Ari's Freedom Switch: By Killing
http://arisfreedomswitch.blogspot.com/2014/09/by-killing.html
Friday, September 12, 2014. By killing their relatives we turned 3,000 al Qaeda into 30,000 ISIS/ISIL. America's leaders don't understand how the cycle of violence expands exponentially. We claim to be Christian, followers of Jesus Christ, yet we frequently unsheath our knife to push our ways, protect our possessions. We invade new territories to open new markets and gain access to "our" earthly resources. By killing their kin. We'll turn 30,000 ISIS/ISIL into 90,000 what? PEU Report/State of the Division.

Ari's Freedom Switch: April 2014
http://arisfreedomswitch.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 5, 2014. Middle East Nonpeace Process Continues. It's a sad day when peace between Israel and the Palestinian Territories is dependent upon an unrelated act by their "peace broker," the United States. The release of convicted spy. Jonathan Pollard has been sold as a means to keep the fractured sides at the negotiating table. Frankly, it's painful. To see how much the parties want to continue the status quo.
