Israeli warplanes suddenly appeared over the skies of the Palestinian
territory of Gaza in broad daylight and unleashed a deadly barrage of
bomb and missile attacks that continue as we go to press. This could
not be taking place without the approval of the U.S., for whom Israel
serves as an enforcer in the Middle East.
The U.S.-supplied Israeli F-16 warplanes and Apache helicopters
attacked all of Gaza's main towns, including Gaza City, Khan Younis and
Rafah, striking more than 210 targets in the first 24 hours of what
Israel threatens will be "war to the bitter end." Police
stations-located in the middle of civilian areas-government offices,
the Islamic University,
and many other sites were hit. By Sunday, over 300 had been
killed-including many civilians and an estimated 700 wounded. It was
the most Palestinians killed in a single day in decades. <a rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0016uzGVWVCn1EvVwN1v7pFwd3_0vULLpJhrZSrydzLi6PY6VHnQ7Bha6Pu1eNw1RkHBTBSixExIGE2qcDk5ORXQmoP-K08VJnkHg1afwgmyiPADyLCTNDG8koPFiRdAKa1anGwzMPunJs="><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1230591226_0">Read entire article...</span><br></a></font></font></font></div></div>

film by
director/writer Thomas McCarthy gives viewers a glimpse into the lives
of immigrants held in a windowless warehouse-like detention center. But
it's much more than that. The simple and moving film tells the story of
four
people whose lives become intertwined. There's Walter, a 62-year-old
white
economics professor going aimlessly through life, Tarek, a drummer from
Syria, Zainab, his Senegalese girlfriend
who sells handmade jewelry at flea markets, and Tarek's mother, Mouna.
As the film unfolds, the characters
interact and bring into each other's lives part of the picture of this
world we
live in, in ways that are surprising but also real. When a disaster
happens,
Walter is compelled to decide whether he will stand with Tarek, Zainab
and Mouna or look away from what is happening.</font>
