I'm back!

I'm back, and it's none too soon! There's a lot happening all over the Middle East. We've got the situation with Turkey and the Kurds; the US is turning Karbala over to the Iraqis; there's a kid's circus in Israel composed of Muslims and Jews that is bringing people together; Combatants for Peace is made up of Palestinians and Israelis who want peace; Alan Johnston speaks about being held captive in Gaza for three months; and a lot more. I'll try to get up-to-date on what's going on.
