Palestinian Game Changer Led By A Woman? Excellent News if True!!

Via Nick Kristof at the New York Times.

"But imagine if Palestinians stopped the rock-throwing and put female pacifists in the lead. What if 1,000 women sat down peacefully on a road to block access to an illegal Jewish settlement built on Palestinian farmland? What if the women allowed themselves to be tear-gassed, beaten and arrested without a single rock being thrown? Those images would be on televisions around the world — particularly if hundreds more women marched in to replace those hauled away."

Yes. Just IMAGINE!

Millions of Girls Are "Disappeared" and Trafficked Into Brothels Each Year. Who Knew the U.S. Has A Government Program That Would Bring Them Here??

Thanks to No Quarter for keeping me up to the minute on the ACORN funds available for prostitution rings and brothels: HERE and HERE.

Am I losing my mind? There is actually a taxpayer financed, government program in the USA that would help someone traffic in 13 year old girls from El Salvador?

At the time that the stories above were breaking... I was sitting in a bookstore reading Half The Sky. After listening to this interview with the authors, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Their book is about the abysmal treatment of women, worldwide. Including the millions of girls that are trafficked into brothels every year.

I guess I was naive enough to believe that none of those girls could possibly be coming to the U.S.??

Shows what I know....
