Its quiet on our end but we are updating the site with a complete redesign, bug free and with beautiful layouts and new pieces by new contributors. Here's a taste of the old days when we reported from inside the occupation of the University of Rochester in solidarity with Gaza!

Perhaps I should add that the agreement was signed minutes before midnight and no faced disciplinary actions. Security waited until we cleaned, packed, and walked out the door. The occupation was followed by a march to the library. Outside the library we chanted as loud as we could, in excitement bu...

A Breakdown of the Israeli Election and the right-ward shift. http://www.thesitch.com/politics/2013/02/breaking-down-the-israeli-elections/

There is something really sick about a system that commodifies everything, particularly ideas. That criminalizes the sharing of information without profits or threatening the model that maintains them. So sick this system, that how it penalizes people is so inhumane that it'll drive someone to take their own life.... for something you learn day one in pre-school. Sharing.

Oh... we're back.

Today marks the 3rd anniversary since I left Cairo, Egypt after my journey to Gaza in December 2009 through January 2010. After shooting 36 hours of video in 36 days I had the grueling task of combing through it all and figuring out just what kind of story I wanted to tell. After some ebbs and flows...
