I do not like Malls. I do not like the visual overload. I like to go into a shop, buy what I need and get out as soon as I can. However, a Mall is handy. There are several (or many) different shops at the same place. It spares time. So today, I had to [...]
Love-story from Occupied Palestine
I’m not inventing anything. I just have decided to let others know. I know, and maybe many readers have heard of it as well, Jewish-Palestinian couples usually always have a hard time, and few succeed to stay together.

After a talk on military service

Video of the demonstration against settlements in Sheikh Jarrah

Now here is the video: The demonstration starts in the very center of West Jerusalem, goes trough the most important shopping roads, then turns (near the Old City) onto “Road Number 1″ which is in fact the Green Line inside [...]
