A major new road joining Jerusalem to Israeli settlements in Hebron bisects land owned by the Jaber family. They have farmed these fields for 300 years. They once owned 60 dunums (60,000 square metres) but now have four (4,000 square metres) - the rest has been confiscated by Israeli settlers. The Jabers fight to farm on the land they have left.

I am a fan of both these guys, great vid.

Yesterday I was having the same thoughts that Ron expresses here, and it made so much sense that I wondered why no-one in the media or government had thought about it this way. Amazing that the same evening I hear this on YouTube. Please listen.

We, the people of the United States should petition the government to allow for [...]

My beloved mother purchased this book for me after she read it twice. It was her hope and prayer that the story would answer some of my questions about the bible and “draw me back to God.”
While the book didn’t have quite the effect on me that my mother hoped, I did enjoy the easy [...]

So I had recently upgraded the hard drive in my macbook pro to the 380 gig 7200 rpm version and formatted it as I always did, Journaled & Extended.
Shortly afterwards I attempted to upgrade the firmware to 1.3 and I ran into an issue. I had not selected “GUID” from the partition menu when formatting [...]

One item of particular interest to me is the progress that Trent (T.R.) has made as an individual.
As a young person, I was filled with a lot of rage, particularly against God for [...]
