I am now available to give talks related to my new biography of FDR (coming in October) which builds on my earlier, FDR's War on the Bill of Rights: The Untold Story of FDR's Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance (now in paperback).

Statist/collectivist ethno-culturalism is the bane of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The first step to solving the problem is the recognize the reality that everyone who lives there is a rights-bearing human, not part of a faceless blob.

Do it! The best response if that happens is for currently disfranchised Palestinian residents to demand "one person, one vote" for the Knesset. Knesset votes 71-13 for non-binding motion calling to annex West Bank via @timesofisrael.

Symbolic resolution calls West Bank 'inseparable part of the Land of Israel'; critics say it reflects misplaced priorities as PA calls it 'dangerous escalation'

An honest question. Given his Hoppean views on immigration would @ComicDaveSmith have supported H.L. Mencken's proposal (made shortly after Kristallnacht) to admit all German Jews to the United States?.

Fascinating. I never knew that prior to U.S. entry peace negotiations were so extensive and, apparently, so close to success. Wilson really dropped the ball on this. 1916-17 World War I Peace Talks

In defending her support for continued military aid to Israel, AOC makes a distinction without a difference.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to.

Taybeh is a quiet Palestinian Christian village south of Jerusalem w/ a lot of American citizens that has been vandalized-including fires set at ancient church. I visited there today. Desecrating a church,mosque or synagogue is a crime against humanity & God.

in contrast to their cousins in West Jerusalem, Arabs born in East Jerusalem (though it has been part of Israel since 1967) are automatically disfranchised at birth. They can apply later but the overwhelming majority are rejected.

It is time to stop viewing people who belong to the highly diverse categories of Israelis and Palestinians as collective globs and instead start viewing them as rights-bearing individuals with equal political rights.
