Sunday 7 June 1998
Well said, Clare Short
Overseas aid is a self-perpetuating industry that needs greater public scrutiny.
Aid workers are used to being not simply beyond, but above reproach. They take it for granted, and assume everyone else does, that they are "committed"; that they "care". From their moral high ground they are more accustomed to attacking others for their lack of these qualities than they are to being criticised themselves, as their outraged reaction to Ms Short shows.
In recent days the International Development Secretary has accused aid bodies of "unnecessary" fund-raising for southern Sudan, and has been likened in her turn to somebody blaming the emergency services because we have a lot of accidents. She retorted that the aid agencies were like "999 crews rattling boxes to raise funds when they don't need them to run the ambulances".
Who is right and who is wrong? One finds oneself instinctively on Ms Short's side when she is attacked by the Daily Express, which boasted that it had raised more than pounds 220,000 for Sudan, under a headline paraphrasing her as saying "The children of Sudan don't need your money". This was accompanied by a huge photograph of a starving black baby. She had earlier criticised the use of such "unbearable" images in appeals, saying they "make people flinch and turn away", and could lead to "compassion fatigue".
Ms Short's case is that although as many as 2 or 3 million people may be at risk of starvation in southern Sudan, money is not the problem - getting access is. The aid world, which has been struggling to help the people of the region for nigh on a decade, has plenty of supplies stockpiled next door in northern Kenya. What has prevented relief getting through is the never-ending war between the black rebels of the south, most of whom are Christian or animist, and the Muslim Arabs of the government in Khartoum, which has never much cared whether its citizens in the south live or die. It sees no reason to allow assistance to reach them unless it gets something in return.
Since the late 1980s the aid bodies have worked together under an umbrella body called Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS): this, they boast, prevents them getting in each others' way and enables them to deal consistently with both sides. In many other conflicts aid bodies have become too closely identified with one faction or another; often new groups spring up which, while appearing to offer humanitarian assistance, are thinly disguised propaganda or arms-buying outfits. Thanks to OLS, that has not happened in Sudan, say the agencies. They have a unique agreement with both the government and rebels to bring help to whoever needs it.
What that means in practice, however, is that the humanitarians have to go through every kind of contortion to maintain the appearance of neutrality, even when one side in the Sudan conflict is clearly more culpable than the other. Last month a senior aid official complained to me that the media was always going on about the crisis in southern Sudan, and ignored the suffering in the north. "The government is getting very upset about the focus on the south, and it may jeopardise our work there," said the official. "Why doesn't someone get a visa from Khartoum and go and see what is happening up there?"
The answer, when I looked into it, was that there was no story: even if you could find any starvation in the government-controlled parts of Sudan, it would be perverse to concentrate on it at the expense of what the government is allowing to happen in the south. Yet according to the BBC correspondent George Alagiah, aid officials in Nairobi recently proposed barring journalists from visiting their operations in the rebel-controlled south unless they had visas from the government.
Look at what will happen to Express readers' money, which is going to Unicef, one of the main participants in Operation Lifeline Sudan. Unicef will use it to fly more food into the worst-affected parts of southern Sudan. It would be more cost-effective to bring supplies in by truck or train, but the roads and railways are impassable.
And who has to give permission for aid flights? The government, which refused to allow any planes in at all in February and March. That prevented aid bodies bringing in seeds and tools, which might have enabled local people to plant crops in time for the summer rains (assuming they come this year - El Nino has caused drought for the past two years). It was only in May, when international pressure was brought to bear, that Khartoum lifted most of its restrictions on aid flights, but the problem is now much worse. In a few months 2 or or 3 million people may be entirely dependent on hand-outs.
