Obama goes soft on Iran — again
After listening to speeches during the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly, I concluded that both U.S. President Barack Obama and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad do not take each other seriously.

On Jerusalem, the U.S. must be an honest broker for peace
Commentator Robert Pines could not have been more wrong in his statement that East Jerusalem was "annexed" by Israel in 1967 ("U.S. must recognize Israel's capital," Aug. 15). The facts are that Israel started a war in 1967 in order to steal...Tags: West Bank, Israel

U.S. needs to hold Israel accountable
The article, "Jewish population hits new high in West Bank," (July 27) states that 350,000 Jewish settlers now occupy the West Bank, as well as nearly 300,000 in the occupied East Jerusalem. Israel is in violation of international law, the 4th Geneva...Tags: West Bank, Judaism, Israel, Gaza Strip

Op-ed takes a too rosy view of Iranian intentions

Gaza flotilla was not a peaceful aid convoy

Mr. Abbas' mission
Signs of movement toward renewed cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas have Israeli officials on edge. Israel considers Hamas a terrorist organization committed to its destruction and has shunned negotiations. In the wake of...Tags: Elections, Egypt, West Bank, National Government, Hamas

Hamas will never accede to peace with Israel
The Sun editorial "Mr. Abbas' mission" (Feb. 13) is a triumph of wishful thinking over analysis. Its self-contradictions and omissions include: •Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas "would have to exercise the kind of statesmanship that has...Tags: Palestine, West Bank, Egypt, National Government, Hamas

There's no moral equivalency between the Israeli and Palestinian 'narratives'
James W. Dale makes a welcome point in his commentary about the divestment campaign against Israel ("Choosing to stay engaged: Anti-Israel measures like divestment are not the best way to seek justice for Palestinians," May 4). It is, as he says, vital...Tags: Palestine, Judaism, West Bank, Israel, Hamas

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." President Obama's vow to veto Palestinian statehood at the U.N. is...Tags: Landforms, Barack Obama, Caves and Caverns, Israel, United Nations

The Sun falls for Palestinian spin
The Sun reports ("Bid for statehood may end; Possible deal delays U.N. debate, retains aid to Palestinians," September 21) that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas "decided to approach the U.N. this year [for statehood recognition] because of...Tags: Regional Authority, West Bank, Israel, Yasser Arafat, Foreign Aid
