Life or Death in Gaza Strip

“Gaza is not a city, anymore, and it’s not a country either. On the map it is called a strip, and a strip it is indeed”

EU`s Latest Message to Israel - `Do your worst without fear of sanction by us`

The poverty rate for Palestinians in the Jordan Valley is nearly double that of the rest of the West Bank; farming and animal rearing is nearly impossible without adequate access to land.

(LONDON) - The first question the headline begs is this: What is, or rather what could be, Israel’s worst?

Part Two of the Netahyahu, Olmert Sagas: Murder for Power

A personal story of Prime Minister Netanyahu.

(ST AUGUSTINE, FL) - In part one, I wrote about the close ties of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Mitt Romney, and the amazing acquittal of the previous prime minister Ehud Olmert of deep corruption charges. If you missed the article, catch it here to read it.

Racism Alive and Well in Israel - 5 West Bank Female Students Denied Access to Gaza

Despite Supreme Court recommendation: State upholds refusal to allow gender studies students to travel from Gaza to the West Bank.

(TEL AVIV) - Despite a court order to reconsider, Israel's Defense Ministry today announced that it will not back down on its refusal to allow five female students from Gaza to reach their studies in the West Bank.

(LONDON) - Just hours after the attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Ehud Barak were quick to announce that Iran and the Hezbollah were behind the attack.
