NPR : The Changing Face of Al Qaida in Anbar Al Qaida in Iraq once held sway in Anbar Province, the vast Sunni region west of Baghdad. Now the terrorist group is smaller in numbers, with more homegrown fighters. And it is operating in smaller pockets in the remote desert areas north of the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah.
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.”"
