I was 13 at the time and didn't know what a Palestine was, but these images were incredibly conspicuous for how rare they were. Moscow held a memorial vigil. *Tehran* held a memorial vigil. Palestine celebrated.

"Our national immigration policy must be social and cultural policy first, and economic policy second and mostly derivative of the first.
"Without a high-trust society and the social capital that comes from a common respect for our historic order, the rule of law, and a politics that is not based on ethnic allegiance, economic freedom is of little benefit, if not impossible.
