Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader on Thursday blasted the Democratic National Convention over the Gaza issue. Nader said in a written statement on X/Twitter: Under strict AIPAC demands, the Democratic National Convention rejected appeals by some of their own delegates and outside protestors to give a few minutes to a Palestinian American pediatrician back from Gaza to describe the horrors of civilian death and destruction and urge a permanent ceasefire. AIPAC demanded and received time on stage for an Israeli hostage family to speak to over 4000 delegates. Astonishing double-standard cruelty that will not be forgotten by millions of Arab…

That’s not just considering the mass loss of life that would occur, but also the reverberating effects of war that would sink millions into economic devastation, destroy the environment, and lead to widespread displacement and human rights atrocities.

On the other side of the political spectrum, liberal internationalists or globalists, by definition, engage with their allies and partners globally. These global alliances make liberal internationalists a formidable force and conservatives limited by their numbers, nation-states, or ideologies.  Thought leaders such as Yoram Hazony of the Edmund Burke Foundation and Ram Madhav of the India Foundation have sought to bridge this gap with international conferences and increased exchanges between conservatives around the world.

The New York Times has always favored Israel in its editorial writings, but no Times’ columnist compares to Bret Stephens, whose writings are chauvinistic and bellicose.,  Stephens, a former editor of the Jerusalem Post and a supporter of all Israeli policies, left the Wall Street Journal to join the Times in 2017 because he believed Israel was not getting a fair hearing in the mainstream media.  In doing so, he joined other Jewish columnists at the Times (Thomas Friedman, David Brooks, Paul Krugman, and Roger Cohen).  However, these men brought some objectivity to America’s Israel problem.  Stephens has no limits in his support of Israel.
