As we have been suggesting for some time, the so-called two-state solution seems higher on the Biden agenda than that of various Gulf Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, who recognize the Iranian threat implicit in a Palestinian state.

They fail to understand a traumatized nation facing genocidal foes—one that is united behind a war whose aim is the preservation of their very existence.

Those of us who wake up to see our children every day cannot fathom the reality people like Rachel and Jon have been subjected to.

In this Trump case the valuations he offered were just that, offers, and made in the context of industry-wide practice that lenders always do their own due diligence in verification of what they understand to be subjective presentations.

One of the many distressing aspects of the campaign to criminalize Israeli civilians is that it’s apparently the first target. The next one? The IDF.
