Opinion You don’t have to support Israel’s decisions, but please show empathy for your fellow Jews
On our drive home from Jerusalem, my kids and I head East towards the Judean Desert. On a normal day, it’s about a 20-minute drive, but if we take a short cut, we can make it home in 18 minutes. As we drive down the large six-lane Sderot Haim Barlev, we can make a right…

Opinion To uphold its founding promise, Israel must treat its Arab citizens as truly equal
The current cycle of violence between Israel and the Palestinians dispels two major illusions.

Opinion The U.S. must fight for fair Palestinian elections — and Israel should, too
After years of hibernation due to internal conflict, Palestinians were expecting to head to the polls on May 22 to choose local representatives to the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) — until those elections were (again) postponed indefinitely by President Mahmoud Abbas last week.

Opinion They’re Palestinians facing eviction in east Jerusalem. They may have helped save my family.
