Settlers attack Palestinians in their home in Hebron | Maan News Agency

A group of Israeli settlers on Saturday attacked a Palestinian house on Shuhada street in the center of Hebron and assaulted residents and children in the street.

Locals said that around 25 settlers attacked the house owned by Mufeed al-Sharabati, causing damage to it and assaulting its residents before Israeli forces stopped them.

Locals added that settlers also assaulted children who were playing in the same street.

Hebron is a frequent site of clashes due to the presence of 500 Israeli settlers in the Old City, many of whom have illegally occupied Palestinian houses and forcibly removed the original inhabitants.

Settlers and Israeli forces regularly target local Palestinans for harassment, and many have been forced from their homes as a result.

Tories – when we said “Hang Mandela” we meant it in a nice way

Kinda hard to hide the past when it is with you now!

Pride's Purge

British Prime Minister David Cameron today paid his own personal tribute to Nelson Mandela after his death:

Nelson Mandela was not just a hero of our time, but a hero of all time, and as I and…

CIWF wants to shut down Beirut’s Slaughterhouse

Hummus For Thought

ciwf

Compassion in World Farming UK has launched a petition aimed directly at the Lebanese Agriculture Minister asking him to shut down the notorious Karantina Slaughterhouse. And who can blame them? Last year, my class and I visited the Karantina Slaughterhouse and what we found was disturbing to say the least: tortured animals being beaten to death or hanged and left to die in agony; men following the animals and screaming until the latter fall from sheer fear; feces, blood, urine, rotten flesh and cats eating the rotten flesh surrounding living animals. And for those of you who are Muslims, the resulting meat is far from being anything close to Halal.

CIWF released a video as well as a short eye-witness account. Needless to say, the video is not easy to watch. After seeing and reading everything for yourself, please visit the Petition page to help the campaign.

Racist is as racist does!

He arrived in the country eager to talk about Britain\’s close trading ties with India that Downing Street sees as crucial to its theme of \”winning the global race\”.But Cameron was met with questions about Britain\’s \”unfriendly\” immigration rules, behind a sharp drop in the number of Indian students in the UK from 61,000 in 2009 to 16,000 last year.
