How did the cartoonists in the Arab media Commemorate the 60th anniversary of Nakba?

I’ve been monitoring most of the Arab media, especially newspapers, during the last 5 days to read what they have to say on this event. To tell you the truth, you haven’t missed much. On the air, Aljazeera made a big difference [...]

If it is true that the power belongs to the people in America, and Congress still answers to the people, then what force prevents the people from rising up to demand that Congress answer to the people’s will? The answer to that question is that the “silent majority” is only silent because they have [...]

One of my grandfathers (out of thousands other Palestinian grandfathers of mine) tells us his story:
