i wonder if she attended the hearing about ulpana this morning.
Meanwhile, Israel has commenced building its wall extension–along the border with Lebanon: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/04/201243082536846156.html
At least castles and moats use to be beautiful to look at from afar.
OT, but thought people might be interested in this straightforward AP article about Palestinian refugees and the Nakba from the Seattle Times this morning: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2018153684_apmlpalestiniansfindingfamily.html
Interesting article, Linda, and not really OT, since Phil’s larger point is about a trend in the MSM toward more decent coverage of Palestinians.
This might be a little off topic, but I do not know where else to post.
What, exactly, is meant by “the land of Isreal?”
Have you noticed it too? Israel is no longer referred to simply as…Israel, like France would be France, or Canada, simply Canada. But it is The Land of Israel
Are we supposed to now say things like the land of France? The land of Italy? The land of Egypt?
What is this all about?