If OLS had spoken out sooner and more loudly, the Sudanese government might have been forced to back down earlier. But, even now, the agencies, dependent on Khartoum's goodwill, are reluctant to criticise the people most responsible for the crisis. Instead they have been drawn into a squabble with Ms Short, and as the news coverage of Sudan cranks up, much of it misleading, they are preparing to milk it. A month ago Britain's Disasters Emergency Committee, which brings together 15 of the largest organisations, decided against an emergency appeal for Sudan. A couple disagreed, and went ahead on their own. More are now breaking ranks, because the opportunity is too good to miss.
In his waspish book Fishing in Africa, Andrew Buckoke comments: "The development of recipients' dependence on aid has been widely discussed: the development of aid workers' dependence on their salaries less so. The aid agency worker's aim should be to do himself out of a job. The fact that this so rarely happens may not be solely due to the incompetence of so many of Africa's governments or the intractable poverty of its people."
The phenomenon of the aid agency careerist is not confined to Africa. During the $2bn UN operation to bring democracy to Cambodia (it has since gone away again), officials from the UN agencies fought for assignments there. I visited any number of them in their air-conditioned offices in Phnom Penh - air-conditioned for the computers, you understand, not for the people - where they were drawing special allowances on top of their already generous salaries. These allowances alone were more than the monthly salary of the terrified Norwegian volunteer I encountered in a village on the edge of Khmer Rouge territory, where she was subject to regular shelling and machine-gun fire.
For the aid bureaucrat, it is often more important to make sure the money is being disbursed than to worry how it is being spent. Some German bodies, funded by the law which allows taxpayers to divert part of their dues to the churches, are notorious in the aid world: the funds keep rolling in, and they have to be got rid of. I saw the result in Bangladesh after a cyclone devastated the country in 1991 - planeloads of blankets which had been flown halfway round the world when they could have been bought locally, cluttering up Dhaka airport and preventing air movement controllers from bringing in more urgently needed supplies.
These crimes are characteristic of official aid organisations rather than the bodies familiar on the British high street, such as Oxfam or Save the Children, which are much leaner and fitter. One Oxfam executive proudly told me that as the organisation had grown, the average size of the projects it manages had got smaller - but such privately-run operations are mainly a British phenomenon. No other country of comparable size has so many charities, many of them highly effective, but many also small, amateurish and confused in their aims.
These so-called NGOs are dwarfed by the governmental and supranational organisations, full of people who know that you don't get on by offending governments. But they can be just as self-righteous, just as prone to what Rakiya Omaar calls "disaster pornography". Ms Omaar, a Somali who runs a London organisation called African Rights, supports Clare Short's stand against shock appeal tactics, which, she says, depend on "ghastly photographs, usually a starving black baby who is being tended by a white angel of mercy, and a simplistic, apolitical message that disguises a political catastrophe as a 'humanitarian' disaster that can be corrected by a short-term injection of outside assistance".
These "degrading and damaging appeals", she adds, "destroy political accountability; the politicians responsible for the misery are off the hook internationally and the domestic pressure for political change is weakened. So the same disasters recur with painful regularity. And of course the Western public, saturated with these images, assumes that Africans cannot manage their own affairs, and that there is little point in investing in long-term development."
Ms Omaar, an African, sees clearly the collusion between Western media looking for a story to fit the stereotypes, Western aid agencies willing to go along with this kind of reporting if it brings in funds - and the Western public, which privatises its conscience by handing over its money to the humanitarians. But as Ms Omaar implies, and the Development Secretary says, only governments can intervene to stop the authorities in countries such as Sudan harming their own people. Our government, after all, has the moral authority of being elected; the aid bureaucracy does not. Clare Short is right, and the aid world ought to listen to her.

