Welcome to the club, Tucker. It won’t end well for you. What do Tucker Carlson, the isolationist conservative pundit, and Elizabeth Warren, the woke progressive senator of Massachusetts, share in common? Not much, other than their sickening slander of Israel, America’s only democratic ally in the Middle East. -snip- Yesterday, in an interview on X (formerly Twitter) that already has over 7 million views, Tucker Carlson gave a platform to Pastor Munther Isaac, the conference director of Christ and the Checkpoint, a well-known anti-Israel propagandist forum in Bethlehem that seeks to undermine Evangelical Christian support for Israel. Christ and the...

Next year Leonid Nevzlin will mark 20 years since his escape from Russia and immigration to Israel. When he fled Russia in 2003, Yukos, the oil giant at which he served as vice president, was forcibly broken up and Nevzlin’s associates were arrested and thrown into Siberian prisons on what many claim were trumped-up and politically motivated charges of fraud, embezzlement and money laundering. Meanwhile, the Russian government demanded that Israel extradite Nevzlin, whom it accused of murder, several counts of conspiracy to commit murder and financial crimes. Israel has repeatedly refused. Nevzlin has long been a vocal critic of...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not let up on his criticism of NATO and told 60 Minutes in an interview that aired Sunday that he is “no longer interested” in the military alliance’s diplomacy. “When you’re working in diplomacy, there are no results. All of this is very bureaucratic,” Zelensky said when asked about recent harsh comments about NATO. “That’s why the way I am talking to them is absolutely justified. I don’t have any more lives to give. I don’t have any more emotions. I’m no longer interested in their diplomacy that leads to the destruction of my country.”Screenshot/Image...

In an interview with Ukrainian journalists broadcast on state television on Tuesday after a period of alleged war crimes carried out by the Russian army against his people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to rebuild after the conflict, turning his country into a “big Israel.” “Ukraine will definitely not be what we wanted it to be from the beginning. It is impossible. Absolutely liberal, European – it will not be like that,” Zelensky said. “I think all our people will be our great army. We cannot talk about ‘Switzerland of the future’ — probably, our state will be able to...

Last month, Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson asked Princeton Professor and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Stephen Kotkin 5 questions, all in the foreign policy and history realm. Since then, the world has changed in ways that were unimaginable just 3 weeks ago. So we asked Professor Kotkin to come back for a second round of questions, this time all dedicated to one topic: the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And as usual, his answers are concise, incisive, and analytic. If you want to understand this crisis and some possible outcomes, don’t miss this conversation.

Andrii Yermak, head of the Office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on Thursday that Ukraine “wants Israel to be one of the countries that will provide a guarantee for any future agreement between Ukraine and Russia.” In an interview with Kan 11 News, Yermak said that, at the moment, there is no progress in the contacts between his country's representatives and Russia. “I am always skeptical when progress in negotiations is not reported by us or by the Russians but by someone else. We can say there is dialogue, but it continues to be very complicated. The two leaders...

These days, Miriam Robles spends a lot of time on the phone. In between her day job as an environmental justice organizer at Mi Familia Vota, a Latino political advocacy group that opposes President Trump, Robles phone-banks to register new voters. One new voter she's worked with is her 18-year-old brother, Kevin. "I was super excited to get him registered," she says. "I helped him fill out his primary ballot and made sure that he applied for [Arizona's] Permanent Early Voting List. For him, he is looking at this fiercely as something that he could do for his family." Robles...

SAN ANTONIO — Amid a national push for immigration reform in what advocates say is a window when Congress might be willing to change the country's laws, five local organizations will hold a pro-reform rally today. The Brown Berets, Southwest Workers Union and others will gather at noon at the federal complex next to HemisFair Park. They're asking for a suspension of deportations, “an incluse pathway to legalization,” an immigration policy that “strengthens the middle and working class through encouraging unionization,” and a reform that doesn't militarize the border or expand the border wall.

On the election map, the State of Israel is not just blue and white; it is solidly red. The Presidential election results are in. Well, at least the votes from Americans in Israel. Not one to keep readers in suspense, I’ll reveal the most important numbers up front: Gov. Mitt Romney received 85%–85%!–of the vote; President Obama managed only 14.3%. This, according to exit polling just released by iVoteIsrael, the non-partisan group promoting and facilitating voting by U.S. citizens currently in Israel. Their statistics reveal some fascinating results. More importantly, these results have implications for the outcome of next week’s...

Excerpts: MEXICO CITY –– After weeks of working for a compromise solution in the U.N. Security Council, Mexican President Vicente Fox said Thursday he is against the war in Iraq and deeply regretted any loss of life. Fox was careful to avoid offending Mexican voters who overwhelmingly oppose a war — and antagonizing the United States, which accounts for about 75 percent of Mexico's trade and is home to millions of Mexican migrants. "Mexicans who live in the United States feel proud of your firm and brave position in the United Nations regarding war," said Lydia Hernandez, an adviser to...

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Maria Sanchez was proud to become a U.S. citizen in 1985, but it didn't completely erase the sense of loss she felt over having to give up her Mexican citizenship. ``I didn't feel I was a traitor by becoming American, but I was leaving a part of my life,'' the 47-year-old homecare provider recalled. Sanchez, a native of the border town of Tecate, stood in line this week outside the Mexican Consulate with hundreds of others seeking to reclaim their Mexican nationality rights by a Thursday deadline and become dual U.S.-Mexican citizens. ``I feel good,'' she...
