Life at the Israeli Terrorist Checkpoint
A Palestinian woman cries as she is turned back at the Qalandia checkpoint in Palestine. For Palestinian civilians, the checkpoints are a daily terror which can result in arrest or even death.

Just Get Out!
Does the declination of possessive pronouns confuse you? Surely you are at ease with "mine" and "ours." But do you also understand the concepts behind "yours," "his," "hers," and "theirs"? When I look at the map of the land grab for your illegal settlements, I have serious doubts. The suicide bombs are the mutant flowers of Israel's brutalizing occupation, springing from the seeds of the 54-year-long dehumanization of Palestinians. T...
