From The Frying Pan To The Ceasefire (And Back Again)
The Middle East won’t know peace until the carbon crusaders are kicked out for good. Until the aircraft carrier called Israel is sunk and the satraps of Saudi and Egypt represent the people. Palestine is just the epicenter of the broader catastrophe that is American occupation overall.

This is obviously going to take a while, and there will be blood.
