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.
