The late President Jimmy Carter presided over a key landmark in the Arab-Israeli peace process, the 1979 Camp David Accords signed by Egypt and Israel. Carter's lifelong interest in resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict is an analog for his complicated legacy in foreign policy and human rights.

From early December 2024 to early January 2025, the body temperature of eight babies fell below any acceptable amount and they froze to death. This condition is known as hypothermia.

Temperatures in Gaza have fallen to just above freezing, which in the context of a lack of housing, blankets, and warm bedclothes is deadly. Body heat is the only protection, which is minimal for an infant. Yousef's mother said, "He slept next to me and in the morning I found him frozen and dead.

Before even taking office, Trump has conjured grotesque visions of what he once called the dreams of a "unified Reich."

One of the reasons I'm having difficulty "enjoying the holidays" is the editorial writing of Bret Stephens. His columns defending Israel's brutal military campaign that targets sanctuary areas and so-called safe zones in Gaza are typically chauvinistic and bellicose.

His lecture at Harvard last year argued that "taking out most, but not all, of Hamas is not enough," which seems to justify the genocidal campaign that Israel conducts. Stephens has never mentioned that this campaign targets Gaza's hospitals and h…
