The Official Barbara Victor Website

Mecca...The Heart of the Matter

Barbara's blog ranges from Middle East issues to international gossip, and includes her opinions, commentaries, criticism and analysis on all social, political and cultural matters. In other words, Barbara gives her perspective on the mecca or center of the world today. Her blog appears once a month. She welcomes all comments--laudatory and scathing.

This month Barbara discusses the withholding of $100 million by Israel that would pay Palestinian salaries.
