What do we want in 2011?
Jewish American blogger and writer Max Ajl is currently in Gaza and wrote this moving post about his wish list for 2011: A friend of mine here said that what we need are not “new year’s resolutions but new year’s revolutions.” So what do I hope for in this New Year? I hope for revolutions.…
