israel/palestine

Israel doesn’t win him votes, but picking Ryan was a loser for him.

A brief take on the platform God-bacle.

Half the fight against bigotry might just lie in showing up. When Abraham Hassan stood up at Thursday night’s CNN debate, he introduced himself as a Palestinian-American and a Republican. Plainly, that’s not what I expected to hear.

Theologically and politically, Romney parted ways with LDS views on Islam and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Seriously.

The symbolic decision would only alienate those needed to make change.

It its efforts to support the Palestinian cause, the Kairos USA statement cherrypicks from the Bible and winds up in some old and discomfiting territory.

From Anne Hutchinson to the HHS contraception mandate.

In The Mirage, 9/11 is actually 11/9, the day when Christian fundamentalists from Texas slammed airliners into Baghdad skyscrapers, sparking a war on terror that rages across a nearly unrecognizable North America. Will Americans go for a book where the world power is the United Arab States and the lead characters are almost all Arabs and Muslims?

Not since The Israel Lobby has a Jewish book evoked so much ire and criticism from the American Jewish community.
