John Hope Franklin
“Franklin’s Reconstruction After the Civil War (1961) led the final charge against the retreating apologists of the Dunning school that had held sway during most of the century. The monograph buttressed W.E.B.

This is Israel
“When the PRCS ambulance reached the Beit Ummar junction, the Israeli soldiers stopped it and obliged the driver to step out of it.

Hookah

Lacking permits
“Israeli hospitals have also come under criticism for refusing to accept the patients without the financial commitment of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Western-backed government. Many patients simply stopped coming, either lacking permits to cross Israeli roadblocks or fearful that they will be turned away by hospitals.”

Illegal
“The weapon of a senior Israel Defense Forces officer will be confiscated after the man allegedly beat his girlfriend, Ynet has learned. The police have launched an investigation into the incident.” Yes, abusing non-Arabs is illegal in that racist state.

Immigrant workers
“The story of Dubai’s immigrant construction workers shocks and depresses in several different stages. The poor and often illiterate men, who come here in their millions from the Indian sub-continent, are getting exploited from so many different angles that it’s sometimes hard to know who to be angry at.
