Help East Africa!
There is a whole lot going on in the world right now. In London, people are rioting or carrying out an insurrection depending on who tells the story. In Lybia, rebels aided by the West are trying to wrestle power from infamous Muammar Gaddafi.

Fete de l’independance au Benin: Democratie et...
J’aimerais par la présente note souhaiter une joyeuse fête de l’Indépendance à tous les béninois du monde entier.

Mais en ce moment précis, je ne sais pas si nous avons vraiment le droit de continuer à...

A couple of months ago, at the bus stop, I smiled and said hello to a young woman waiting to catch the bus with my her son. She returned my greeting warmly. Her son, a little man full of energy and boundless joy, paused and looked at me quizzically for a few seconds.

Does that mean that the Jewish people do not deserve reparations? Everybody knows that slavery existed way before the European came to our shores. Many of the kingdoms of...
