58 Young Palestinian, Israeli Leaders Re-Affirm Partnership Against Extremism - Meeting for the first time 58 OneVoice Palestinian & Israeli Youth Leaders explored concrete ways in which they can empower citizens against extremism and towards conflict resolution.

For slain soldier's father, shelter from funeral protesters - U.S. Army Sgt. Gordon Foster Misner II's family was shielded by the Patriot Guard from protestors. Sgt. Misner recently passed away Feb. 22 in Iraq. The protesters are part of Kansas church who have been protesting the US's stand on gay rights at the funerals of soldiers across the country. The Patriot Guard riders line up with hundreds of American flags and revving motorcycle engines so families of fallen soldiers neither hear nor see the group protesting during the funeral services of their loved ones.
