Israel’s hypocritical demonization of its critics

Israel’s hypocritical demonization of its critics Israeli’s are the first to demand just but the last to dish it out.

Trump slammed for policies on immigrant children, and UN

Trump slammed for policies on immigrant children, and UN President Trump came under fire this week for a series of policy slips ranging from the mishandling of immigrant children to his administration’s rejection of the fundamental principles of human rights.

Muslims, Arabs, Palestinians ignore Nordstrom support of Israeli settlements The Arab, Muslim and even the Palestinian community in America is so easily misled by the mainstream American news media which is the primary source of anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism and hatred.

Obama argues the Iraq war only helped strengthen Iran
