The world has been serving up a lot of big headlines of late… Earthquakes and uprisings have rocked the world.
Two other news story that might have ordinarily received more world attention slipped by many of us last week.
Both were sad reminders of the inflamed relations between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors.
The first is the gruesome story of a terrorist attack on a Jewish family who were knifed to death while their slept in their home. The dead included a four year old boy and his baby sister.
The second was a decision by the Israeli government to restart construction of Israeli settlements in disputed land. This action will most certainly lessen the chance of any peace talks between the two adversaries.
Are there any other stories out there you think the world is missing?
