Gabrielle Giffords, Tom Hurndall and Palestinian Children
Shot in the Head

Let us pray that Gabrielle Giffords recovers fully, returns to Congress, and that she then works to prevent others – including Palestinians – from being shot in the head.

(SACRAMENTO) - There is something particularly horrifying when someone is shot in the head. Perhaps it’s the gruesome image, the destruction of the brain; a clear intent to kill.

“The armed forces of Lebanon, Hezbollah and its allies, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Iran are on military alert...” - the young man who works in the phone shop near my flat whispered.

(SOUTH BEIRUT, Lebanon) - “ In case no one has noticed, the Obama administration just gifted Lebanon to Iran. Washington earlier presented Iraq, Afghanistan, the Gulf, and Pakistan. Could it be more clear that Iran’s strategic trump card is America’s subservience to Israel?
