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.

Woman Saves Her Family from Terrorist
Woman Singlehandedly Drives Terrorist Away -Ilana Curiel
Yael Re-em-Matzpun [pictured above with scars], 39, a resident of Sde Avraham in southern Israel, managed to chase out a Palestinian who broke into her home and threatened her with a knife and an iron rod.
She struggled with him inside the house at 4 a.m., singlehandedly protecting her four children.
Yael's father, Danny Matzpun, told Ynet: "She pushed him into the bathroom and blocked the door using one of the kids' beds. She hurt herself during the struggle; he leaned against her and stabbed her in the face and the shoulder."
The assailant then climbed out a window and ran away, before he was caught [and killed] by security forces two km. from the scene.
