Blogs Related to WILPF

Eventually, I'd like to start a WILPF blogroll. For now, here are some blogs directly related to WILPF's work:

UN Dispatch: A roundup of news related to the UN, with an emphasis on the blogosphere. Sponsored by the United Nations Foundation.

Water Well: Watering the Future: "Water conservation and Health. Watering the future of earth's most precious resource."

Regarding the Middle East: I learned at the WILPF Congress that we will never all agree on our analysis of U.S. relations with the Middle East, especially Israel and Palestine. Here are three sources I personally find useful:

Informed Comment: blog of Political Science Professor Juan Cole, which offers the best translation of news from the Middle East in English I have seen on the web.

Rafah Pundits: "Broadcasting to the blogosphere the word on Rafah!"

Jews sans frontieres: "anti-Zionist blog - browsing the media"

If Americans Knew: "what every American needs to know about Israel / Palestine"

Again, I realize that Zionist and anti-Zionist are loaded terms to a lot of WILPFers. We should have a longer discussion about the issue and perhaps you would feel more comfortable with a pro-Israel link added to this mix. If that is the case, please offer it in the Comments section of this post. Personally, I feel that the mainstream media offers one-sided coverage of Israel and Palestine, and I'm hoping to point you to alternative voices.
