    Yoshi Fields and I bring you the story of a young man with "three parents": a Jewish biological mom, and the Arab Palestinian father and mother who raised him. A story of family and love, full of unexpected twists and Biblical overtones

    Sun is coming up in Kharkiv. We heard explosions. People are starting to panic. We r heading out. The question is do you stay and get trapped or do you run and face danger on road or bombing…

    I'm lying awake here tonight because I honestly can't fathom how we have gotten to the point that the leader of the GOP, the last SecState, some of the party's most vocal members & a major US TV network all are actively taking Russia's side in a conflict with America & the West.

    For the Japanese American community, today is a solemn day. It's the Day of Remembrance, the anniversary of FDR's Executive Order 9066, which ordered the internment of 120,000 persons of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were citizens of the United States.

    Israel prides itself on being referred to as “Start-up Nation,” but the high-tech engine fueling its economy has left behind the country’s largest minority: Palestinian Arab citizens. looks at moves to change that.

    My kind of reporting. Family, history and current events intertwined in one powerful piece. And a message, Ukrainian cousin to Russian cousin: "People live here. All of us, we are people. We are humans." thanks

    There are a cadre of folks in the Jewish community (a minority to be sure) who refused to acknowledge this truism about Charlottesville but who freak out if a public figure speaks at a conference where another speaker once didn’t condemn Hamas when they had the opportunity.

    If having Nazis show up at every event your interest group stages doesn't bother you... yeah, you might not be a Nazi in the "big N" sense where you have the tats & go to the meetings, but you are FOR SURE a white supremacist, antisemite, racist, and bad person.

    Record the elders in your family/community before it’s too late. You will not regret it. I promise. My only regret is that I only have one interview with my grandpa. That’s my public service announcement for this week. ☮️
