Trump Is Dismantling the International Order

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   The Trump Administration’s declaration that Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian lands are not illegal was, in fact, a consequential act – ­though not for the reasons cited by Israelis or Palestinians. It was also "the nail in the coffin" ­– though not the "coffin...

Netanyahu's Real Crimes

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   After years of investigation and months of delay, Israel's Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit formally indicted Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes ranging from his violation of public trust to bribery and fraud. Israel's apologists will argue that the fact that a sitting Prime Minister has been...

The Cycle of Death Continues

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   One evening, almost two decades ago, I was on CNN's "Crossfire" sitting opposite a Democratic Congressman (who is no longer in office, having repeatedly disgraced himself in "sexting" scandals). We were there to debate Israel's botched assassination of a Hamas leader in Gaza. They...

Posted by Omar Baddar

For a growing number of Americans on both sides of our ever-deepening political divide, the 2020 presidential election has become a critical contest about the future of our country.

Listen to the Lebanese People

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   In 2012, I wrote an article about Lebanon that still rings true today. It ended with a quote from one of my favorite pieces written by Kahlil Gibran "You Have Your Lebanon, I Have My Lebanon." I am including below some of my July...

“Attention Must Be Paid” to the Sufferings of the Palestinian People

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   With mass protests roiling Lebanon and Iraq, unsettling developments in Syria and Yemen, and the latest episode of the continuing soap opera that calls itself Israeli politics, little attention is being given to the plight of the Palestinians. One consequence of this neglect is...

In the Wake of Trump's Broken Promises: The Need for an Arab Strategy

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   When Donald Trump was first elected, I warned Arab friends to be careful not to put their all of their eggs in a basket that I had every reason to believe would soon unravel. Back then, many Arabs, having felt let down by the...

The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back?

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   I have never forgotten a political cartoon that appeared in the midst of the Watergate impeachment investigation. It caricatured the strange relationship evangelical Christians had with then President Richard Nixon, and speaks to me today of way the current group of right-wing preachers are...

Our Democracy in Crisis?

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   I don't know which metaphor to use to describe the current crisis in our politics because so many come to mind. Are we at a tipping point? The edge of a cliff? Or sitting on a volcano waiting for it to explode? You can...

It's Israeli Policy, Stupid

Posted by James Zogby

By Dr. James J. Zogby   Much to the consternation of Western liberals, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take the first crack at assembling a new government. Their concern is both misplaced and mistaken. Misplaced, because the odds are slim that Netanyahu will be...
