By ABRAHAM MILLER, JPOST— Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, now serving the eleventh year of his four-year term, should pause and consider that Israel is no longer his biggest problem.

By VICTOR SHARPE— Ask people in the United States what a dhimmi is and perhaps a handful might know.
