FOCUS: Returns from Israel with new understanding of war

By Mack W. Parnell  |  Over the past month, I helped lead a delegation of elected officials and policy leaders on a solidarity mission to Israel. It’s nearly impossible to put into words all that we have seen, heard, and experienced.

ANOTHER VIEW: Conflagration in Israel bemoans a different approach

By Ashley Herndon  |  Today’s violence in Israel bemoans a different approach, regardless of our allegiances and beliefs.  Imagine the surprise that hit the historical tribal leader Moses when he came down from a mountain and saw his people shaping and worshiping a Golden Calf, and on an altar built by his brother, Aaron.  That would knock your socks off.  Wow…ya’ can’t eat gold.

WILSON: U.S. should have voted support for U.N. resolution on Israel

WILSON: U.S. should have voted support for U.N. resolution on Israel

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | Major countries voting in the United Nations condemned Israel’s construction of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a “flagrant violation under international law” and an obstacle to peace in the region. The United States chose to abstain rather than use its veto, as it has done in the past to quash resolutions it considered anti-Israel. The arrogant right-wing Netanyahu then announced plans to increase illegal settlements.
