Among the scores of ridiculous things said, thought, and written about the Arab-Israeli conflict, the pretense that it has something to do with “race” may be the most foolish… Continue reading
Would mainstream media mavens be willing to discuss their practices and listen to critics? Will discussions like this change anything in terms of how stories about conflicts are framed and phrased… Continue reading

Unlike pirate operations off the coast of Somalia, carried out by one terrorist group, the daily claimed that the “Zionist regime” took over the flotilla in an act of government-sponsored piracy.

Ex-President Jimmy Carter has recently asked Jews for forgiveness. Carter claims that the fact that his grandson is now running for office in their home state of Georgia has nothing to do with his apology.
