I should have these new thematic blogs up and running in the next day or two, so stay tuned. (Also, over time the various sections will feature different permanant links on the side columns of the pages.)

Here is the dilemna. Israel will never have peace and security through war, and Palestine will never have liberty through war. The ONLY answer is to lay down the arms. One side has to have the guts to do it first, but it must be done.

And the same thing applies to us. We will never have peace until we quit waging war and quit arming other nations. We must quit giving the Israelis (and every other oppressive regime in the world) weapons. America has the blood of both Israelis and Palestinians on our hands.
