    Yes, but it's less traditional, even unsavory, when the turkey's name is Michael Flynn.

    Unsurprising but nonetheless outrageous reactions from the pro-Israel right and others who trade in phony charges of antisemitism to excellent appointment of Reema Dodin by .

    20 yrs ago was the poster-child darling of the West as he fought for 's independence. Today he's in the facing war crimes charges. Surely there must be a way to fight a war without committing war crimes. Maybe not.

    Hoping that things on the Israel-Palestine front will take a positive turn in Biden’s Administration.

    My deepest sympathy to the family of Saeb Erekat who was a partner for peace, a committed colleague and a friend. Rest in peace, my friend. Your memory will be a blessing for all who knew you.

    When you need an election respite, check out this powerful piece by on how Netanyahu's bonding with the GOP & Trump has spoiled US-Israel relations unpredictably and well into the future. Maybe Biden and a Bibi successor can fix it.

    "It is striking that [Norah] O’Donnell [of 60 Minutes] felt it appropriate to ask Harris if she is a socialist—and lots of people apparently think that’s a legitimate question—while no one seems to be asking Trump, who is currently in power, if he’s a fascist."

    For sure there will be no justice for the perpetrators, and probably no peace for the settlers.

    The people on far right and far left who publicized the obviously bogus story were not dupes. They were accomplices. The story could not have been more obviously fake if it had been wearing dollar-store spectacles and attached plastic mustache.

    Shameful statements about treating from Israeli MKs (B&W), (Likud), and, of course, Yamina's Smotrich . "When you behave like your enemy, your enemy has won."

    Wishing Saeb a full and speedy recovery. Hope you get well soon and we can meet again soon somewhere.

    Me too. And I encouraged others. Second time. In the pathetic hope that liberal Jews could win significant power in the WZO structure. Totally hopeless. I won’t do it a third time.

    I'm not a big fan of online petitions, but the SCOTUS situation is desperate. Sign the Demand Progress petition exhorting Dems to do everything they can to stall or block the vote on Barrett. Please.

    A sad day in America when we get information like this about what to do about armed militias (aka Trumpian thugs) election day. Any reasonable, patriotic Republican hierarchy would invoke the 25th Amendment as Trump is clearly running off the rails.

    As if anyone needed another reason to work against her, described the debate debacle thusly: "There was fault on both sides..." Really? Like there were "good people" on both sides in Charlottesville?

    Spot-on US political analysis from . Liberal Zionists, whatever that really means, have no chance winning over or the rest of the Squad. Too bad because productive alliances could have been forged.