One sobering fact of modern life: endocrine disrupters are everywhere. Occasional contact wouldn't be a major concern but the trouble is, most of us come into contact with them multiple times in a day. Many of these toxins either block or promote estrogen and other hormones, so either way, they throw off your hormonal balance. They can affect the way these hormones function in your body, causing numerous problems that many people mistakenly attribute to stress, aging or just normal aches and pains.

When proton pump inhibiters (PPIs) first came out they were thought of as a miracle cure for those suffering with gastroesphogeal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and a host of conditions exacerbated by the over-production of gastric acid. And by inhibiting its secretion, PPIs certainly got the job done.

Nearly 300 armed American forces are being positioned in and around Iraq to help secure U.S. assets as President Barack Obama nears a decision on an array of options for combating fast-moving Islamic insurgents, including airstrikes or a contingent of special forces. The U.S. and Iran also held an initial discussion on how the longtime foes might cooperate to ease the threat from the al-Qaida-linked militants that have swept through Iraq. Still, the White House ruled out the possibility that Washington and Tehran might coordinate military operations in Iraq.
JetBlue Airways Corporation said it began direct charter flights between New York and Havana on Friday. It's the first major U.S. carrier to fly the route following U.S. President Barack Obama's decision in December to normalize relations with the Communist-ruled island. The airline said Cuba Travel Services Incorporated is offering the weekly flight on Fridays between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Havana's Jose Marti International Airport.
Hispanic leaders are bristling at the largely tepid response by Republican presidential candidates to Donald Trump's characterization of Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug dealers. Several 2016 contenders have brushed off Trump's comments--while others have ignored them. Marco Rubio, a Florida senator who is Hispanic, denounced them as "not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive." His denunciation came, however, after declining for two weeks to address the matter directly.
James Cameron's The Terminator continues to be among the most influential sci-fi movies of all time. It has spawned four followup films, including the acclaimed Terminator 2: Judgment Day and the shortlived Fox series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Throughout it's 30-plus year history, multiple actors have gotten to take on the mantle of John Connor and his parents, Sarah Connor and Kyle Rease. Linda Hamilton originated the role for The Terminator and followed it up with Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Lena Headey played Sarah on Fox's Terminator Series, and her fellow Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke picked up the roll for newly released Terminator: Genysis.
A year and half of nuclear talks between Iran and major powers were creeping towards the finish line on Friday as negotiators wrestled with sticking points including questions about Tehran's past atomic research. Iran is in talks with the United States and five other powers - Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia on an agreement to curtail its nuclear programme in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. "We are coming to the end," said a senior Western diplomat, who added there was no plan to carry on for long past next Tuesday.
A plane powered by the sun's rays landed in Hawaii Friday after a record-breaking five-day journey across the Pacific Ocean from Japan. Pilot Andre Borschberg and his single-seat aircraft landed at a small airport outside Honolulu. His team said the 120-hour voyage from Nagoya broke the record for the world's longest nonstop solo flight. The late U.S. adventurer Steve Fossett set the previous record of 76 hours when he flew a specially-designed jet around the globe in 2006.

Six-foot-eight Bryce Searles stepped up to guard his opponent in the post.
The opponent took a pass, faked and put an elbow into Searles' gut, sending the larger defender back a step in astonishment.
This would not be unusual, except that the offensive player is under five feet tall, is a girl from Gustavus, and has never played basketball before.
"That is it," Searles exclaimed. "That is exactly what I am talking about. See what she did to me?"

Alaska School Activities Association state high school baseball tournament champion Chugiak has picked up right where they left off from high school play by taking the top spot on the American Legion Baseball standings with a four-win and zero-loss record heading into the weekend.
Glancing sideways, her arms pulling strongly forward and back in opposite motions to her legs, Dzantik'I Heeni sixth-grader Ellysiem Paine smiled as runners passed her on an Eaglecrest uphill sprint.
"I like joining running but sometimes I am a little slow," Paine said. "I just try to push myself so I can be faster. Sometimes I am behind and the coaches help me push myself."
Paine was taking part in last week's Sealaska Heritage Latseen Running Camp.
I knew so little about "vertical feet" until I moved to Juneau.
Now I know I like my vertical feet propped up horizontally on the couch.
This usually occurs AFTER I measure vertical feet.
Vertical feet is a statistical category that measures the potential of a mountain experience for those who like mountain experiences.
In my little Ben Gay circle of friends, there is an absolute love of vertical feet.
I confess: I too, love vertical feet — after the fact.

