In the year 2010, the Zionist occupation forces killed at least 26 Palestinian children in Gaza.

(TEHRAN Press TV) - Rafeef Ziadeh recites her poem, Hadeel, on Remember Palestine, a show broadcast on Press TV. This is a very moving and touching performance.

Rafeef Ziadeh's poetic verses take into account the short life of Hadeel, a child was killed by a Zionist attack near her home. This poem is about a child; it is very tragic.

Jews and/or Gentiles?

The question of whose religion is right and whose is wrong is not one we can affect or change, or even answer.

(CLEVELAND) - A great deal of religious sentiment and content passes through these Web pages on Salem-News.com, leaving many questions along the way.

It seems clear that there is not enough of this material published online. There was a time when religious organizations were forward thinking, but for the most part they segregate themselves and fail to interact with their communities.

Arizona Tragedy: Tucson

A brief poetic tribute about those who lost their lives...

(CLEVELAND) - The population of the United States is still reeling from the senseless shooting that took place in Arizona, killing several Americans gathered for a sidewalk meeting with Arizona Representative Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords.

They ranged from a Federal Judge; John Roll, to nine-year old Christina Taylor Green who was born on 11 September 2001; the day of one of America's darkest tragedies; not to sell this brutal slaying short.

Hailey Dunn 13 Denied Amber Alert

Are public officials doing enough to help locate missing kids?

(CLEVELAND) - Forward by Mitch Carr: If an Amber Alert had been issued for 13-year-old Hailey Darlene Dunn, you'd see it on blinking TxDOT billboards, hear it on the radio, and be able to see and hear more on TV.

No alert has been issued, however, because not enough information is available.

Steve Irwin `The Crocodile Hunter` (In Memorial)

You are gone but not forgotten...

(CLEVELAND) - Marlin Perkins of Wild Kingdom, Jack Hanna, Joan Embery from the San Diego Zoo were mainstays enlightening us to the mores of the animal kingdom.

Today the channels are overwhelmed with croc this, gator that, snake here, tiger there, so on and so forth. And with this flooding of the airwaves, a phrase comes to mind, “often imitated but never duplicated.”

In God We Trust On Money? That`s Funny!

Are we losing the rat race?

(CLEVELAND) - We are living in an epic time on this planet; big things are taking place on every level and it is widely believed that we are very possibly entering the final chapter or chapters of life as we know it.

Waiting Room

Rome wasn’t built or destroyed in a day...

(CLEVELAND) - Where is God in all of this mess I’m going through? Probably the same place He was when Moses was in the wilderness or while David was on the run first from Saul, then his own son.

How about where was God when John was beheaded or while Christ was nailed to the Cross? We always question where is God in the tough times but never in the good ones.

2011 New Years Resolutions

What does the new year hold for you?

(CLEVELAND) - Do you have a resolution for the new year? So many people do but too many fail to write these promises down and actually keep them.

This is not a year, this is the year for effective change, it will happen. The motivators should be what they always are; love and peace and goodwill toward your fellow human being.

"My thing is, a lot of times you have to put yourself in that situation" - University of Wisconsin junior free safety Aaron Henry

(CLEVELAND) - Terrelle Pryor and five other Ohio State players are suspended by the NCAA for up to 5 games next season.

Their crime? Selling championship rings and memorabilia to help their families financially, and receiving discounts from a tattoo parlor.

Never Again, Gaza

"Never Again" they keep saying; then Gaza was attacked by the Zionist entity.

(LONDON) - “Never Again” they keep saying.

“Never Again” will we stand still while there is injustice in the world.

“Never Again” will we keep silent while innocent people are being murdered.

“Never Again” they keep saying, then Gaza was attacked by the Zionist entity.
