“The nightmare in Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a crisis of humanity,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres told reporters in New York, adding that the need for a ceasefire is becoming “more urgent with every passing hour.” Hundreds of thousands of people are demonstrating across the planet in opposition to the outrage of being […]

Denying the Security of the Oppressed Imperils the Security of the Oppressor

Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

I’ve been thinking for quite awhile how the most depraved position of the Israeli government becomes the baseline view here in the United States, particularly in politics and media.
