White Birds

Agamon HaHula.

A grey crane taking off from the Agamon Hula lake in northern Israel. More than half a billion birds of about 400 different species pass through the Jordan Valley to Africa and go back to Europe during the year. About 42,500 grey cranes stayed this winter in the Agamon Hula instead of migrating to Africa, taking advantage of the safety of this artificial water source. Local farmers feed the birds with corn in a bid to prevent them from destroying their agricultural fields.

The Middle East peace story you haven’t heard

There’s a small piece of land, roughly the size of New Jersey, in the center of the Middle East, just a sliver along the Mediterranean Sea…a land that has seen and, continues to see, more than its fair share of conflict and strife…a land rife with many well known old stories of power struggles, attacks, defenses, mistrust, and blame that are still debated with vigor to this day.

And yet, there is another story of this land that you probably haven’t heard. The land, of course, is Israel and the story is about man vs. nature. Read the rest.
