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 Resurrects Extinct Animals
Deer, Oryx Return to Galilee and Negev -Zafrir Rinat
The wild oryx [pictured above], fallow deer and roe deer became extinct in this region. Yet a practical plan by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority has been successfully implemented and such animals have returned to the Galilee and Negev.
The Parks Authority raised these animals in facilities on the Carmel and in the Arava, and returned them gradually to nature over two decades.
