His giveaway to Israel of an American embassy is a blow to the dream of peace. The scores of demonstrators who were killed on Monday were imprisoned people yearning for freedom. A celebration, and a massacre. There are significant racial disparities in who is arrested on low-level marijuana charges around the city. While celebrations were taking place in Jerusalem, mass protests were underway. Raising prices overseas is not the answer. Humans build barriers to define themselves. But cultures truly flourish when those barriers break down. How does an observant Muslim living near the Arctic Circle fast from dawn to dusk when daylight lasts 22 hours?
