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.

UNESCO Funds Palestinian Magazine Glorifying Hitler -Jordana Horn
The Simon Wiesenthal Center asked UNESCO's director-general to suspend its sponsorship of a Palestinian children's magazine that applauded Hitler for murdering Jews.
According to Palestinian Media Watch, the educational magazine Zayafuna published an essay by a teenage Palestinian girl who wrote about meeting Adolf Hitler in a dream.
Hitler tells her that he killed the Jews "so you would all know that they are a nation who spreads destruction all over the world."

PA Leader Abbas Meets Woman Who Aided 2001 Killing of Israeli Teen
Israel is furious at Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for meeting in Turkey with Amna Muna, a Palestinian woman who infamously lured an Israeli teen to the West Bank in 2001, where he was murdered by Palestinians.
Muna was serving a life sentence until she was released in October in a swap for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said, "the Palestinian leadership seems to be putting murderers up on a pedestal."

More than sad or infuriating this is disgusting and abhorrent and there should definitely be funding repercussions.
Ahmeyn!
