When Andrew McCarthy drew a parallel between the treatment of State Department official (and Soviet spy) Alger Hiss in the 1940s and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin Weiner today it reminded me of an interesting discovery from my own research, as documented in my history of the State Department, Secrets of State.

Violent discrimination of Christians has been a systematic feature of Muslim/Arab societies.

The Palestinian Arab/Israeli conflict has “tempered” Israeli democracy, providing equal rights even to Arabs and Jews who refute her right to exist.

Contrary to political-correctness, the Palestinian issue has never been the crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict, a crown-jewel of Arab policy-makers, nor a core-cause of regional turbulence

Islamists spoke of “Love and Justice in a World of Suffering,” skipping the horrors caused by Islam

At 18% interest, consumers have to borrow to pay the interest on previous loans. In other words Turkish banks are capitalizing interest, and booking profits on loans that would go sour if they stopped lending additional money to borrowers to pay the interest.

Reports confirm a profound, bilateral disconnect between Israelis living in US and local Jewish communities. We're not embracing Israelis living here, and, unsurprisingly, they're not embracing us.

Perhaps an artist should be judged without regard to his/her political affiliations or actions, but the Metropolitan Museum's exhibit on the collection of Gertrude Stein and her family purports to present the story of the collection and of Gertrude's life in France.

The approved article states that non-Muslims who commit the same crime face at least 10 years in jail.

A rush to conclude an MOU before the next president takes office would sacrifice long-term strategic interests on the altar of short-term strategic convenience.
