Since he knocked on the door several minutes ago, the young man has barely said a word, simply looking at Burnham wide-eyed, bewildered. He nods occasionally as Burnham delivers his patter ve-rr-yyy sl-ow-ly, unsure if this potential supporter is following. Then the young man lights up. In broken English he says: “I know your name.

The Zionist state not only acts as a spoiler but also effectively dictates the terms of war and peace in the region.

Despite President Donald Trump’s clai...
