Website

I came across the website/blog Mondoweiss today.

They describe themselves as being a news website devoted to covering American foreign policy in the Middle East, chiefly from a progressive Jewish perspective.

The site has four principle aims:
1. To publish important developments touching on Israel/Palestine, the American Jewish community and the shifting debate over US foreign policy in a timely fashion.
2. To publish a diversity of voices to promote dialogue of these important issues.
3. To foster the movement for greater fairness and justice for Palestinians in American foreign policy.
4. To offer alternative to pro-Zionist ideology as a basis for American Jewish identity.

What led me to this site was this article:

80 year old Palestinian woman stoned by settlers

Settlers stone elderly Palestinian lady
RAMALLAH (WAFA) 31 Oct -- A group of Jewish settlers Monday stoned an elderly Palestinian lady as she was picking olives in Mukhmas, a village southeast of Ramallah in the West Bank, according to local sources. The 80-year-old woman was reported to be injured in the head and transferred to hospital for treatment.

Again, I just stumbled upon this site today so I am unable to speak to its accuracy or fairness. I do plan to check back to it from time to time though. As should you if you are interested in this area of the world.
