Levantine Dreamhouse
I have been unable to find the right words to describe my anger and sorrow at Israel's cold blooded assault on the people of Gaza and the equally cold-blooded response of most of the worlds' governments. But the most outrageous response, or lack thereof is that of Egypt's cowardly Mubarak who does not have the balls to unilaterally open the Rafah crossing to help save Palestinian lives. Individually, there is little I can do to stem the violence, but rather than fuming helplessly about the injustice of it... [ط¥ظ‚ط±ط§ ط§ظ„ظ…ط²ظٹط¯] [ط®ظ„ط§طµط§طھ]

Israel’s problem - it’s fundamental problem - is its self-declared nature as a Jewish state. To be clear - I am blaming political Zionism, and not Judaism or the Jewish people.

President-Elect Obama, please put the golf club down and answer these questions from Americans
The vast majority -- vast majority -- of questions being submitted to Obama's Change.gov web site right now are by thinking people. They want to know what he's going to do about Israel's current slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. "We are in the midst of a brutal attack by Israel to the Palestinian population of Gaza. The US vetoed once again an UN resolution asking for an immediate cease fire. Does Obama have any plans to bring justice to Palestians?"Titina, Marquette, MI"Do you foresee a time when American...

"what is the sense of serving freshly baked bread in a graveyard?"
"Livni declares to the world that there is no humanitarian emergency in Gaza; obviously denial is in fashion not only in Ahmadinejad's country. On one thing the Palestinians are in agreement with Livni, the ex-serial killer in the pay of the Mossad (as Joseph, an ambulance driver, tells me): more food goods are really coming into the Strip, simply because in December almost nothing got in, beyond the curtain of barbed wire stretched by Israel. But realistically, what is the sense of serving freshly baked br... [ط¥ظ‚ط±ط§ ط§ظ„ظ…ط²ظٹط¯] [ط®ظ„ط§طµط§طھ]

I don't think I've ever been more selfish than I have these last two months. I have not been aware of anything that has gone on outside of my own head.As a result, I have neglected everything from my school work to this blog, and I apologize.I want the world to work. I really, really do. And, to a certain extent, I still do not understand why it doesn't.
