For many people, the question is inflammatory. The crimes of the German Nazis were of such magnitude that comparison with any other historical violence is invidious. The genocide of the Jews was deliberate and methodical and intended to eliminate every last one. The goal was the same with the Romani and Sinti people.

I was pleasantly surprised when the Daily Progress printed a straightforward report on the president of the University of Virginia recently lying about police violence against students protesting genocide. #WorldBEYONDWar…

It's essential to photosynthesis, and without it, plants would be unable to grow. Without RuBisCO, nearly all life on Earth would starve. | But even though it's everywhere, and has been around for billions of years, RuBisCO kind of sucks at its…

It's difficult to imagine an Israeli war in the Middle East that allowed any Arab country to claim victory. The history of the Middle East over the past 75 years has been a history of war, and the Israelis have been the overwhelming victor in each and every one of them.

The United States and Israel over the years have indulged in a dialogue about a "peace process," but Arab refugees have known neither "peace" nor "

"In addition to testing each other, the Hamas and Israeli parties are testing the United States of America…

Most people, reasonably fearing arrest and its potential consequences, are then less likely to protest, less likely even to speak out.
