No, no si se puede, hombres: That’s how the cookie crumbles!

Someone said, “If you don’t have something nice to say about someone, don’t say anything.” Oh, the idiocy of America!! Shit-dog, this country, now, and going back when I was in my teens (13 when my family moved us from Paris, France, to Arizona – of all places), well, lying, cheating, achy-breaky heart, don’t you […]

Kushner’s “Ultimate Deal” Would Strip Palestinians of Their Human Dignity

Is there no humiliation left for the Palestinians? After Oslo, after the “two state solution”, after the years of Israeli occupation – of “Area A” and “Area C” to define which kind of occupation the Palestinians must live under – after the vast Jewish colonisation of land thieved from its Arab owners, after the mass killings of Gaza, and Trump’s decision that Jerusalem, all of Jerusalem, must be the capital of Israel, are the Palestinians going to be asked to settle for cash and a miserable village?

The most recent attack is alleged to have taken place earlier this month in Douma, Syria.
