Bruce's MidEast Soundbites

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

"Israel First" in the trashcan...at least for now

The "Israel First" Myth -James Taranto

It has been the accepted view among Mideast "experts" for decades that if only Israel would recognize a Palestinian state, we would have peace in the Middle East.

Hardly anybody is saying that now. In truth, a more democratic Arab world is a necessary precondition for peace...
