Holocaust survivors condemn Israel for 'Gaza massacre,' call for boycott

Hundreds of Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors have signed a letter, published as an advertisement in Saturday's New York Times, condemning "the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza" and calling for a complete boycott of Israel.
According to the letter, the condemnation was prompted by anadvertisement written by Elie Wiesel and published in major news outlets worldwide, accusing Hamas of "child sacrifice" and comparing the group to the Nazis.

How Sam Van Aken created one tree that bears 40 different kinds of fruit (+video)


When Sam Van Aken was growing up, he had no idea that the farming practice of grafting – growing one kind of tree on the trunk or branch of another variety – would one day create extraordinary, living art.
"The idea came from a fascination with the process of grafting," Mr. Van Aken, associate professor of sculpture in the School of Art at Syracuse University, told National Geographic. 

"The idea came from a fascination with the process of grafting," Mr. Van Aken, associate professor of sculpture in the School of Art at Syracuse University, told National Geographic. "When I'd seen it done as a child, it was Dr. Seuss and Frankenstein and just about everything fantastic."

Who Put Confederate Flags Around Martin Luther King Jr.'s Church?
Disgusting.

Dr. Raphael Warnock received the disturbing news on Thursday morning -- someone had draped four Confederate flags around the campus of his church in Atlanta.
It would be unnerving for any black church to find Confederate flags on its grounds. But this was the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, the spiritual home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It’s where the beloved civil rights leader was baptized, preached fiery sermons on freedom, and eulogized after his death.
