There's no moral equivalency between the Israeli and Palestinian 'narratives'

Hamas will never accede to peace with Israel

U.N. ploy could benefit Israel

President Obama caves in to Israel — again
The recent article about President Barack Obama's speech at the United Nations ("Obama stands by Israel at U.N.," Sept. 22 ) should have been headlined, "Obama caves in to Israel again."

A U.S. veto of Palestinian statehood would uphold international law
I disagree with Ariel Ilan Roth's op-ed "U.S. is Wrong on Palestine" (Sept. 21). I will make a purely legal argument why the U.S. should veto Palestine's unilateral attempt for statehood in the United Nations. The following information is from the...Tags: Documentary (genre), Turkey, International Law, Palestine, Civil Rights

Rabbi Michael Lerner: Fairness for both sides key to Middle East peace
President Barack Obama is reported to have said to his advisors last week that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would never make the concessions necessary for a peace accord. Well, we in the peace movement say, "duhhh."
