Netanyahu and Taking Over Gaza
To say that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had lost the plot is to assume he ever had one. With a dearth of ideas as to how to come up with a “final solution” to the Palestinian problem, he has received a majority approval from his cabinet colleagues to take over Gaza City. It took […]

Celebrating Nicaragua’s Gains and Feeling Anguish for Gaza
1999: Hurricane Mitch Aftermath The image is forever seared in my mind: Francisco was two years old, his thin legs and swollen feet were covered in sores.
