American politicians and elites have increasingly superimposed an American racial ideology onto the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In this view, Israeli Jews are seen as “privileged” and “white,” making them an enemy of the “intersectional” coalition of the oppressed, including the American black community and Palestinians. Where did this idea come? How prevalent is it in universities and Democratic politics? What are its consequences? How can it be countered?

Despite scattered successes over the past two decades, the battle to reform Islam from the inside has made less progress than hoped.

Sept. 13 is the last day for Israel's political parties to unite, split, etc. Which parties joined together, who was left out, and what does this augur for the next Knesset?

Ireland has a deserved reputation as the European Union’s member most hostile to Israel. For example, a report of social media accounts concludes that "anti-Jewish racism in Ireland spreads within the corridors of power and, unlike in the UK or US, appears to be as much driven from the top down as the reverse." Why is this the case? Is Ireland an outlier or the start of a trend?

Mainstream media in the UK treats the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) - its equivalent of CAIR - as the representative voice of Muslims, despite MCB's lack of popular support and its ties to extremism and terror.
