news articles

Kids play in the surf, Krabi, Thailand, 2001.

On these pages you will find a collection of my published news articles from around the Middle East and Southeast Asia. They span from 2001-2009 and include such events as the 2006 Israel-Lebanon War, the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza, the 2004 Asian Tsunami, and the 2003 crackdown on democracy in Burma. To make it easier to search the archive, stories are headed by geographic region or by special topic (Tsunami, Gaza Disengagement, and Israel-Lebanon War).  Most, but not all, were published in The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor or The Jerusalem Post.
