...Defending the Indefensible,” Adbelnasser A. Rashid’s rash criticism of Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren’s visit to Harvard is based on the false pretenses of the Goldstone report—a report that has been called misleading and inimical to peace by such mainstream publications as the Economist and public officials such as Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

...attempt to paint Israel’s Ambassador Michael Oren as a radical war sympathizer. In fact, Mr. Oren has been on the center-left of the Israeli political spectrum, and once even advocated for a unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank!

The State Historical Museum, tel: (996-312) 62 61 05, with its outlandish shrine to Lenin, is a must...
...occupied Poland from their home on the Italian-occupied island of Rhodes in the Mediterranean - a 14-day journey by boat and by train in a stifling cattle car. "We knew it was an abattoir when we arrived. We could smell the melting flesh," he recalls during a return visit to the death camp 65 years later, his eyes welling up with tears. "We got there at 10 in the morning, and by 2 in the afternoon, my mother and father had been gassed...
