I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abeer. Abeer lost her husband (along with his entire family) in a bombing two years ago. She also recently lost both her brother and sister. She is trying to rebuild and take care of her two children, Makeen, 4 and Masa, 2 on her own.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”
