					<description><![CDATA[Albert Einstein is credited with saying, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Whether he actually said it or not, the definition stands. This definition also very well describes the Trump Administration’s war with Iran. According to media reports, President Trump was cajoled by Israeli [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Childhood is meant to be a journey of gradual awakenings; an accumulation of sunlit afternoons, scraped knees, carefree school days and the gradual safe unfurling of identity. However, for a Palestinian child growing up in the Israeli killing fields of Gaza or the occupied West Bank there is no such protected sanctuary.  In the West [&#8230;]]]></description>
