Annie Robbins
There have been lots of good changes around here in the last couple weeks, and here is another: Annie Robbins, who has long worked with us in a behind the scenes way as annie, has agreed to take on a more public role, as Writer at Large for Mondoweiss.
Annie needs little introduction. Regular readers know how much her sincerity, her passion, and her productivity have helped to build this site. Still a few words.
Annie grew up in northern California. She has had chapters as an entrepreneur, a builder, and a potter. Her son hooked her up on a computer only 10 years ago, and before long she was drawn to social media, and not long after that to engagement in Middle East issues. People in the Bay Area know her as an activist, we know her for her energy, her nose for news and her eloquent voice.
Annie has been quietly working to make this site stronger for nearly two years out of the spotlight. We are delighted that she is taking a more public role.
Congratulations, Annie.
Here’s a Boycott-Israel story with quite a lot of coverage in the media already. See the latest from ‘Arab American News’, December 3, 2011 —

It’s unusual to see outrage expressed against Israeli atrocities, in any media outlet, but this story does allow that outrage to be expressed.
From that outrage, I hope a boycott movement will grow a bit faster.
Great news Annie. Ahlan wa sahlan biki!
Elf mabrouk.
It is so important to have kind people on board and visible.
I just came across this and it sounds right
