Opinion U.S. Jewish Groups Say They Support a Two-state Solution. So Why Are They So Quiet While Trump Dismantles It?

Amid a barrage of anti-Palestinian actions, a tacit endorsement of Israel’s West Bank annexation, and an occupation-denying U.S. Ambassador, are the big guns of U.S. Jewry – AIPAC, ADL, AJC, JFNA – really too afraid to rock the boat with Trump?

Opinion There's No 'Resistance' Saving Israel-Palestine From Trump - and Unimaginable Catastrophe

There are no adults in the room, anonymous or not, diligently frustrating Trump's cruel, disastrous Mideast policy, only arsonists - Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt and David Friedman - dousing the house with kerosene

Opinion The Day Donald Trump Was Crowned King in Jerusalem

Opinion Trump's Policies Towards the Palestinians Are Based on Bad Faith, Ineptitude and Cruelty

Opinion As Trump and Netanyahu Meet, Our Plea as Interfaith Leaders: Stop Boosting the Proponents of a Religious War

Trump has consistently privileged the Israeli narrative and claims over those of the Palestinians. In his Jerusalem decision he also helped the destructive, unnecessary transformation of the conflict from a political to a religious struggle

Opinion The Israeli 'Left' Is Gaslighting U.S. Jews Into Support for Trump on Jerusalem

American Jews shouldn't take their cue from an Israeli left which is veering rightwards and indoctrinated by the false slogan of an 'eternal and undivided Jerusalem'. Trump's move sabotaged peace, and we U.S. Jews must push back against it

David Friedman, the United States Ambassador to Israel, speaks during a reception marking U.S Independence Day, Herzliya, Israel, July 3, 2017.

Opinion David Friedman Is Unfit to Be U.S. Ambassador to Israel. Fire Him

Friedman's recent comments show the 'moderate' positions he adopted during his nomination were entirely fake. How can the U.S. ambassador to Israel smear opponents, act as a representative of Israel's settlers and misrepresent U.S. policy?
