…m to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cellphone and calls 911. He gasps: “My friend is dead! What should I do?” The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

These two eruptions and others have demonstrated to me and to all those who still entertained doubts on the matter, that there is no such thing as a liberal occupation, and there cannot be such a thing. Neuman tried to debunk the myth that the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza since 1967 is justified since Israel is facing annihilation.

…acoustical engineer. Is the space intimate enough that we won’t need microphones? Unfortunately, no. For one thing, a T-coil or hearing loop, which transmits sound directly into hearing aids, relies on amplification.
