Loading ...News Roundup: Sorry – Bad News from the Middle East for the U.S., much less Arab Americans, Palestinians, and even some Israelis
Four interrelated events in the Middle East comprise this week’s news roundup. First is how Secretary of State Blinken’s recent visit to Israel resulted in absolutely nothing for Palestinians. Second, an attack by Jewish settlers on a Christian quarter of West Jerusalem exacerbates Israeli-Palestinian problem. Third, the fact of the West Bank’s Jewish settler population exceeding half-a-million people only accentuates the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. Fourth, as much an opinion as an event, a dire scenario is presented about Netanyahu’s “full-scale assault on Israel’s democratic institutions.” Contributing writer, John Mason, ties together these four unfortunate, if not disheartening events.
