AND NOW, A WORD FROM SOMEONE WITH ANOTHER VIEWPOINT

(Ed.'s Note: One of our eight readers sent us a photo of a poster they say is appearing in the downtown area of Brownsville. It depicts a Palestinian woman holding a child in the shadow of the wall built by the Israeli government to keep her out of Israel. The other woman – also holding a child – is of an asylum seeker from Central America against a section of the barbed wire border wall keeping them out of the United States. The slogan below them "Desde la Frontera a Palestina" is reminiscent of the Palestinian slogan "From the River to the Sea." Is it a fair comparison? Some would argue that it is not, but it is an opinion that is obviously shared by some people in the city. Here, for the sake of dialogue, is the photo.)
