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.

Bruce said...: Got me smiling, imagining so many Israeli's moving into Midwood, Brooklyn. Brooklyn would never be the same. And I don't think Midwood could take it.

I hope you liked my title: "Hamas with suits on"...I thought of that after I found that recent picture of Saeb Erekat.; Thursday, August 14, 2008 9:50:00 AM
