Joan Grant: Palestinians’ situation ‘dire’ under Israeli occupation
I was glad to see Robert Schaible’s column (“Sen. King complicit in Israel’s Big Lie,” March 21) that sheds light on the Palestinians’ dire situation under Israeli occupation, which continues with the support of the U.S. government and U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Andrew Tasker: GOP on ‘wrong side of history’
Everything the GOP stands for is rooted in religiously-based prejudice of some sort. Its members learned that basing their arguments on a Christian doctrine is a winning strategy, because Americans have been schooled in conservative logic that teaches the Bible supports the Right Wing. Whether they are denying the rights of women, the poor and […]
