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 Prepares for War...Muppet Style
Muppet Urges Israelis to Prepare for Possible Emergency -Jeffrey Heller
The Israeli muppet version of Oscar the Grouch - Moishe Oofnik [pictured] - appears on the cover of a new, emergency pamphlet being distributed nationwide in a country preparing for possible war with Iran.
The pamphlet instructs Israelis how to prepare a safe room or shelter for emergency situations, and reminds people that they have between 30 seconds and three minutes to find cover between the time air raid sirens sound and rockets slam into their area.
The pamphlet urges Israelis to have a "family talk" about getting ready for any national emergency.