text: on Sep 26, 2013 @ 3:47 PMSep 26, 2013 @ 3:47 PM PublishedNew 'holistic' legislation coming in the fall to stop cyberbullying: MacKayWINNIPEG - Federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay is promising the Tories will introduce new "holistic" legislation in the fall to fight cyberbullying following the recent death of a teen apparently driven to suicide by vile texts and social media messages.MacKay said Canadians have been touched by the death of 15-year-old Todd Loik, a Saskatchewan high school student whose mother said committed suicide earlier this month after relentless online taunts and tormenting."The loss of their 15-year-old son has touched the nation as previous losses have — Rehtaeh Parsons, Amanda Todd and others," MacKay said Thursday at the Canadian Centre for Child Protection in Winnipeg, where the federal government made a $100,000 donation to mark the birth of Prince George."The pain, the suffering reminds us that the bullying must stop."Provinces have brought in a patchwork of legislation against bullying recently. But Kim Loik, the boy's mother, said she wants Ottawa to bring in national anti-bullying legislation.She said there should be one law across the country that would spare other kids the pain her son experienced. Loik won't have long to wait, MacKay said."It's coming," he said. "There will be legislation introduced this fall in the Parliament of Canada that will be aimed specifically at the issue of cyberbullying."The death of Todd Loik follows the deaths of two teenage girls in Nova Scotia and British Columbia.Amanda Todd, a B.C. girl who was tormented online after being sexually exploited, committed suicide last year after posting a heartbreaking video about her treatment at the hands of relentless bullies.Earlier this year, Halifax teen Rehtaeh Parsons hanged herself and died when she was taken off life support. Her family alleges she was bullied relentlessly after a digital photo of her allegedly being sexually assaulted was passed around her school.The federal government has committed to look at new criminal laws that could include a ban on distributing intimate images without consent.Prime Minister Stephen Harper also promised in the spring to fast-track efforts to create an anti-cyberbullying law.The legislation is still in the draft stage, but MacKay said it will combine education with changes to the Criminal Code."It is not going to be a single act of Parliament or a provincial amendment to legislation," he said."It is going to require a holistic response, very much so through our education system, through talk, through a national dialogue. This is what I think is necessary."At the moment, provinces are acting on their own to tackle cyberbullying.Nova Scotia has passed a Cyber-Safety Act allowing victims of bullying to apply for a protection order against their suspected bully, without notifying the bully. The court can cut off the suspected bully's Internet or seize their equipment for up to one year.In British Columbia, the government set up a website that allows students to anonymously report bullying. The website, in turn, passes on details to emergency responders, if necessary, and school authorities.Manitoba recently passed a controversial anti-bullying bill which requires teachers and staff to report incidents of bullying to their principal. The province is now looking at more measures that could include protection orders, mandatory penalties and an anonymous tip line.Lianna McDonald, executive director of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, said a national strategy would be welcome.It's great that people are now talking about cyberbullying more than ever and there is a growing awareness that modern technology has added a new dimension to bullying and taunts, she said.But any national plan should also address mental health issues, social problems and include increased education about healthy relationships in the schools, she said."No family should have to go through that pain of losing a child," she said. "We strongly support the notion of a comprehensive national plan."

Faculty Development Seminars
Designed to enhance the quality of humanities research at UW-Madison and to promote sustained collaboration and dialogue across disciplinary lines, the Center for the Humanities and Institute for Research in the Humanities (with major support from the Dean of the College of Letters and Science) inaugurated Faculty Development Seminars in the Humanities in the spring of 2007.
The Faculty Development Seminars in the Humanities enable an individual tenured faculty member or a team of two tenured faculty members to lead a seminar on a topic of broad interest across the humanities. The seminar leaders receive a course release for directing a seminar of other faculty members who meet ten times during a semester in two-hour sessions. Their department will receive funds for a replacement lecturer. The Faculty Development Seminar program provides research funds of $500 for ten faculty members to participate in the seminar. Seminar leaders and participants will be chosen by a selection committee. The Center for the Humanities and the Institute for Research in the Humanities sponsor and administer the Faculty Development Seminar.
Spring 2015: Global Health? Rethinking Medical Humanities from the Periphery
What can scholarship from the postcolonial world teach us about medical science and practices, both historically and in contemporary times? How might work from the global South transform our understanding of medical history and of more contemporary developments, such as the emergence of medical humanitarianism or the role of NGOs in health?

