With antisemitism rising, Palestine will never be free

But with antisemitism now rising, Jew-hating racists give Western and Western-allied powers plenty of reason to supply Israel with enough firepower to blow the whole Mideast off from the map. It doesn’t make sense. Nor should it. The United...

Biden’s militaristic aspirations will be in vain

For these purposes, he pursues them, of course. Which is, what? Votes. Votes, votes, votes. To watch Biden take further and further steps in the wrong direction seems odd to say the least. I say this as Americans’ views on...

Peace with Palestinians will never happen without making peace with Palestinians

In the aftermath of the horrific attacks, my Instagram became bombarded with the reactions of my Israeli peers ranging anywhere from compassionate sympathy to outrage and among others, calling for the death penalty for terrorists and the annexation of...

The Republican Party’s demise promises fun for the whole family

I should write this in multiple pieces, as the party’s timely end wasn’t caused by one single factor. Rather, it was a consequence of the deeds of a newfangled leader. We all know who I’m talking about. Without him,...

Cornel West could save the United States

As a progressive leftist, watching Joe Biden get credit for all the things he has not done makes my blood boil and feel anger mixed with sorrow for my American brothers and sisters. A recent example of this was the...

US politics yearns for age limits

Time and time again, the US has shown that its aging leaders are incapable of creating a path toward progress for the citizens of the country. So-called stateswomen and statesmen who lived their “youths” -- the most active periods...

The Republican Party is embarassing itself

I, by no means, identify as a Democrat. Warplanes decorated with rainbow flags are still warplanes. Kamala Harris was chosen as a token and by no means does she resemble true progress towards equality. Democrats are as much leftists as China's free...

Don’t protest Tel Aviv’s new light rail

That’s right, I said it. When an otherwise incompetent, xenophobic, and even, in my view, annoying government accidentally succeeds in doing something positive, we should celebrate, not pretend to hate it. I’m aware that most of the protests were aimed at...
