I wonder if Donald Trump knows that five times as many U.S. soldiers died in Afghanistan under his watch than under Biden's or is he so demented he doesn't realize this fact.

An Israeli court has blocked the general strike in Israel and Netanyahu has thus far resisted demands from Israel's antiwar majority. The impact of the protests may be greater here in the United States, however, since it shows how Biden has been lying about Hamas being the main

In reading an article about the US confiscation of a plane owned by Venezuelan president Maduro, it noted that the aircraft was registered in the tiny European country of San Marino. San Marino doesn’t even have an airport.

There are those downplaying the importance of the massive protests and general strike in Israel because the protesters' primary concern is the fate of Israeli hostages, not the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians being killed. Let's remember, however, that much of the

Here is a ten-minute segment of a panel I was recently on sponsored by the Arab Organization for Human Rights-UK in which I talk about the Biden administration and the ceasefire talks, U.S. policy towards Israel/Palestine, and how Harris would likely bring in a slight improvement

The Biden administration is quick to condemn war crimes targeting white people while providing the arms to commit war crimes against brown people.

One thing Trump and Harris agree on: the American people are wrong about restricting military aid to governments engaged in massive war crimes.

Having lived in Sweden for the first six months of this year—where new parents get 440 days of paid parental leave followed by a choice of either free day care or a stipend to stay at home with their kids—the contrast with the situation here in the United States is all the more

The Biden administration has been unable to back up its claim that these educational institutions were being used by Hamas terrorists. There is little question that they have been deliberately targeted by U.S.-backed Israeli forces.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children are unable to go back to school this week. (While the Biden administration has done an admirable job in supporting education for American children, it cares little for the education of Palestinian children.)
