Opinion Why Is Rashida Tlaib Letting AIPAC – And Bibi – Off The Hook
In a major scoop, The Intercept revealed on Monday that Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian to enter U.S. Congress, would be leading her own delegation to the West Bank, instead of taking the trip to Israel sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Fast Forward AIPAC Emphasizes Support For Two States In Possible Break From Trump Peace Plan
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The American Israel Public Affairs Committee reemphasized its support for a two-state solution as the Trump administration nears completion of a peace proposal that might stop short of recommending the establishment of a Palestinian state. “AIPAC remains fully supportive of direct negotiations leading to a two-state solution — a Jewish state of…

Opinion Don’t Be Fooled: Nikki Haley Is Just Like Trump
Nikki Haley’s abrupt departure from her position as US Ambassador to the UN quickly sparked hope in the beleaguered ranks of Never-Trump Republicans, eager for the former South Carolina governor to challenge President Trump in the 2020 Republican primaries.

Opinion Ambassador David Friedman Can’t Silence the Pro-Israel, Pro-Peace Movement
It seems those of us defining ourselves as “pro-Israel, pro-peace” have gotten under the skin of America’s Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. At AIPAC’s annual policy conference this week, he called those who define ourselves this way “blasphemous.” (I suppose that’s better than what he called us during the presidential campaign in 2016.)
