Editors note:

Better World News applauds with great hope the ceasefire in Lebanon. However we do firmly believe that a lasting peace in the region is a just peace. Therefore we will devote a considerable amount of our coverage to the Middle East and the important players in this conflict and the region. Please share anything you may know or learn about the Middle East. From knowledge comes justice and from justice comes peace. Our academic bias is for a two state solution. We believe that a free Palestine is the only way Israel can secure its future. Security and freedom are the two priorities in the crisis the world currently faces. Please continue to burn your candles for peace and send digital images to work@betterworldfamily.net
