For cops that break the law and send innocent people to jail. Jason Arbeeny, a fourteen-year veteran of the NYPD, was convicted of planting crack on a innocent couple, but avoided jail yesterday with a teary apology. “I can’t look at myself in the mirror anymore,” Arbeeny's attorney blamed his action on the "enormous pressure" of arrest quotas.

Trump’s Deal Of The Century Does Not Create A Palestinian State
From Haaretz: Fact check, Trump did not actually offer the Palestinians a state The "Deal Of the Century" is nothing more than a declaration of surrender.

Netanyahu Just Got The Gift Of The Century
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received the gift of the century on Thursday when Vice President Mike Pence invited him and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz to the White House for talks next Tuesday about the long-awaited peace plan, otherwise known as the 'Deal Of The Century." This sounds like a trap for Gantz. According to The Jerusalem Post, Gantz was invited to the meeting by V.P. Mike Pence at the request of Netanyahu.

How Did We Get Here: A History Of Iran-U.S. Relations
