Yiddish and Esperanto

Claude Piron was a highly respected Swiss Esperanto speaker, guitarist, psychologist and UN translator. Later I discovered he had partial Jewish  roots. He wrote on the influence of Yiddish on the International Language.

Palestinians are more divided than ever-- 2013 --Palestinanoj estas dividataj

La palestinanoj estas pli dividataj ol iam ajn kiam temas pri la rilato al Basxir Assad Registaro en Sirio. Fatahx subtenas lin, Hxamas subtenas rebelantojn. En septembro 2013, Usono subtenos la rebelantojn, igxante amiko de Hxamas. Israelaj araboj estas ankau' dividataj.

Fatah is for Assad government in Syria. Hamas is for the rebels. Israeli Arabs are also divided.
