How long does Israel have left to live? (a self-test)

Alicia Keys, May 14, 2013, in Orlando, Fla.

Be strong, Alicia Keys. Be fierce. Talk truth. Come to Israel.

Targeting Stephen Hawking and Dustin Hoffman: Right-wing 'pro-Israel' advocacy as hate speech

Increasingly, the rabid far-right 'pro-Israel' camp is carrying out repulsive, hate-filled attacks on Jews whose most cherished wish is to see a stronger, more democratic Israel. It is time to take a stand.
