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.

My Husband Beat Me...And It's Israel's Fault
Israel Made Me Beat My Wife -Simon Plosker
The Guardian looked at the status of women in Gaza and reported the following interview:
"My husband used to make good money working in Israel.... When he can't find any work and we have nothing to eat, he blames me....If he had a job, he wouldn't beat me."
So let's get this straight - Israel is the reason that Palestinian men beat their wives.
Maybe The Guardian's journalist might like to consider that violence against women might very well be a by-product of a society that glorifies violence and terrorism, where children learn jihadi skills at Hamas summer camps.
