A man dedicated to Palestine: Rich Wiles
British photographer Rich Wiles, who has spent years working and teaching in Palestine, has launched a website. His new book, Behind the Wall: Life, Love and Struggle in Palestine, is released next month: Of the approximately seven million Palestinian refugees around the world, more than 650,000 are living in camps along the West Bank and…
Tehran feels the financial pressure
It’s impossible to know the veracity of these allegations – and military threats against Iran continue – but such reports merely add to the ongoing pressure on the Islamic Republic: A Kuwaiti newspaper published over the weekend a list of 66 senior Iranian government officials holding a fortune totaling some $16 billion abroad, according to…
