Relocating US Embassy: Not a Smart Move

Relocating US Embassy: Not a Smart Move

What a shame that Senate majority leader Bob Dole and House Speaker Newt Gingrich feel so compelled to push for the relocation of the United States Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a city with such an uncertain future.

If the US is to aid in the Middle East peace talks, shouldn't we make every effort to assert our neutrality? It appears Israel's human and property rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank and other occupied territories are of no consequence.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
