In other news, I recently rediscovered Banana Nut Crunch cereal

While age, not one’s generational membership, often seems to define political attitudes, something tells me that today’s Palestinian teens and young adults will indeed carry the scars of this era with them over their life course. www.wsj.com/world/middle... /1
