U.S. Exploring Recognition of a Palestinian State

January 31, 2024 By Kermit Zarley

President Joe Biden has always been a big supporter of the State of Israel. This became even more evident when Hamas’s attack of Israel on October 7th last year resulted in Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which it governs. President Biden immediately went to Israel to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, give him a photo-op hug, and affirm his support for Israel’s war effort. But this initial Biden reaction ignored stating any sympathy for Palestinians... Read more

Donald J. Trump, the former president of the United States of America, is such a sorry excuse for a human being! Yesterday, this self-proclaimed “stable genius” defeated his sole rival for the Republican Party nomination for the US presidency, the cordial Ms. Nikki Haley, in the New Hampshire primary. And today, he bragged on his Truth Social media network for the world to read, “Just had a GIANT VICTORY over a badly failing candidate–‘Birdbrain.'” Trump is not only a TERRIBLE... Read more

Destroying Hamas’s Tunnel System in Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that are fighting the war in Gaza says Hamas’s tunnel system there is immense, between 350 and 450 miles of tunnels. Yet the Gaza Strip itself, which is located along the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, is only 25 miles long and 4 to 6 miles wide. Hamas’s military strength has been centered in its tunnel system in Gaza. The IDF therefore has announced that its goal is to destroy this entire tunnel system to prevent Hamas... Read more

PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray, from Raleigh, North Carolina, the guy they call “golf bad boy,” just won the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii, in a most dramatic fashion. He had gotten himself into a tie for the lead entering today’s last round by shooting a 63 on Friday and a 64 on Sunday. He lost the lead and birdied the last hole to get into a three-man playoff. On the first extra hole, a par... Read more

How Far Is Donald Trump Going to Fall?

Former FBI Director James Comey had an excellent article in The Washington Post last Wednesday entitled “Donald Trump isn’t coming for us. The rule of law is coming for him.” It’s about the fear some Americans have that prosecuting Trump for crimes will result in so much violence from his MAGA crowd that the U.S. should refrain from trying to legally make the former president accountable for any misdeeds he may have committed. For, he has two federal and two... Read more

Will Palestinians Be Transferred Out of the Gaza Strip?

January 9, 2024 By Kermit Zarley

Until recently, the Israel-Hamas War in the Gaza Strip–which Israel enacted after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, resulting in 1,200 Jewish dearth–looked like Israel had no plan for Gaza and its Palestinian residents, a population of about 2,3 million people, after the war ends. So far, Israel reportedly has killed 23,000 Gazans and bombed the place so badly that 70% of the homes are now destroyed or unlivable. The Israeli military started its destruction in northern Gaza and has... Read more

When Gaza-ruling Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people in about one day, Israel launched a devastating military assault of the Gaza Strip that included artillery and dropping over 200 bombs weighing 2,000 pounds each. Reports are that 22,000 Palestinian have been killed. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war will continue for “months.” But neither he nor his administration has been saying what Israel’s plan is for Gaza after the war. Then both foreign ministers... Read more
