Palestine is the rock on which the West will break itself. Put yourself in the shoes of people in the global South. For nearly two years they have watched how Western leaders, who love to talk about human rights and the rule of law, are happy to shred all these values ...

Was playing with kids at a cookout. Wrote “power to the people” in sidewalk chalk. Tow headed white boy walks over, reads it silently, nods slowly. “If anybody erases this? I will write it back.” Okay little John Brown, I see you.
