Who was better for Palestinians, Trump, Bush or Obama?

Who was better for Palestinians, Trump, Bush or Obama?

Who was better for Palestinians, Trump, Bush or Obama? Much is made of how President Obama was a “Muslim,” a myth perpetrated by his middle name being Hussein, and how he was a good president for Palestinians and peace. But when you look at the consequences of his term in office, you have to wonder…

Illinois Politicians pursue new trend with Arab Americans

Illinois Politicians pursue new trend with Arab Americans

Illinois Politicians pursue new trend with Arab Americans For many years, Arab Americans were frequently abused by politicians who targeted them in mudslinging tirades and public attacks. In 2000, Hillary Clinton returned money from an Arab Muslim organization because pro-Israel fanatics accused them of supporting terrorism. The charge was false but Clinton returned the money…

Kathy Griffin and the real US extremism

Kathy Griffin and the real US extremism I’m sick and tired of the anti-Trump jihadists who care more about destroying their political enemy, President Donald Trump, than they do about making American Great.

“Love Trumps Hate” only fueling his success

“Love Trumps Hate” only fueling his success Hillary Clinton lost the November 2016 election by focusing her message on attacking Donald Trump and believing that there was no way the people would accept his message of change.

Reason not emotion with Trump can save Palestine Many Muslims and Arabs have made the mistake of approaching the 2016 Presidential election with their emotions rather than common sense, reason and an understanding of the American political system.

Trump’s path to victory through corrupt news media

Trump’s path to victory was through the corrupt news media Donald Trump won the presidency by ignoring the media bigotry, bias and attacks, and concentrating on connecting with the majority of Americans.

Hypocrisy is the real issue in this election

Hypocrisy is the real issue in this election There is a debate over the language used by some rappers and hip hop artists. And I think that debate is important. But this is bigger than that debate.
