"I
can't imagine a better way to explore the richness of Turkish culture
than through its music. A guided music tour led by World Music expert
Dore Stein would be unforgettable. Dore opens doors that music-lovers
who travel on their own don't even know are there."

The Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai
reports that Israel is preparing to strike Hezbollah targets in Syria.
The Al Rai report said that the situation on the Israel-Syria border is
tense and that Syria could respond immediately to any Israeli attack
and not demonstrate the restraint that it did after the Israeli Air
Force bombed a suspected nuclear reactor in Syria in the fall of 2007.
A
handful of former Israeli servicewomen have spoken out about their
military experiences, a move that has brought accusations of betrayal
and disloyalty.
Inbar Michelzon "I left the army with a ticking bomb in my belly. I
felt I saw the backyard of Israel. I saw something that people don't
speak about. It's almost like I know a dirty secret of a nation and I
need to speak out."
Dana Golan:"It occurred to me that sometimes we're doing things that
just create victims. To be a good occupier, we have to create conflict."

Morocco: where music happens.
"A
tour with Dore Stein is a most amazing voyage. Dore brings love and
knowledge of diverse musical sources to his tour. He loves to dive into
the local scene and creates opportunities to hear music you would not
otherwise experience. I have haunting memories of Gnawa musicians
performing in a restaurant in Essaouira that was closed for the
evening, and surreal memories of Berber musicians performing at a
desert camp in the Sahara for New Year's Eve.
