Cause Announcement from Palestinian Refugees Right to Return - Al-Awda

palestinian woman Dear All 
As you know, Israel seized and confiscated 19,000,000 donums of Palestinian land which makes 93% of Israel's area. Now Israel passed a law which effectively allow the sale of this land to any Jew any where.

Adalah alerted all to this grave development.
The report: "Dividing War Spoils" at this link:

http://www.plands.org/store/writing/Selling%20Refugees%20Land%20Sept%202009.pdf summarizes the history and suggests recommendations.

Maps and Tables are from the "Atlas of Palestine 1948" and Adalah's compiled data of 1953/54 confiscation.
This subject should be raised in every forum.

As a young teenager, George was apprenticed to a local stone mason, but his tenure didn’t last the summer. George was found to be carving mysterious symbols into the lim...

I did this one with colored pencil but wasn't real happy with it. I put a Photoshop filter on to liven it up some. I'll probably do it again so I can get it right.

Soviet political cartoonist Yefimov dies at 108

His cartoons spanned virtually the entire history of the communist state, from shortly after the 1917 revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Among his most memorable drawings was one showing a wretched-looking Hitler, who is said to have ordered Yefimov shot if the Nazis captured Moscow in World War II. Instead, Yefimov was sent after the war to the Nuremburg trials to draw the Nazis as they faced justice. Yefimov also turned his pen against the United States. His Cold War drawings po...
