President Bush organizes summit to divide Jerusalem

May 2nd, 2008

By Dr. Mike Evans
I am writing you after having an emergency meeting with former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom I have known since he was 26 years old. I was horrified to learn that when President Bush comes to Israel for its 60th Anniversary in May, he has made the decision to mobilize Arab nations […]



Presidents and Persia

Mar 28th, 2008

By Dr. Mike Evans
Soon the U.S. will choose its next president. The prevailing holy grail of understanding is that the only vote that matters is the vote of the American people. Persia (Iran), however, may have a dog in the fight as U.S. policy in Iraq will greatly affect U.S. policy in Iran.
To think that […]



Bush Doesn’t Get It

Feb 15th, 2008

By MICHAEL D. EVANS
During his first visit to Israel in January as leader of the free world, President George W. Bush made the expected rhetorical endorsements of Israel as the Jewish state and even prodded Israel to remove unauthorized settler outposts in the West Bank.

By MICHAEL D. EVANS
The White House is sending mixed messages in advance of President George Bush’s first presidential visit to Israel this week – stressing his steadfast support for Jerusalem, but also pushing for a settlement freeze.

Israel as a half-full glass – in the Washington Post

Jan 7th, 2008

By MICHAEL D. EVANS
The Washington Post does its readers a disservice by publishing reports about Israel that lack balance and context. Israel’s behavior is constantly presented without relation to Palestinian behavior; its reaction to Palestinian actions is given without reference to the Palestinian actions that precipitated it.
In a recent article, for example, reporter Scott Wilson […]



BETRAYED: The Conspiracy to Divide Jerusalem

Nov 30th, 2007

The Annapolis Peace Summit
Annapolis, Maryland
In the pre-dawn hours, my car winds its way down the streets of this historic city toward the Naval Academy and the Annapolis Summit. Precious fathers, mothers and grandmothers shiver in the cold darkness of the morning. Some of the men blow shofars and pray openly. Most hold […]

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRG) is using Iran’s Baghdad embassy as its headquarters for secret military operations against coalition forces in Iraq, according to an Iranian opposition group.
Mohammad Mohadessin, spokesman for the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the parliament-in-exile of the Iranian Resistance, said in a […]