Fall 2015: Understanding Persecution
Persecution has been a recurrent feature of human history, punctuating it again and again, at various times, in various places and under various guises. The fact is depressing. Its obdurate character makes it depressing. Still we cannot shrug it off. Nor can we shrug off the impression that its destructive power remains intact. Throughout history, persecution has taken many different forms and the groups targeted by its various forms of violence have been diverse. The purpose of this seminar is to tackle this complexity. Through the readings and discussion, the seminar will draw on conceptual tools and comparative analysis to develop a theoretical synthesis and framework for a systematic investigation of persecutory phenomena. The seminar will contrast very different understandings of the temporalities and forms of persecution; examine the role of popular belief in the diffusion of persecutory violence; scrutinize policy-makers' motivations and rationales; discuss the organization of violence both spontaneous and institutionalized; and tackle the range of reactions displayed by victims and bystanders.

I'm a fun-loving, outgoing guy with a good...
I'm a fun-loving, outgoing guy with a good sense of humor. I have a great family I am close with, love my career, and have a very positive outlook on life. I enjoy being outdoors, going out, being around friends, and experiencing new things. I love going to concerts, trying new food and new restaurants, traveling, sampling new beer, and Buckeye football, of course. I prefer getting out of the house on most weekends, but still don't mind relaxing at home, watching a movie, or cooking on a lazy day. I exercise around 4 or 5 days a week with a combination of crossfit, weights, running, and occasional yoga (but no handstands yet). I try to eat somewhat healthy, but can still enjoy a good pizza or burger without feeling guilty. I love beaches and having my toes in the sand, but living in Columbus means that relaxing by the pool is the next best thing on a two hour notice. I grew up out in the country and like going back to my roots occasionally to ride four wheelers, have a few beers around a bonfire, or just relax. I like to enjoy nature and be out in the fresh air, but I'm far from that barefooted guy with no deodorant on, doing bird calls in the woods all weekend. I love good conversation, great company, laughing, and joking around. I don't take myself too seriously, because it's more fun not to. My perfect match is outgoing, easy to talk to, and ready for a real relationship. I am looking for someone who is fun, laid back, and someone who loves to laugh and share good times together. If this sounds like you, I would love to hear from you!

I love 90's Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Classic Rock, and Blues. My favorite movies are comedies. I don't watch much tv except for Simpsons, South Park, Modern Family, Always Sunny, Curb your Enthusiasm, and random documentaries.
Going to new restaurants or bars, trying different food, beer or wine. Playing pool, disc golfing, and being active outdoors. Tailgating and Buckeye games in the fall, movies in the winter, Clippers games in the summer, and concerts all year long.
Car Books, Hot Rod magazines, cookbooks, and restaurant reviews are the extent of my recent reads, sadly. I never read as much as i'd like to.

Short review: The eyes are wonderful creatures, they can sometimes see things that aren�t there, and even witness things that aren�t quite what they seem, exaggerated in a manner that will become erotic to the part of the brain that controls orgasms, this site plays upon all of those senses and more. This content is different, a bit unique and nicely delivered to their paying crowd of voyeuristic onlookers.
Content Amount: To look at the overall material you�ll receive from this site, granted, the numbers are minimal, but, consider they�re 19 months old and holding out just a smidge over weekly for freshness, keeping between 3 and 4 sets per month to their repertoire.
Content Quality: They�ve done well from the standpoint of quality for this fetish site, not only was navigation simple, but videos are now in HD, as promised, and even though galleries aren�t downloadable, they expand nicely for browser viewing with alluring crispness.

My guess is we'll see three different bikes on the Dakar podium this year, and my guess is:
#1 KTM - Coma - the combo of his experience/alien status, and the team structure behind him - plus he really has something to prove after missing out last year...
#2 Honda - rider TBC - I'd love it to be Helder, but I feel one of the Speedbrain riders will have more luck... the Honda 'machine' will make sure their bikes riders are always at the front, but ultimately I think Coma/KTM will nail the strategy game...
#3 Yamaha - Despres - Cyril will have something to prove, and I think he'll get at least one stage win just to rub it in - however, I feel there will be the odd occasion where things just don't go right for him, and the other teams/riders will take advantage of that - he will hang on in there, but I fear the Yamaha France team structure isn't going to be enough compared to the win-at-all-costs approach of KTM and Honda?
These are just my random thoughts...

