Movie Review
Fantastic movie review of the “Labyrinth,” a fictional film about the Lebanese civil war, in the Daily Star.

Palestinians to tour pile of rubble
Today was the first major stop of Christians for Israel USA’s tour of bombed out bus 19, to “show that those who would destroy Israel as a nation have formed an alliance against God.” Ha’aretz earlier estimated that 70,000 ralliers would attend today’s launch in front of the Capitol building.
