We've been posting updates from Max Blumenthal from the West Bank.

Amazing journalism Max. Thanks!!!

"You see this napkin? In 24 hours, we could have the signatures of 70 Senators on this napkin." –Former AIPAC official Steven Rosen, speaking to a sympathetic journalist (Jeffrey Goldberg).

Chu it doesn't matter whether those senators see this or not, they're not getting paid to have hearts. The video was great, I've never seen Americans humanize Palestinians this way before. That's why I watch Al Jazeera. I never knew that he was Sidney Blumenthal's son until a few days ago.
Humanize? Well, the IDF does a terrific job at dehumanizing Palestinians. Good to see that he is pushing the story, unlike the complacent news organizations.
