My wife and I were merely inconvenienced, but our story might give Americans a sense of this war’s impacts on millions of people.

Recognition of Palestinian statehood—especially from the U.K.—is not merely symbolic. It has specific ramifications under international law.

The Trump administration has denied visas to Mahmoud Abbas and 80 others for the U.N. meeting. The grounds are as flimsy as you’d expect.

If the Israel-Iran ceasefire holds—good for Donald Trump. But how about he turns his attention to the war that Israel is still waging against a starving people?

The attack in Colorado, like the recent murders in Washington, must be condemned unequivocally. This is not the path to justice.

Today, Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, when we were removed from our homes and land. We carry the stories of our families not to dwell on the past, but to shape a better future.

Donald Trump is just playing on anti-Palestinian prejudice. “Shara’a Simsim” did a lot of good—until a GOP congresswoman cut the funding.

It is unclear whether Trump’s statement is the incubation of a plan or a slip of the tongue reflecting chatter he was privy to at Mar-a-Lago. But does it matter?

The pager attacks and three high-profile assassinations are intelligence and military coups. But there’s little sign they’ve weakened or divided the opposition.

As we’ve seen, it’s hard for the U.S. to defend Israel and send it arms and be an honest broker for a cease-fire. There’s a better way.

The world—except the United States—has begun to muster itself. But still, innocents die.

The deal on the table right now should be acceptable to both sides, but Israel’s insistence on carrying through with its Rafah plans is a rod in the wheels of peace.

Israel and Iran have flexed their muscles. But all this must stop here and now. Time to lead, Joe.

Netanyahu has never been for peace. But the moment of truth is coming. Israel must share the land or share the power.

The war is far from over, but it’s still time to talk about the day after. There’s a big gap between what is possible and what the current Israeli government wants.

Civilian men are stripped, made to kneel, and lined up. An IDF soldier wreaks havoc in a Gaza toy store. Why? Because they can.

I admire the stated principles of the United States of America. I want it to live up to them.
