Chechnya Weekly from the Jamestown Foundation: "In addition to the newspapers, politicians and officials have also begun to openly criticize Kadyrov for his groundless optimism. 'What Kadyrov is saying is just wishful thinking,' said Viktor Ilyukhin, deputy head of the State Duma’s Security Committee (Regions.ru, July 10). Viktor Alksnis, a State Duma deputy, said the same day that “what is going on in Chechnya cannot be called peaceful life.” Alksnis added: “Kadyrov discredits himself by asserting that the republic is the most stable in the North Caucasus, even as an armed rebellion continues in Chechnya and people are dying there. I feel ashamed for him.”"
Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"
