Alon Ben-Meir: THE FURY OVER THE 1967 BORDERS IS DISINGENUOUS
Although President Obama stated nothing new during his speech last Thursday about the 1967 borders with “mutually agreed land swaps” as a basis for a negotiated Israeli-Palestinian agreement, he put it in a manner that should give the Palestinians pause before they go to the United Nations General Assembly to seek statehood recognition. Moreover, in doing so he has marginalized the settlements problem, which has been a major stumbling block to resume the negotiations, while encouraging some key member states of the European Union to rethink their endorsement of a Palestinian state come September. The fury of Israeli and Jewish leaders over what the president said is entirely misguided, misplaced and disingenuous Continue reading →

Steven Hill: Was Rahm Right About Progressives?
In 2009, then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel infamously said that progressives are “fucking retarded.” Lately I’ve begun to think he was correct — though not for the same reasons as Emanuel, who thought that progressives held unrealistic expectations for his boss, President Barack Obama. Progressives are chumps because they had those expectations for Obama to begin with, and poured so many of their hopes and aspirations — not to mention dollars — into electing him. Continue reading →

Whenever prices at the gas pump soar, President Obama’s popularity takes a hit, he suggested at a private fundraising event — and which is backed up by a recent poll . House Speaker John Boehner argued high gas prices could even cost Obama the 2012 election. Obama argued the long term solution is clean energy , but to try to help in the shorter term, though, the administration launched two new efforts Continue reading →

Eric Ehrmann: Brazil Doubles Down on China Trade
With food and fuel prices causing inflation and strikes, President Dilma Rousseff has returned from China with over $30 billion in deals that will create some high value jobs and help steady the economy.

Michael Hughes: Zardari Claims Afghanistan Is Destabilizing Pakistan, but the Reverse is True
Pakistan’s president Asif Ali Zardari claimed in a Guardian interview on Sunday that the war in Afghanistan has stymied his noble efforts to establish a stable, functioning and prosperous democracy — sentiments that strike one as being duplicitous, if not demented, considering Pakistan’s role in both the war’s origin and its duration. As Zardari veneered reality and tried to place the onus elsewhere as to why Pakistan is considered one of the most failed states on earth, members of the Afghan Taliban leadership council, also known as the Quetta Shura, were sitting snug in some safe house (or cave) under the protection of Pakistan’s spy agency , the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
