Diversity icon seeks to diversify a diverse crisis about diversity; important announcement

Anybody got an idea why Israel and Zionism dominate the news headlines decade after decade? It's on the other side of the world. Its culture and politics couldn't be more totally opposite from America's. Supposedly it's God's chosen people, but it's the most anti-religious country on earth. Its politicians defenders are well known, but this religious foundation of Zionism is never mentioned by its politicians or defenders.

California lawmaker promises fix after Israel flap

Seriously, now: Why do we have to have Israel flaps or Israel anything in the United States of America? Anybody but me just plain sick of the monotony there? Where is diversity of news subject and viewpoint?

When can we have news networks that sound the alarm about everything going on here in the USA, in my town and yours?

Why Israel? Why that special relationship? Nobody can answer me that. It's not "anti-semitic", it's about shared culture and values.

...........Our announced speaker for next Tuesday has unavoidable had to cancel, but we hope to hear him another time soon.
