Is the Israeli military a paragon of morality and wartime ethics? Or is it an oppressive force that targets innocent Palestinian civilians and commits war crimes as a matter of policy? Colonel Richard Kemp, who was the commander of British Forces in Afghanistan, was in Israel during its war against Hamas in 2014, and analyzes whether Israel’s military is ethical, evil, or somewhere in between.

Mobilizing to protect a working-class family from eviction is an emergency; helping members understand why housing markets are unlikely to deliver affordable, high-quality housing in sufficient numbers is not.

By Elizabeth Cushing We love to talk about scaling solutions in the social sector. It feels good to imagine a day when every person who needs support can get it. The reality is, though, that scale is elusive for most of us. Yes, we successfully develop and implement effective solutions to pressing problems, but we can’t do it for everyone everywhere because it isn’t feasible, it’s too expensive, or both.

I am kind of scratching my head over here. Wouldn’t “opening our hearts and minds to the possibility of other points of view” include not accusing the Israeli government of “war crimes” etc. as “There are many good, smart people who strongly disagree with you” about that?

There is no way to talk about equitable, effective, and just solutions to climate change without also talking about the disproportionate burdens that communities of color shoulder as the planet warms. The legacies of systemic racism and discrimination mean that today, communities of color are more likely to live in polluted, climate-vulnerable neighborhoods with limited capacity and resources to build resilience or bounce back af

In our modern world, we are inundated by songs, art, and various forms of pop culture that often reinforce the message that war is inherently bad, while peace is inherently good. This pervasive narrative is deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness, largely due to the influence of artists, musicians, and writers who use their creative platforms to emphasize the moral importance of avoiding war and seeking peaceful resolutions to conflicts.

I am very impressed about your courage to stand up to the horrible Antisemitism that has reared its ugly head as a result of the barbarism of Hamas. I do want to voice my vehement objection to your claim of Israeli war crimes and unfortunately the big lie that ANY Israeli government has stood in the way of peace. An objective examination of the situation will lay at the door of Hamas any responsibility for civilian deaths.

In reply to Yechiel Nakdimen. Hi Yechiel – I’m not completely sure you got my point… or maybe you simply disagree. There are many good, smart people who strongly disagree with you. The only way we will ever have peace is by listening to one another and opening our hearts and minds to the possibility of other points of view. Prior to October 7th, I completely agreed with you and was only hearing one side.
