Progressive Democrat Nina Turner teased a 2024 presidential bid during a concession speech on Tuesday after she was defeated in her bid to challenge Democratic Representative Shontel Brown. Brown defeated Turner with 66.3 percent of the vote to 33.7 percent in Ohio's 11th congressional district. Turner had read most of her concession speech from her phone but toward the end of her remarks, she said she would speak "extemporaneously" and stopped reading. "Sister Turner ain't going nowhere," Turner said and the crowed applauded and cheered. Turner made reference to the late former Representative Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman ever...

Once again, a furor surrounding US Presidential candidate Barack Obama has erupted, this time over a senior military advisor to the Obama campaign with a history of anti-Israel remarks. He has strongly criticized pro-Israel Jews in the United States for allegedly torpedoing peace efforts in the Middle East. In a 2003 interview with The Oregonian newspaper unearthed by The American Spectator magazine, General Merrill "Tony" McPeak, a former chief of staff in the United States Air Force who is a candidate for secretary of defense in a potential Obama administration, claimed that efforts to bring peace between Israel and the...

The poisonous myth of 'Israeli apartheid' Alan Baker, National Post Published: Thursday, February 14, 2008 Last week, various Canadian university campuses hosted events connected to Israeli Apartheid Week. This annual international phenomenon, which began in 2005, serves as an opportunity for those who demonize Israel to spew hatred. As the name suggests, a major theme is that Israel is the Middle East equivalent of South Africa's infamous apartheid regime. This comparison betrays an acute ignorance -- both of the meaning of the word "apartheid" and of the nature of the State of Israel. Apartheid is the state-sanctioned and -generated degradation...

At UC Berkeley on Wednesday, May 2, 2007, Jimmy Carter spoke about Middle East “peace.” Chancellor Robert Birgeneau began Carter’s introduction by saying  “Although most of our undergraduate students were not even born when Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the US from 1977-1981, his impact on the world and long life of public service continues to draw students.”  That was indeed the problem.  Most of the 1,200 students -- who attended this event and nearly made a full house at Zellerbach Auditorium on the Cal campus -- were clearly too young to know Carter’s past history and, consequently, lacked a frame...
