Hug an American Day and much more on PTT

[mary <humdrum2 at libero.it>]

Lots of great new material on PTT! 
First of all, we are very pleased to present one of our new
contributing authors: Qais Nawwaf, a displaced Iraqi. He writes about a
very interesting initiative to spread peace and love between Arabs and
Americans (who don't happen to be Arabs). A very good read indeed!

Our contributing writer Mozghan Savabieasfahani tells us what she
thinks of Obama's peace prize. Another brilliant piece of writing.

Manuel Garcìa Vinò has written an absolutely stunning thought piece
on Palestine. "By Order of Mr God". Very original, very moving.

two short Tariq Shadid and Mirna Sakhleh videos! A fantastic song by
Doc Jazz "Intifada" and an excerpt from Mirna's piece inspired
by the Caryl Churchill drama "Seven Jewish Children"

on Tlaxcala and Rebelion was involved in a
"coincidence"... the Italian Friday Supplement to the major
newspaper, La Repubblica, published an article about the same issue,
without the moral judgment or analysis, but with the same beginning...
curious, no?
