		<description><![CDATA[This morning, the President of the Unites States of America signed several executive orders, one of which orders the closure of the detention facility resort located at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. While my opinions of the Patriot Act are mixed, I think closing GITMO is a good idea as long as proper care is taken to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Hours after the final Israeli troops leave the area, the tunnels that connect Gaza to Egypt are repaired and back in service. I found this somewhat surprising initially, as a large focus during the Israeli aerial bombardment was the destruction of the tunnel network that is used to transport goods into Gaza from Egypt.

		<description><![CDATA[ 
In light of the recent week’s events in Gaza, I have been researching the history of Hamas and that of the Palestinians. Hamas is, to put it plainly, a terrorist organization which violently seized control of Gaza in 2007. With 1.4 million people suffering within the walls of Gaza, I can&#8217;t help to think [...]

Israel has an election [...]
