The situation following the 2014 conflict in Gaza- Israeli soldiers and the Palestinians at the Askar refugee camp in the West Bank
11/06/2014
Palestinian feelings of occupation have not changed in the West Bank, Israelis sense of insecurity has not changed, as Israeli soldiers face Palestinian youth near a refugee camp in Nov. 2014. Jerusalem returns as a major issue as it did a decade ago under Arafat when a peace agreement faltered over the status of Jerusalem. Palestinian leader Abbas says Muslims and Christians can never accept Israel's claim that Jerusalem belongs to Israel.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
