I am a Jewish-American man in solidarity with Palestinian people. I am in solidarity with Israeli and American and all people who work and risk their lives and livelihood for justice.

During an unofficial panel of bloggers and activists at J Street's conference, I criticized Wiesel and Oren for associating with Hagee. Why is Wiesel palling around with Hagee? Why did I "mock" Wiesel?

US economic aid creates an unnecessary dependency, undermines the perception of Israel as a prosperous country, and gives the United States undo influence over Israeli policy.

We don't need them. They'll never see things our way, no matter what. Let them go. It's a new Israeli approach which borrows from the very worst of our aging instincts.

Returning from abroad, the atmosphere in Britain strikes one as bitter and confused and at times morose and elegiac.

Who are the Israeli Prime Minister's real friends? The settlers who cheered Rabin's murder and now inveigh violently against Obama, or the American administration that has pledged to help his country?

A recurring theme in many of the cleric's answers is his very strong belief that "foreign" Western powers, particularly England, are behind the current unrest in Tehran

There really is an existential threat to Israel -- a threat to its very existence. The finger, however, needs to point in the right direction, at the policies of the Israeli government itself.

The recent events in Iran, Pakistan, Lebanon and even inside the United States, show that we are experiencing a deep divide in our world.

Netanyahu is no Obama and his speech had nothing of the depth, sincerity and empathy that the American president showed to the Arab and Muslim worlds in his Cairo speech.

In terms of actual policy measures, President Obama and his foreign policy team have not taken any steps to reverse or mitigate the hostile policies their predecessors put into effect against Iran.

With neither side exhibiting willingness to back down, the stage is set for a contentious clash between Israel and the U.S. over settlement policy.

I was in bed with a group of people who were profoundly anti-American. They were professional haters; they "loved" an America that didn't exist.

Thanks to Ahmadinejad a good conference to discuss racism -- a serious issue -- was turned into a media love fest where the Israeli narrative went unquestioned.

Despite the stream of (belated) harsh criticism by member states, Durban II shamefully handed the serial Holocaust denier, genocide threatener a PR gift.

The Obama administration's decision to skip Geneva is more than disappointing. It's yet another opportunity the US blew to struggle against global racism.

Despite cosmetic changes to the Durban conference, there is every reason to believe we are in for yet another hate fest. Let's hope that this farce will not generate new tragedies.

The American Jewish Committee has said that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. It thus conflates Jewishness with Zionism, and this conflation is damaging the Jewish experience around the world.

Since reducing United States commitment to Israel may be a prerequisite to getting OPEC oil, the most promising short-term to mending the US economy, should the United States compromise and reduce some of its obligation to Israel?

Obama understands that American presidents need to be Zionists if a White House brokered Mideast peace is to last.
