      Let's not forget what made America great - immigration

      Will it be Biden or Trump? What polls can teach us about Arab-American voters

      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

      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

      Biden's re-election campaign will be hit by how US voters view Israel

      It took years to create an Arab-American identity. We must fight to protect it

      There is an effort in the US to erase the community’s non-sectarian, ethnic identity and drag it back to the days of division

      CommentApril 16, 2024
      NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 26: Supporters of Palestine hold a rally in New York's financial district as the fighting continues in Gaza on October 26, 2023 in New York City.
