I wrote an article two years ago about an attempt by some of Israel's supporters to pass a blatantly unconstitutional New York State bill  that would punish supporters of BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions.)  The bill failed back then, but its supporters are at it again.  

In his Daily Beast column, "Can Muslim American's Stop ISIS?", Dean Obeidallah notes that Muslim leaders are already reaching out to fellow Muslims to prevent them from turning to the evil distorted vers

Wow! A recent poll showed 41% of Trump supporters approved of bombing the fictional city of Agrabah.

Scared-of-their-shadow Republicans (and a few Democrats) are trying to block Syrian refugees from entering the U.S.  They must not be allowed to win for the following reasons.

Steven Colbert did a great thing.  That's not news.  Steven Colbert does a lot of great things.  But this may be one of the best things he has done.

Read this very important article in Al-Monitor explaining that the two-state solution is dead and Israel is on the brink of a civil war.

Ben Carson has admitted he has a violent past.  On NBC's Meet the Press he said,

A video from a October 7 showing how the IDF handled stone throwing Palestinians now prompts me to re-examine that claim. Actually, I should modify my statement that the stone throwers were Palestinian. Some of them were actually undercover IDF or border police officers.
