-year-old is rich because...

Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama have spent a great deal of energy trying to forestall any discussion of Israel's Jewish character and what that actually means. The Israelis want the feckless and illegitimate Palestinian Authority head, Mahmoud Abbas, to affirm Israel's "right to exist as the Jewish state." But that...

The mongrel dogs of war are foaming at the bit. For years they've cowered in their damp trenches, bristling in the heat. But they're back now. They've gathered their sagging flesh and cast their milky, crusty eyes at Iran. The mongrel dogs of war are planning another war.
The Zionists...

Israel continues to lurch and stagger in the darkened bog of tribal chauvinism. The Jewish state's further descent into the bellicose murk is being felt by the country's minorities. Home destructions and deportations are portentous of a bleaker future for non-Jews in Israel.
Palestinians in the West Bank and...

Prominent Zionists have spent recent months crowing loudly about the so-called economic miracle currently underway in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. They proclaim with breathless wonder that Palestinian beer exists, and it's tasty. We're told that the 'good Palestinians' in the West Bank, in contrast to their restive Islamic...

Guilt by association is weak adjudicatory framework, but that's not true of guilt by active association. America is rightly experiencing some of the Flotilla Massacre fallout. As Israel's patron, protector and enabler, Israeli actions mean American responsibility.
I'm beginning to think that the Israeli-perpetrated Flotilla Massacre is a...

It is often the case that the Israeli Zionist state engages in actions that horrify the average layperson. The most recent flotilla incident -- called an "act of piracy" by the Turkish Foreign Minister -- which resulted in the deaths of at least nine human rights...

The medieval Israeli and Egyptian siege of the Gaza Strip has now entered its fifth year. It was on January 25, 2006 that the Palestinian people in Israeli-occupied Gaza and the West Bank collectively decided to democratically oust Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party from power. Like Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan and...

The specter of racism leers menacingly over Western Europe today. More and more Europeans are reacting to Europe's changing racial profile in ever more illiberal ways, typically under the guise of lawful legislative intervention. Recently voters in Switzerland declared an injunction against all new construction of minarets -...

Senator Charles Schumer recently took to the airwaves to express his stern disapproval of President Obama's handling of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. During the interview, Schumer boasted of his threats to the president, saying "I called up Rahm Emanuel and I called up the White House and I said, 'If you...

Washington insiders are now touting a misguided Obama-dictated plan to solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Most recently, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Stephen Solarz took to the pages of the Washington Post to float the idea of an imposed peace, which largely undermines non-negotiable historic Palestinian rights. The authors call for...
