  1. What Obama really said in Israel

    "I honestly believe that if any Israeli parent sat down with those (Palestinian) kids, they'd say, 'I want these kids to succeed.'"
    "I honestly believe that if any Israeli parent sat down with those (Palestinian) kids, they'd say, 'I want these kids to succeed.'" — President Barack Obama, in Jerusalem, March 21 — Very true. But how does the other side feel about...

  2. Palestinian Oscar nominee briefly held at LAX

    JERUSALEM -- West Bank filmmaker Emad Burnat is hoping to make history Sunday by becoming the first Palestinian to win an Oscar, but he almost missed the chance to attend the ceremony when immigration officials at Los Angeles International Airport initially balked at letting him in the country.

  3. Joel Brinkley: Settlements still blocking Middle East peace agreement

    American Voices
    President Obama's makeup visit to Israel was a great success, by most measures, but don't expect peace between Israelis and Palestinians anytime soon -- despite Obama's ringing call for it. Relations between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin...

  4. Israeli zealotry is not true obstacle to peace

    KAL's cartoon of March 24 depicting President Barack Obama disinterring a dove representing the two-state solution, only to see the dove shot at by "Israeli extremists" and "Palestinian extremists" is witty, clever, and inaccurate. The cartoon lazily rehashes the simplistic but false narrative that zealots on both sides are responsible for continuation of the conflict and equally to blame for the lack of a peaceful resolution.

  6. Palestinian politics do matter

    With President Obama's visit to Israel and the occupied territories now behind us, attention is likely to turn to how we might restart the peace process. But if the past is any indication, one crucial element will be largely ignored in the discussion: Palestinian politics.

  7. 'Gatekeepers': The inside men of Shin Bet ★★★★

    Outside the realm of extremists, of which there is no shortage in the bloody Israeli/Palestinian morass, few would suggest an easy solution to anything in the Middle East. Remarkably, however, given the six different personalities and viewpoints captured in "The Gatekeepers," filmmaker Dror Moreh has come up with a needle-sharp, profoundly humane political documentary folding the separate testimonies of former heads of Shin Bet, Israel's secret service operation, into a brilliantly sustained argument for a different, smarter, humane way forward.

  8. 'Peace is possible,' Obama insists in Middle East

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Insisting "peace is possible," President Barack Obama on Thursday prodded both Israelis and Palestinians to return to long-stalled negotiations with few, if any, pre-conditions, softening his earlier demands that Israel stop building settlements in disputed territory.

  9. Flight of fancy

    Cal Thomas
    President Obama should listen to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the "founder" of shuttle diplomacy. Kissinger told Bloomberg TV's Judy Woodruff recently that he sees little hope in the "Arab Spring," nor is he optimistic about peace in the...

  11. Should Obama have gone to Israel?

    President Obama flew to Israel on Wednesday to reassure Israelis that the U.S. will stand with them against their enemies. It’s his first visit to Israel as president, even though he visited Cairo a few years ago. He has sparred in the past with Prime Minister Netanyahu over issues such as settlements on the West Bank. Some have suggested that Mr. Obama’s trip was unnecessary if there's no hope of advancing Mideast peace. Others have said the president needs to pay his respects to Israel as head of state and that his visit will make the region more secure. What’s your view?

  12. Israel needs a new map

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just formed a new government in Israel. But nothing of substance will change. Peace negotiations will not resume; settlement activity will expand; war with Iran will still be threatened; and Israel will move even closer to becoming an international pariah. When President Obama speaks to the Israeli public, he will no doubt treat his counterpart cordially, but that won't mute the shocking honesty of what he has already said: An Israeli government led by Netanyahu cannot be a partner for productive peace talks.
