Esta guerra no comenzó hace un mes

La vida normal en Ramala —ciudad de Cisjordania a la que se le conoce por su población joven y su vida nocturna animada— está paralizada desde hace un mes.

“Just… one day in one US state,” Maddow intoned, with the deadpan astonishment she reserves for particularly alarming news.

In St. Paul, the state capital, however, it was hard to detect much disquiet.…  Seguir leyendo »
