Is Israel's Upcoming Election a Point of No Return from Extremism? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oakland, Ca. (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – Israelis will go to the polls on October 27, for one of the most consequential elections in their history. Not unlike the upcoming 2026 midterms in the U.S., it is essentially a referendum on democracy.

McCarthyism Smokescreen: Trump's National Socialism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oakland, Ca. (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – Convicted felon Donald Trump is trotting out the tired, failed themes of the 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAAC), invoking the spirit of Sen. Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn. He is desperately trying to rerun the mass hysteria, which ruined many careers, destroyed families and led to suicides, such as that of Actor John Garfield. But Trump is going about this in such a primitive and clumsy manner, McCarthy and Cohn seem almost slic
