Swords into Plowshares: Where to Donate to Help Victims in Middle East and Afghanistan

As MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace is wont to say: we live in truly extraordinary times. The United States is a democracy in danger. And yet… we are so lucky. Israelis, Palestinians, Afghanis are all suffering from disasters — man-made and natural.

Whatever you think of mid-East politics, war, diplomacy and policies, these vulnerable populations need our help.
