  • Israeli Influence on Full Display; Russiagate MIA

    “The influence of the Israel lobby is pervasive and detrimental to the cause of peace and democracy.

  • The Violent Consequences of Antisemitic Bigotry

    “”The damage done by conspiracy and vigilante violence alters the fabric of democracy, and our collective capacity to understand what is going on in our world, to trust each other. The degradation of politics and attacks on the vulnerable, now proliferating, did not start with Donald Trump, but he rides its wave.”

  • Brazil Elects Far-Right Authoritarian

    “We will have very difficult times ahead in Brazil with increasing intolerance, violence, racism, sexism, homophobia and repression against progressive movements, universities and indigenous communities, stimulated by a discourse of hate that characterizes Bolsonaro and his supporters.
