What’s happening in the Middle East was enabled by a president with ideological priors, aides who failed to push back, and a cheerleading media establishment.

A Gaza voting bloc helped the left in France and cost Labour votes in the U.K. What will happen here?

He cited four obstacles to peace, one of which was not the United States Congress. It’s changing now—but AIPAC is spending millions to make sure it doesn’t.

It has taken a back seat to great-power competition. And this week at the White House, guess who’s coming to dinner?

It may not be up there with East Timor, but the practice of turning vast global contacts into wealth has been horrible for American democracy.

Opposition to U.S. adventurism is principled. But this is Putin’s adventurism, and the left must stand firmly against it.
