Al Jazeera English - News - 'Us Is The Main Irritant In Iraq'

Al Jazeera English - News - 'Us Is The Main Irritant In Iraq': "In an interview with Al Jazeera, al-Dhari says the slight improvement in the security situation in Iraq 'is due to a decision by the Iraqi government to reign in its death squads'.



He concedes that the 'resistance has temporarily' retreated in the face of US-funded al-Sahwa (Awakening Council) militias 'but that the resistance is regrouping and will bounce back'.



Al-Dhari, who hails from a family reputed for its role in the nationalist resistance against British occupation in the 1920s, says the US presence has allowed other powers to meddle in the country's affairs. He belives an US withdrawal will solve many of his country's present woes."

He went on to convince the Pentagon he was a brilliant chemist who had helped develop mobile biological warfare laboratories."

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review

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.”"
