Almost every subject can be argued
two ways, especially when the subject at hand is as controversial as the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict. No matter how unjust the Israeli siege on

pretext of state security. However, one subject, which cannot possibly
have a flip side to it, is the torture of… Continue