Indians sign LHP Scott Kazmir to minor deal
JAN 08, 2013 1:27p ET
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Indians have signed free agent left-hander Scott Kazmir to a minor league contract.
Kazmir, a three-time All-Star who led the AL in strikeouts in 2007, will have a shot at making the Indians' starting rotation at spring training in Goodyear, Ariz. The 28-year-old spent last season in the independent Atlantic League. He has a 66-61 career record with a 4.17 ERA in 179 starts for Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Angels. He went 13-9 with a 3.48 ERA in 2007 for the Rays.
The Indians also signed right-hander Jerry Gil and Lefty Edward Paredes to minor league deals with non-roster invitations to camp.
The 30-year old Gil is a former position player who switched the mound in in 2008. He spent last season at Triple-A Las Vegas, going 7-1 with nine saves in 58 relief outings.
Paredes pitched in Seattle's system from 2005-11.

"Palestine" is a fantasy-land. That is why we head this category "Palestine?" "Palestinians" are simply Arabs like Jordanians, Syrians, etc. In 2006, the "Palestinians" voted into power, as their leaders, the violent terror group known as Hamas. They ousted the slightly more moderate group Fatah, currently headed by Mahmoud Abbas. But how much more moderate is Fatah? Abbas earned his PhD with a paper on the fiction of the Holocaust. Neither side will recognize Israel's existence, yet the Western world insists Israel make "peace" with both parties. "Palestine" and the "Palestinian" cause only came about in the mid 1960s when Yaser Arafat put the movement on the map.

