COMMENTARY / World
Sep 16, 2014
Did Hamas emerge victorious in the latest war?
This summer's war in Gaza shook the status quo by making Israel look worse and by breathing life back into Hamas. It did not, however, resolve any part of the dispute between Israelis and Palestinians.

Can Palestine win the peace?
The tremendous sympathy and support Palestinians received from international observers because of the high price they paid during their 51-day war with Israel will be useless if the leaders of Hamas and Fatah fail to maintain a united front.

U.S. media coverage reveals a pro-Israel bias
Imagine Boston, including its coast, hemmed in by a relentlessly hostile superior power ready to attack it anytime from air, land and sea. Boston is about a third of the Gaza Strip in land area, but the same in population density.

COMMENTARY / World
Aug 8, 2014
Gaza war may be a taste of the future
The latest war between Israel and Hamas is further testament to the historical fact that Israel's forefathers had to conquer the land that today's Israelis dwell in and ferociously defend. Is there hope of finding a lasting settlement with the Arabs?
COMMENTARY / World
Aug 5, 2014
Is Israel's offense morally defensible?
To say that Israel's actions are less clearly wrong than those of Hamas is not to say much. While pursuing its legitimate military objectives in Gaza, Israel should be showing more concern for Gaza's trapped civilians.

In this Gaza war, the truth lies underground
One of the more astonishing facts of this Gaza war is that the tunnels that Hamas has dug under the border with Israel are not designed for commerce, but for kidnapping. The tunnels reportedly contain tranquilizers and handcuffs, seemingly meant to gain physical control over Israelis who have been seized.

Why Hamas joining Fatah is good for Mideast peace
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's personal investment in the Mideast peace process exerts enough leverage to make the Israelis and Palestinians pretend to talk — but not enough to make them agree to something they otherwise don't really want. The Fatah-Hamas rapprochement may be a good thing.
