Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint meeting of the US Congress last month. AP
Who really is to blame for the Middle East conflict?
CommentAugust 05, 2024
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint meeting of Congress at the US Capitol in Washington. Reuters
Netanyahu's speech in the US Congress points to a divided electorate

Republicans may have turned out in full force but not every corner of Washington supports Israel's goals

CommentJuly 29, 2024
US Vice President Kamala Harris has all but clinched the nomination to lead the Democratic Party in this year's presidential election. EPA
Even as Biden makes way for Harris, the US election is business as usual

Trump retains his iron grip over the Republicans, the two parties are fighting over the same issues, and gun violence is still a problem

CommentJuly 24, 2024
The US has seen mass protests in support of Palestine since the start of the Gaza war. AFP
Do the Democrats have the courage to really commit to Palestinian rights?

It is long past time for this to become a mainstream issue in liberal America

CommentJuly 17, 2024
US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on a White House balcony with first lady Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff during an Independence Day celebration in Washington, on July 4. Reuters
Democrats insist on protecting Biden but there is another way

Instead of facing the problem of his decline, the White House and the party have doubled down on denial

CommentJuly 09, 2024
Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) concedes during his Primary Election Night Watch Party in Yonkers, New York,, June 25. Reuters
A loss in the Democratic primary is a win for Israel that may not go Biden's way

Jamaal Bowman was defeated in the Democratic primary but support for Palestinian rights continues to grow

CommentJuly 04, 2024
Protesters take to the streets to call on the Israeli cabinet to sign a hostage deal in Tel Aviv this month. EPA
Was Biden's peace meant to be this confusing?

If it is Biden's word against Netanyahu's, what exactly were the terms of the ceasefire deal to end the war?

CommentJune 24, 2024
Women of South Vietnam at the 39th "Immigrants Parade - International Cultures Celebration" in New York City, on June 8. AFP
Let's not forget what made America great - immigration

The US wouldn't be what it is without refugees and immigrants having brought their unique cultures to the country and built a strong and diverse society

CommentJune 18, 2024
Arab Americans voting. Getty Images
Will it be Biden or Trump? What polls can teach us about Arab-American voters

The biggest reason for Biden’s ratings boils down to one word: Gaza

CommentJune 11, 2024
A makeshift camp for displaced Palestinians in Tel Al Sultan, Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, on May 30. AFP
Israel’s apology for bombing Rafah was not only half-hearted but backhanded too

Netanyahu said there was a tragic mishap and they were investigating the incident. A bombing at an encampment the very next day only highlighted the insincerity of those words

CommentJune 03, 2024
Barack Obama with Georgia Democrat candidates in October 2022. The 'Obama coalition' is slowly coming apart. EPA
How the 'Obama coalition' cost the Democrats the working class

The party fell into a trap set by the Republicans, and now it is paying for it

CommentMay 27, 2024
Then Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, left, admires the bumper sticker on the car of Congressman Pete McCloskey as the congressman looks on, in San Jose, California, on September 25, 1980. Mr McCloskey died on May 8 at the age of 96. AP
Pete McCloskey, supporter of Palestinian rights, taught me a great lesson

A week before he died, I reminded the former congressman of what a hero he had always been to those of us who still wanted to believe that there were elected officials who could be principled, non-partisan fighters for justice

CommentMay 21, 2024
Pro Palestinian demonstrators near the US Capitol on February 1. Getty Images
Biden's re-election campaign will be hit by how US voters view Israel

Because Israeli behaviour will not change, those within the Democratic Party will not ‘go quietly into the night’

CommentMay 13, 2024
Peace activists in New York City on May 1. Getty Images via AFP
The US needs to change direction for peace

Instead of finding a constructive way forward, the US has fallen back on its past failed policies, fuelling conflict and increasing insecurity

CommentMay 06, 2024
Students and faculty members of various American colleges show their support for Gaza during a rally in Chicago last week. AFP
Pro-Palestinian student protests in the US aren't going to leave Biden unscathed

As repression against student demonstrators continue, their effect on the presidential election is growing evident
