If you ever need a simple explanation for your friends about conditions in Palestine, please…

Will Israel’s abdication of responsibility precipitate a crisis in the American relationship to Israel?

As if the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh wasn’t enough, Israel outdid itself on Friday when it attacked her funeral.
