Attempts to Delegitimize: Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly
It takes a lot to make UN delegates walk out from an address to the General Assembly.

The “Fat Boy Posse’s” Impending Attack on Iran
Mesopotamia. Babylon. The Tigris and Euphrates. How many children in how many classrooms, over how many centuries, have been hang-glided through the past, transported on the wings of these words?

Destroying Gaza City
Destroying cultures and eradicating the legacies of a people is a game the parochial and the dim-witted delight in. While this should be shunned and punished in international law, a general discomfort of purpose seems to trouble the friends of Israel as the state goes about its business of ruining what vestiges of living might […]
