I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)

An important piece of video. I applaud those who spoke on it for their courage to criticize the present policies of Israel. I could feel their struggle as they spoke of letting go of the cherished dream with which they'd all grown up. When someone quoted the phrase "Never again" and pointed out that it should mean never again for anyone, not only the Jews, it made me think of King Abdul Aziz's words to Roosevelt: "Why should the Arabs pay for what the Germans did to the Jews?"
Why indeed?
