Mr. President, This letter is an exercise in political imagination—not a prediction, and certainly not an endorsement. I do not expect its suggestions to awaken your conscience. But with you, a dramatic reversal never seems entirely impossible. That is not necessarily a compliment. It does leave room to imagine something almost nobody expects: that you…
Democrats have won Congress. Now they have to show they can govern. They should limit investigations to the most serious abuses, work with Trump wherever he cooperates, and serve the whole nation rather than their party. With a new generation of leaders rising, how they use these two years will shape 2028 The Democrats’ sweep…
Trump cannot bomb Iran into a lasting peace. The real test of American strength is not the power to destroy, but the wisdom to negotiate. The choice is compromise—or a catastrophe that neither side can contain There is no durable military solution to the American-Israeli conflict with Iran.

The election has opened a path away from Netanyahu’s disastrous rule. Israel’s opposition must now choose: build a Jewish-Arab governing partnership or risk surrendering the country’s future to the forces tearing it apart Israel stands at a historic crossroads.

The irony is staggering:…

The West Bank’s suffering is not a security policy—it is a warning of Israel’s own moral collapse There are crimes that arrive with explosions, and crimes that advance quietly—through a bulldozer…
Israel’s claim that the IDF is “the most moral army in the world” did not survive Gaza. What emerged was not moral exceptionalism, but a machinery of devastation so vast that the slogan now stands as an indictment—of power without restraint and conscience without consequences One of the most consistent claims Israel has made over…
More often than not, I find myself at a loss for words to convey Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the relentless havoc that the Israeli government enables settlers to inflict upon Palestinians in the West Bank. Rather than write yet another article expressing my outrage and disgust, I chose to speak in a more immediate…
