U.K., Australia and Canada to Recognize Palestine
The U.K., Australia and Canada said Sunday they would formally recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift in longstanding foreign policy among Western governments and a reflection of growing global dissatisfaction with Israel after nearly two years of war in Gaza.
The move by the British government especially is a symbolic win for the Palestinians, given that it is a longstanding ally of Israel and was instrumental in the country’s modern creation.
I tried mortgage fraud cases. Trump’s revenge prosecutions are a sham.
As a former federal prosecutor who investigated and tried mortgage fraud cases, I know what it takes to prove bank fraud in court. I know the statutes, the evidence, the witnesses and the burden prosecutors must meet to secure a conviction. So I can say with complete confidence that the recent criminal referrals made by the Trump administration against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California), New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook and other perceived political opponents are more than merely legally insufficient. They are a sham — a political hit job disguised as law enforcement.
