| | Detention on Saturday Morning - Erella`s Report Erella Dunayevsky - The Villages Group - And so, 20 years old Ammar and Odeh, and 16 years old Akram, from Umm al-Kheir, who went out with the goats in the morning of the 1st of June 2013, as they do each Saturday, to the grazing areas close to their home, and were detained – they too will surely fold their pain, store it in the storeroom for unprocessed pains, and continue their life, their daily routine, as if such a pain is an ordinary matter, like breakfast, like brushing your teeth or going to the toilette.-rh

One Palestinian stain in this contiguous Judaized terrain. The village of Nabi Samuel.-rh

The hum of bulldozers is the constant background noise of Zionism. Listen to it for a few moments.-rh | | | When is a Jew a Terrorist? For Bibi, Never RICHARD SILVERSTEIN - Tikun Olam - Netanyahu said that even if declaring price tag activists as part of a terror organization was correct from a domestic standpoint, it would be a diplomatic mistake to do so.
