The upcoming U.S. and Israeli elections will likely lead Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu to renew their misguided war on Iran with even greater ferocity than before in an effort to save their political lives.
Mohammed bin Salman rejected Benjamin Netanyahu’s offer to help fight Ansar Allah in Yemen, but the Crown Prince may soon run out of options as Israel seeks to exploit Saudi concerns to its advantage.
The struggle for Palestinian liberation is a threat to the global world order. That’s why no one is “stopping” Israel.
The contours of the battle over the future of the Democrats’ policy toward Israel are starting to take shape, and J Street is trying to cement support for the existence of a Jewish ethno-state as the Party’s bottom line.
After relying on an unreliable Trump for defense, suspending normalization talks with Israel, and losing access to the Bab-al-Mandab Strait, Saudi Arabia turns to hesitant allies for help.
Whether it’s Macklemore, Hasan Piker, or your neighborhood activist, this is a fight to make sure billionaires and politicians cannot stop free speech and will have to hear the calls to “Free Palestine” whether they like it or not.
The UK’s new sanctions on Israeli settlements may be groundbreaking, but they’re also full of loopholes. F-35 parts are exempt, the state itself is untouched, and enforcement won’t start for months. Real progress, but far from enough.
The U.S. and Iran are trading strikes while carefully avoiding all-out war, and both sides are hiding the damage they’ve suffered. The difference is Iran has more reason to end the stalemate, and less patience for Washington’s forever-war strategy.
