This week we have more original and very important items, as well as 
a selection of articles from other sources. We'd like to point out a 
few of the ones we believe are definitely worth checking out.

An original documentary film by two young Palestinians from the 
Yarmouk Refugee Camp who have gone to see the situation in the 
Al-Tanaf Refugee Camp. A living hell for these people, expelled from 
Palestine in 48, fleeing destruction of their homes, finding refuge 
in Iraq, only to be sent to this no-man's-land on the Syrian border. 
An extraordinary, moving, poetic film.

Tariq Shadid does it again. An original, gripping and insightful 
piece that asks all the right questions, and looks at the moment 
Palestinians are living in and its incredibly important events.

A superb, heartfelt and intense letter written by a Syrian Catholic 
Priest to Pope Benedict. In the important upcoming "Holy Week", I 
urge all Christians to read, copy and distribute it to those who 
celebrate Easter. It will show them the issue of Arab Christians and 
their requests that the Church become interested in history and 
reality and not rhetoric.
