one step forward, two steps back...

even as the arab spring struggles to bloom and arabs all over the region awaken and demand change and dignity and freedom, the cold frost between palestine and israel continues into its sixth decade with no sign of bloom and thaw in sight. its the same old stagnant, this land is my land rhetoric.
egypt may have opened its borders with gaza, but the battle on the palestinian front lines rages on along with the show stopping throw-down of obama vs bibi
well written and well meaning speeches are great mr. president, but they are no longer enough, and haven't been for years.
(insert poignant overused quote about peace and human rights and freedom for all here).
