29-04-2012 10:01

Palestine human rights campaigners today welcomed news that the UK’s fifth biggest food retailer, The Co-operative Group, will “no longer engage with any supplier of produce known to be sourcing from the Israeli settlements”.

comparism between Arab and Jewish schools in Israel

26-04-2012 18:26

In Jerusalem, most schools are government funded, but that doesn’t mean all schools receive the same amount of money.
