BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS

This is the title of a book by Stephen Hawking. He wrote the book not long before his death, so the book was compiled and published shortly after he passed away. It is a series of questions and answers, and as the title implies, they are very important and vital questions. Stephen Hawking was born in 1942. When he was only 21 years old, he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. After discovering this mortal disorder doctors did not expect him to live much longer. However, because of his determination and love of living, he stayed alive and for much longer than he was expected to, until six years ago and at the age of 76.

The Mutually Reinforcing U.S. and Israeli Empires

Ralph Nader

April 8, 2024

The U.S. government’s unwavering commitment to Israel’s annihilation of Gaza – torrents of heavy weaponry, diplomatic and political cover, and vast majorities in Congress swearing fealty to Netanyahu’s extremist regime – is usually attributed to AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), the powerful domestic pro-Israeli government lobby, organized in every Congressional District, with its abundant campaign cash and its many personal contacts in Congress and the Executive Branch.
