Bruce's MidEast Soundbites

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Europe sweetens Palestinian life

Explosives Labeled as Sugar in EU Aid to Palestinians

Israel seized 6.5 tons of potassium nitrate in bags marked as sugar from a Palestinian truck traveling in the West Bank with EU aid for Gaza.

Potassium nitrate can be used to make explosives and power homemade rockets.
