Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for President Trump’s impeachment due to his recent military strikes against Iranian nuclear sites, the reaction was swift and dismissive from some corners of Congress.

Antisemitism, described as “the ancient evil,” has deep historical roots. It can be traced back to at least the third century BC, found in the attitudes of Greeks and Romans towards Jewish communities. These civilizations viewed Jews with suspicion for their steadfast adherence to monotheism and their refusal to adopt the customs of their conquerors. This resistance to assimilation led to years of persecution as dominant powers sought to marginalize those who lived by a different faith and set of beliefs. Throughout history, Jews were uprooted from their homes multiple times, facing captivity first under the Assyrians and Babylonians, and…

The administration’s decision to allocate $4.65 billion from its contingency fund to ensure SNAP benefits continue speaks volumes about the current political drama.

The current state of the Middle East marks a clear transformation from last year, largely attributed to Israel’s unwavering resolve and President Donald Trump’s focused use of American influence. With hostages now released and a fragile ceasefire in effect, an opportunity arises to advance President Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
