By Jeremy Corbyn MP At one of the border points between Syria and Iraq, reached after a four hour drive across the stony desert from Damascus, the road is barred to all vehicles and travellers by a checkpoint.

America's invasion of Iraq hasn't made it a safer and more western, democratic country. Violence is increasing . The idea/concept/ideology that the United States can train a country, change a people's culture, etc into "American style," peaceful etc is a very serious and fatal mistake. Here in the HolyLand, in Israel, we've suffered from Arab terrorism even before the establishment of the...

In the US, we used to refer to people who commuted from the city to suburbia as 'reverse commuters.' Their commutes were inevitably 'against the traffic.' 'Reverse commutes' are relatively rare in Israel, partly because things are so close together. In terms of distance, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and Tel Aviv and Haifa are each commutable to each other. So are Jerusalem and Ramallah.The '

So according...

Each week I look forward (pardon the pun) to an email from The Jewish Daily Forward , with a list of its most recent articles. I can always depend on The Forward for quirky, unexpected news and cultural commentary that simply can't be found anywhere else. For instance... This week there was a story on Russian-Jewish emigre Michael Lucas, who spent his childhood under Soviet Communism and who now lives...

I traveled into Lebanon with the Israeli army in...
