My book, Exit, Pursued by a Bee being used in a creative way in Santa Cruz, California. Yes it is supporting a bong. I knew it would be enjoyed by many :)

"The Other Side of Israel" by Susan nathan

story of a jewish woman from south africa originally who goes to Israel to become a Zionist. What she discovers makes her realize that the Israeli occupation is more intrusive on the lives of the native Palestinians than is acknowldged by the Israeli's, and so many correlating problems ensue.

If you want to know what we really have planned for Afghanistan, Iraq, and the rest of the middle east, read this book, because they are all headed for Apartheid Turmoil in the middle, near east and the rest of Africa
