This
is a news article about my great grandfather, Mohammad Khalil Abulhawa
(spelled Abu el-Hawa here). And the link is archival AP footage of him
in 1957. The tattered document they show in both the picture and link is
his birth certificate showing that he was born in 1821. He was 136
years old when these news reports were made of him. On my father's side,
he is my great grandfather. On my mother's
slide, he is my great uncle. He outlived 5 wives and fathered 26
children. He holds the record for the longest life in the Middle East.
Amazingly, there are records of older people in other parts of the
world.

(CNN) -- The Holy Land makes for inspiring, fascinating, confusing travel.
To some, the chunk of territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is all Israel.
To others, it's all Palestine.
For most -- as is true so often in this region of shifting truths and manipulated historical narratives -- it's a bit of both.

talking about it without pissing somebody, if not everybody, off."

JERUSALEM (Ma’an) -- A Muslim-Christian group on Sunday decried an
Israeli government plan to build a military academy in occupied East
Jerusalem.
Peace Now settlement watch director Hagit Ofran said
on Sunday that notices were hung around the Mount of Olives, giving the
public 60 days to file objections to the building of the eight-story
military college.
The Islamic-Christian Commission said the plan
is part of Israeli authorities' efforts to erase the Palestinian
identity of East Jerusalem.
Israel captured East Jerusalem in a
1967 war and later illegally annexed the city, a move never recognized
by the international community. Palestinians insist East Jerusalem is
the capital of their hoped-for state.
Israel approved some 800
new housing units in the illegal settlement of Gilo near Jerusalem
earlier this week, drawing condemnation from the European Union.
