Can Victims Transform Co-annihilation into Co-existence?
The history of the Holocaust was an important part of my childhood in Holland. One of my best friends was a Jewish-Dutch boy who lived in the house behind mine. I knew that I couldn’t play with him on Saturdays, because he had to go to Hebrew school. I also remember that he had certificates […]

What’s Next for Battlefield America? Israel’s High-Tech Military Tactics Point the Way
I did not know Israel was capturing or recording my face. [But Israel has] been watching us for years from the sky with their drones. They have been watching us gardening and going to schools and kissing our wives. I feel like I have been watched for so long. — Mosab Abu Toha, Palestinian poet […]
