I put this off long enough. I promised in late August that I would continue to write entries as I studied at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in Evanston, Illinois. I guess I didn’t realize how easily it is to get caught up in...

I want to take you, dear readers, on a trip back in time. A more innocent time perhaps when mankind's yearnings for redemptive change seemed possible. In the heart of New York a Palace for Peace was built that still stands today. Its main tower is narrow...

Back home in Montreal, parts of my summer seem a little surreal. Was that really me taking buses in Jerusalem, calling up pundits, writing articles about the war between Hizbullah and Israel? A quick look at my blog entries confirms that it was me the...

    I couldn’t be in Israel this whole summer without at least seeing the other side. Yesterday, the Bureau Chief here at The Media Line was nice enough to take me on a drive around the parts of Jerusalem I never get to see.   Our first...

  I have put it off long enough. It’s finally time for a news round up. The big story today was the Israeli army’s bombing of Qana in southern Lebanon. 60 civilians were said to have died. The Israeli army bombed a large building which it claims...

I have nothing new to report on the fighting between Hizbullah and Israel. The humanitarian situation in Lebanon sounds appalling and northern Israel is still extremely dangerous. The past two days I have been working on a background article on the...

This has been quite the week to be in Israel. While it cannot be called a full out war, probably the best way describe what is going on now is as an intense, armed conflict between Israel and Hizbullah. The fighting is continuing, people are dying and...

So this is what journalism is like during a time of war. Israel is still being battered with missiles and the pictures of shelled out buildings in Beirut don't look so hot either. It's been only two weeks since I wrote that I went hiking in the Golan...

Israel is now fighting a two front war. The army is deployed in Gaza and Lebanon. Cities in Northern Israel are being hit with Katyushas (long range rockets), including Safed, a city I visited not too long ago. At least 90 people have been wounded by...

At around noon Israeli time, I was about to post that the latest development in Gaza was that the Israeli Army struck a building which was a meeting place for terrorists. This is still the latest news from Gaza but now there is more breaking news in...

Headlines scream: "Israel move deeper into Gaza, Israel creates Buffer Zone in Northern Gaza." What can I tell you that you haven't read already? Not much but for the lazier ones out there, I'll provide a quick recap. The latest on the kidnapped soldier...

  "We give the Zionist enemy until 6:00 tomorrow morning, Tuesday, July 4." This was the message faxed out to news agencies today and posted on the Hamas website. Unless the Israeli government gives into the captors' demands, which include releasing...

Jens U. Poppen from Port-of-Spain, Trinidad   One of those never-ending Caribbean tales is the story of Haitian politics with its steady succession of strong-armed potentates, foreign invaders, international administrations and lonely democrats....

In my last post, I wrote that if the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit was not returned safely, an Israeli armed force would enter Gaza for the first time since last August's withdrawal. Well, as everyone is probably aware, Shalit has yet to be returned...

This is Liana B. Baker reporting live from the Middle East. Okay, I might be getting ahead of myself but I am reporting live from The Media Line, an American non-profit news agency with a bureau in Jerusalem. Check it out at www.themedialine.org...
