Israel seizes $1 million from West Bank banks

September 20, 2006 – 11:33 pm

I have tried for a long time not to bring Palestine into my blog posts because of the natural divisive emotion that is felt by everyone to either side, but there are times when I start to wonder how much is enough. After many years of border wars and fighting, the Palestinians agreed to [...]

“Anyone willing to sacrifice liberty for safety deserves neither” - Ben Franklin
This is a rather old story, but I completely agree with the movement that has started because of it. Raed Jarrar, an architect of Iraqi decent, was forced to remove a t-shirt that bore the words “We will not be silent,” otherwise he [...]
