Rashida Tlaib’s Palestinian Theology of Good Samaritanism and Redemption

Pace Pompeo: What if the US is “Sowing Chaos” in Mideast & Iran is a Status Quo Power?
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told NBC that Iran is an active threat to US interests and “sowing chaos” in the Middle East. It strikes me that exactly the opposite is true. The Islamic Republic of Iran has in recent years, despite its heritage in the 1979 revolution, acted as […]
Failure to Launch: Trump’s Palestine ‘Deal’ Stillborn
By Asa Winstanley | @AsaWinstanley | – There is seemingly no stopping deluded prospectors digging for nuggets of gold in the empty mine of Palestinian leaders’ capitulation.
