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.

Israel Mourns
The Prime Minister [blue tie] and President [right] of Israel participate in their Memorial Day, "Yom HaZikaron"
A moment of stillness is observed at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for Yom HaZikaron, The Day of Rememberance. 22,993 IDF soldiers have fallen serving their country.
In a YouTube video posted on the eve of Israel Independence Day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the opportunity to acknowledge Israel's "millions of friends," both Jewish and non-Jewish, and thank them for "their unwavering support" of the Jewish state.
