Trump was all over TV touting the cease-fire he brokered between Hamas and Israel as “peace in the Middle East.” But less than a week later, his deal is collapsing in blood, hypocrisy, and self-promotion. iPINIONS exposes the war profiteers posing as peacemakers, and the media cheering them on.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

While the media elevates the release of one Israeli hostage, it’s ignoring a man-made famine killing thousands of Palestinians. In this latest post on iPINIONS Daily, I explain how Netanyahu isn’t just permitting this suffering; he’s engineering it. From starvation to scorched earth, he’s turning Gaza into a graveyard to bury the two-state solution once… Read more.

The closest analogy I suppose would be if Prince William were indicted on similar charges for… Read more.

ICC Arrest Warrant for Gaddafi is a Joke

Written by Anthony L. Hall

The warrants further demonstrate why Gaddafi has lost all legitimacy and why he should go immediately. His forces continue to attack Libyans without mercy and this must stop.
