The Jewish Schism Deepens-An Analysis "This year, American Jews have been part of a racial reckoning in our community. " How are we complicit with racial violence? Jewish communities " have had teach-ins and workshops, held vigils, and commissioned studies. And yet " so many of us ignore the day-to-day indignity that the Israeli military and police forces enact on Palestinians, and sit idly by as Israel upholds two separate legal systems for the same region.

A Problem of Clerical Hypocrisy On 12 September 2021, Rabbi Wolpe had an opinion piece, written at the time of Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, in the New York Times. It is entitled "A Rabbi's Guide to Making Amends." It turns out that his recommendations are as easily applied to offenses committed by the Zionist national collective as to any Jewish individual.

A Forever Foreign Policy Debate It is important to look at this debate just because it is going on among those to whom policy makers pay attention. And, through such an examination, to realize that any exchange at this level of insiders is unlikely to get at the core problems of U.S. foreign policy.

Abortion and the Culture War It is anyone's guess if, devoid of able and forceful Democratic leadership clearly articulating what is at stake, enough voting American citizens will understand the risk or have the motivation to stop a reactionary takeover.

How to Undermine a Diplomatic Triumph The true status of current negotiations to reinstate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran is unknown to the American public -- most of whom are tragically indifferent to the outcome. This is so even though the successful negotiation of this deal with Iran back in 2015 represents one of the greatest triumphs of diplomacy in the last hundred years.

The Democracy vs. Freedom Dispute In the United States, there is a dispute over whether democracy and freedom are compatible. Some, such as Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, have questioned their compatibility, and even asserted that freedom, rather than democracy, is what the U.S. really stands for.

Israeli Apartheid Confirmed Western governments are so committed to Israel -- and steeped in the hypocrisy this requires -- that they will simply ignore the HRW revelations, as they did the earlier reports.

Joe Biden's Heartfelt Illogic about Israel Joe Biden will sustain Israeli dominance in the region even as that country confirms itself as a rightist, racist threat to human rights and international law. Biden may lose his moment in history.

The Saturday Night Live Joke versus Israeli Behavior Zionists are deceitful because they purposely conflate Zionism which is an ethnocentric political ideology adhered to by a subset of Jews, with Judaism, a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural religion. Then they insist that Israel's allies -- particularly the United States -- adhere to this same propagandistic conflation.

The 1776 Commission Report One of Donald Trump's efforts to restructure, or maybe de-structure, the U.S. was the establishment of a 1776 Commission. Its job was to recast American history in an extravagantly patriotic fashion so as to assert U.S. exceptionalism.

A Near Miss with Despotic Selfishness Donald Trump spent four years glorifying and modeling his selfishness. His worst performance came with the COVID-19 pandemic. At that point, Trump played the role of the despotic Nero fiddling while the United States went down in the flames of a worldwide plague.
