Israelis and Palestinians Should Say, Halas Nimas Halas Bekaffi – Enough is Enough!

"Television is not the truth. Television is a go’ damned amusement park."

This includes any gathering, even if non-political. This will of course intimidate ordinary citizens and civic groups. The media has not yet reported on this worrisome impingement on the [...]