"Palestine" and the "Palestinian" cause only came about in the mid 1960s when Yaser Arafat put the movement on the map.
View a presentation about the dark "era of Arafat"
Who is the rightful owner of the most contested piece of real estate in the world? Everyone seems to have an answer to this question that has captured the world's attention. The Bible prophesies a time when the nation of Israel and Jerusalem in particular, will be a burdensome stone to the nations of the earth. In light of recent political events, I believe we are seeing the beginnings of what Zechariah wrote about almost 2,600 years ago. The media, politicians, and pop culture have made the Jews out to be the 'problem'......again. This is because many choose to believe a popular lie and ignore the facts about Palestine.
Anyone wishing to get a glimpse of what a future "Palestinian" state might look like, need look no further than recent actions taken and official statements made by both the Palestinian Authority and its rival Hamas this past month. While these two governing entities detest each other (perhaps even more so than the infidel Yahuds), it is difficult to discern why, since both of these governing bodies spew forth nearly identical xenophobic rhetoric and act with typical autocratic ruthlessness to stifle any whiff of internal dissent. In essence, they both act in a manner that is not dissimilar to the 20 or so chauvinistic, anti-democratic Muslim pseudo-states of the Middle East.
There has been a shift in Christian theology as it pertains to the Church's relationship with Israel and/or Palestinian Christians. Loyalties once rooted in biblical principles are quickly changing. For followers of Yeshua (Jesus), it should not be much of a struggle to recognize Israel's right to exist as well as the desperate need of the Jewish people for their Messiah.
In most parts of the world, it's not easy to find a major issue on which 80% of the population agrees. An election victory in the United States is considered a "landslide" if the winner receives more than about 60% of the vote. (Such as Richard Nixon winning 65% of the vote against George McGovern in the 1972 presidential race.)
But among Palestinian Arabs in Judea-Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza, it turns out there is one issue on which there is more support than any other: randomly murdering Israeli Jews.
Way before Yasser Arafat, the PLO, Hamas, Fatah, Mahmoud Abbas and the likes, there was a Palestine. There was a Palestine that was recognized by the entire world and that was just fine. I am actually in favor of what Palestine used to be prior to the 1960s. Unfortunately, the word "Palestine" has since suffered from some kind of etymological virus for which there seems to be no cure. But why would the world look for a cure when nobody feels that there is even an virus? Yet it is pandemic!
• The original meaning of the word "Palestine":
Much like its Nazi predecessor, "The Big Lie" of today--a nonsensical fabrication spawned in the Middle East, even inside Israel, has rapidly evolved into an Arab propaganda locomotive powered by the steam engines of anti-Semitism. The lie, this falsehood of our time, purports that the "Palestinians", a mythical people whose ancestral beginnings under that moniker can be neither defined nor traced, were ejected from their own land -- a land to which they refer as "Palestine". Hence, the "Palestinian" people, with an international community behind them, maintain that they were "victimized" by the creation of the state of Israel in May, 1948. The Palestinians refer to this day as "Al Nakba", which translates to "Day of Catastrophe". In Israel, Jews and Christians celebrate this glorious day as Yom Ha'atzmaut. It is our Independence Day.
That is precisely why, in addition to leveling all sorts of other accusations at Israel, the Palestinian Authority is engaged in an effort to invent a new historical narrative that puts the Palestinians in the land long before the Hebrews ever arrived from Egypt.
Strang, whose father, Steve, is founder and president of Charisma Media, could be described as progressive in worldview. Steve Strang has a long reputation as a leader in the pro-Israel Christian community. The son, however, is something else altogether. Someone has described Relevant as Rolling Stone for evangelicals.
In the new issue cover story, Cameron Strang quoted a variety of people involved in framing the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The problem is they are all left-wing. Sami Awad, Hanan Ashrawi, Lynne Hybels and Todd Deatherage, among others, are not impartial, unbiased observers. The article itself is steeply slanted toward the Palestinian view of the conflict which is, in short-form, all Israel's fault.
Various Western institutions list "Palestine" as a country, although there obviously is no such place. I shall note them on an occasional basis in reverse chronological order.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: Hany Abu-Assad may have been born in Nazareth, Israel, carry an Israeli passport, film his movie Omar partly in Israel with several Israeli actors (including the male and female leads, Adam Bakri and Leem Lubany) – but he presents the movie as coming from "Palestine" and the organization that hands out the Oscar prizes concurred when it nominated Omar as one of the five finalists in the Best Foreign Film category.
By ELI HERTZ, MYTHS AND FACTS—
The Arabs invented a special national entity in the 1960s called the Palestinians, specifically for political gain. They brand Israelis as invaders and claim the geographic area called Palestine belongs exclusively to the Arabs.
The word Palestine is not even Arabic. It is a word coined by the Romans around 135 CE from the name of a seagoing Aegean people who settled on the coast of Canaan in antiquity – the Philistines. The name was chosen to replace Judea, as a sign that Jewish sovereignty had been eradicated following the Jewish revolts against Rome.

The "Star Trek Into Darkness" actor will take home the honor at NATO's convention in April.
Chris Pine will be honored with the CinemaCon Male Star of the Year Award at the National Association of Theatre Owners convention in April.
"With this summer's Star Trek Into Darkness … and then at year's end, with the release of Jack Ryan, without a doubt 2013 is going to be Chris Pine's year," CinemaCon managing director Mitch Neuhauser said Thursday. "Chris Pine has emerged as one of Hollywood's hottest and most accomplished young actors, and CinemaCon is thrilled to honor him as its 2013 Male Star of the Year."

Pine most recently voiced Jack Frost in Rise of the Guardians and has starred in the films People Like Us, This Means War and Unstoppable. Pine will rejoin fellow castmates Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto in the upcoming Star Trek sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, which hits theaters May 17.
He also will star as the title character in Jack Ryan, the latest film based on the action hero from Tom Clancy's book series. Co-starring Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner, the film opens wide on Christmas Day.
CinemaCon will take place from April 15-18 in Las Vegas. Pine will receive his award during the closing-night gala.
Organizers said last week that The Lone Ranger star Armie Hammer will be honored at the ceremony with the Male Star of Tomorrow award.
