PNN/ Hebron/
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Tuesday night have executed two Palestinian children in Hebron, under claims that they tried to stab a soldier in Kiryat Arba illegal settlement.

Local sources said that in addition to the execution of the two children, IOF are detaining two other Palestinians who are badly injured — from the same family.

 

Settlers have carried numerous violent attacks against the Palestinian family homes in Hebron since Monday night, which included gunfire and stone-hurling.

With the two children, IOF and settlers have killed five Palestinians today. In addition, an Israeli settler was killed in an alleged run-over operative,  after he was seen attacking cars with a stick near the Gush Etzyon settlement south of Bethlehem.

Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico
Jemez Pueblo is one of the 19 Rio Grande Pueblos in New Mexico. Photography in the pueblo itself is not allowed (save from a few occasions throughout the year). The only place you are allowed to take photos is outside of the excellent and informative Walatowa Visitor Center a little bit outside of the actual pueblo limits on Hwy 4. Those red rocks are amazingly beautiful.

Non, merci! Why refugees avoid France

201510201411500546t.jpg PARIS, 20 October 2015 (IRIN) – While Germany expects to receive up to one million asylum seekers by the end of 2015, France is preparing for only 65,000, the same number it received last year. Just a few years ago, France had among the highest number of claims in Europe, but its lack of accommodation and support for asylum seekers as well as long wait times for applications to be processed have make it a less attractive option for many refugees.
