Election controversy in Florida for Governor and Senate
Here we go again! As that noted philosopher, Yogi Berra, might have said, it is "deja vu all over again." It seems that in every election cycle there are substantive issues with the validity of the vote count in...

Tending the Garden: Turning a corner in the Israeli-Diaspora crisis
Relationships are a lot like gardening, they need constant tending. The Israel-Diaspora relationship, a unique alliance born of shared history and a common destiny, has lately resembled a forlorn flower bed. Weeds galore. Pottery shards. Planters up-ended. But for many who...

It takes two to divide
This god of ours has a wicked sense of humor. It keeps playing the same joke on us over and over and over again. It can’t get enough. No matter how many times we repeat the cycle, it still...

Israel or Diaspora? – Part 2: How it is when Politics is Religion
